Implement Annotation Processing API (JSR 269) natively in Kotlin

Use javac annotation processing implementation, generate AST stubs for Kotlin classes

Dagger2 site

Notes:-

To enable experimental kapt, just add the following line to your build.gradle: apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

This example uses experimental kapt3 annotation processor plugin, does not require stubs.

Previous version, unless generateStubs = true is enabled, "bootstrap" Java code is required to reference generated sources.

kapt {
  generateStubs = true
}

Stubs, compiler generated intermediate classes, allows "generated" sources to be referenced from Kotlin otherwise the compiler will not be able to reference the missing sources.

Generated source is created in "build/generated/source/kapt/main", as this is under "build", normally excluded from IntelliJ's project sources, this source root will be marked in the build script itself.

sourceSets {
  main.java.srcDirs += [file("$buildDir/generated/source/kapt/main")]
}

Shows Planets being injected via constructor by qualifier

public class TerrestrialPlanets @Inject (@Named("Mercury") val mercury: Planet,
                                         @Named("Venus") val venus: Planet,
                                         @Named("Earth") val earth: Planet,
                                         @Named("Mars") val mars: Planet) {
}

The TerrestrialPlanetsModule, for example, provides a singleton named "Mercury" etc.

@Module
public class TerrestrialPlanetsModule {

    @Provides @Singleton @Named("Mercury")
    public fun first() : Planet {
        return Mercury()
    }

    @Provides @Singleton @Named("Venus")
    public fun second() : Planet {
        return Venus()
    }

    @Provides @Singleton @Named("Earth")
    public fun third() : Planet {
        return Earth()
    }

    @Provides @Singleton @Named("Mars")
    public fun fourth() : Planet {
        return Mars()
    }
