Kotlin support about blade

[rciurkot]

Fortunately that line of code (selecting kapt or apt) was enough :)

I use it in mixed java/kotlin project with about 75% codebase in java. Blade is generating its classes for both java and kotlin code.

Hi,
no, this library does not support Kotlin classes. I'm planning to look at it. But I don't have time for it currently.

I don't use Kotlin, so it wasn't that important when I started this library.

If there is somebody who knows how to support kapt or about some open-source library that also supports kapt (from which I can inspire) - please leave a comment. thanks

It turns out that Blade and Kotlin can play well together :) You just have to enable generating stubs in kapt.
Put this in your build.gradle and everything should work fine.

kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

Sometimes build is failing (InstantRun + kotlin incremental builds) but then simple clean-build action will make it work again.

Thanks @FrantisekGazo for such an awesome library :)

@rciurkot that's great news. Thanks for sharing this solution :)

Blade is using kapt or apt based on found plugin - as you can see here: https://github.com/FrantisekGazo/Blade/blob/master/plugin/src/main/groovy/eu/f3rog/blade/plugin/BladePlugin.groovy. That is code I added when I started the library, but I was expecting that I will have to do something more.

@rciurkot did you try it with pure kotlin app or mixed java/kotlin?
