Konsist is a linter that guards the consistency of Kotlin projects by enforcing a cohesive code structure and unified architecture. Konsist guards are written in the form of unit tests (JUnit / Kotest).

Dependencies

// Gradle Kotlin:
testImplementation("com.lemonappdev:konsist:0.13.0")

// Gradle Groovy:
testImplementation "com.lemonappdev:konsist:0.13.0"

// Maven:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.lemonappdev</groupId>
    <artifactId>konsist</artifactId>
    <version>0.13.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Examples

Konsist API reflects the structure of Kotlin code. All declarations such as classes, functions, and properties can be queried and verified with the Konsist API. Take a look at a few examples below.

General Kotlin Check

@Test
fun `classes with 'UseCase' suffix should reside in 'usecase' package`() {
    Konsist.scopeFromProject()
        .classes()
        .withNameEndingWith("UseCase")
        .assertTrue { it.resideInPackage("..usecase..") }
}

Android Specific Check

@Test
fun `classes extending 'ViewModel' should have 'ViewModel' suffix`() {
    Konsist.scopeFromProject()
        .classes()
        .withAllParentsOf(ViewModel::class)
        .assertTrue { it.name.endsWith("ViewModel") }
}

Spring Specific Check

@Test
fun `interfaces with 'Repository' annotation should have 'Repository' suffix`() {
    Konsist
        .scopeFromProject()
        .interfaces()
        .withAllAnnotationsOf(Repository::class)
        .assertTrue { it.hasNameEndingWith("Repository") }
}

Architecture Layers Check

@Test
fun `clean architecture layers have correct dependencies`() {
    Konsist
        .scopeFromProduction()
        .assertArchitecture {
            // Define layers
            val domain = Layer("Domain", "com.myapp.domain..")
            val presentation = Layer("Presentation", "com.myapp.presentation..")
            val data = Layer("Data", "com.myapp.data..")

            // Define architecture assertions
            domain.dependsOnNothing()
            presentation.dependsOn(domain)
            data.dependsOn(domain)
        }
}
