MpApt - Kotlin (Native/JS/JVM) Annotation Processor library

Introduction 🙋‍♂️ 🙋‍

Note This project is deprecated, when you are looking for a multiplatform annotation processor, please take a look at KSP

I wrote an annotation processing libary that can detect annotations in Kotlin Native/JS and Jvm projects, because Kapt is only working with KotlinJvm. The library can be used in Kotlin Compiler plugins. Tested with Kotlin 1.4.0,1.5.10

It can detect annotations with following targets:

(CLASS,FUNCTION,PROPERTY,VALUE_PARAMETER,PROPERTY_GETTER,PROPERTY_GETTER,CONSTRUCTOR)
(ANNOTATION_CLASS,TYPE_PARAMETER,FIELD,FILE,LocalVariable)

Example output of my example plugin on Kotlin Native:

Show some ❤️ and star the repo to support the project

Projects that use MpApt:

• Native Suspended Functions

• Kvision

• Godot Kotlin

• fritz2-optics

• Your project?

Usage

These are the instructions for v0.8.7, check Changelog for changes on the active development branch

Inside your compiler plugin, add the dependency from MavenCentral

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
   compile 'de.jensklingenberg:mpapt-runtime:0.8.7'
}

1. Create a class that extends de.jensklingenberg.mpapt.model.AbstractProcessor

class MpAptTestProcessor() : AbstractProcessor() {

2. Add the names of your annotations that you want to detect:

override fun getSupportedAnnotationTypes(): Set<String> = setOf(TestClass::class.java.name, TestFunction::class.java.name)

3. Do something with detected annotations:

override fun process(roundEnvironment: RoundEnvironment) {
roundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWith(TestClass::class.java.name).forEach {
            when (it) {
                is Element.ClassElement -> {
                    log("Found Class: " + it.classDescriptor.name + " Module: " + it.classDescriptor.module.simpleName() + " platform   " + activeTargetPlatform.first().platformName)
                }
            }
        }

        roundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWith(TestFunction::class.java.name).forEach {
            when (it) {
                is Element.FunctionElement -> {
                    log("Found Function: " + it.func.name + " Module: " + it.func.module.simpleName() + " platform   " + activeTargetPlatform.first().platformName)
                }
            }
        }
}

4. Init MpApt inside your ComponentRegistrar:

• Pass an instance of your processor and the CompilerConfiguration into MpAptProject
• Then add an instance of MpAptProject to the following extension classes:

Inside a Kotlin Native Compiler Plugin:

override fun registerProjectComponents(project: MockProject, configuration: CompilerConfiguration) {
        val processor = MpAptTestProcessor()
        val mpapt = MpAptProject(processor,configuration)

        StorageComponentContainerContributor.registerExtension(project,mpapt)
        IrGenerationExtension.registerExtension(project,mpapt)
    }

Inside a Kotlin JVM/JS Compiler Plugin:

 override fun registerProjectComponents(
            project: MockProject,
            configuration: CompilerConfiguration
    ) {
        val processor = MpAptTestProcessor()
        val mpapt = MpAptProject(processor,configuration)
        StorageComponentContainerContributor.registerExtension(project,mpapt)
        ClassBuilderInterceptorExtension.registerExtension(project,mpapt)
        JsSyntheticTranslateExtension.registerExtension(project,mpapt)
    }

5. That's it

Choose supported target platforms

By default your processor is enabled for every target. You can override

isTargetPlatformSupported(platform: TargetPlatform): Boolean

and return "true" if you want to support the target or "false" you don't.

   override fun isTargetPlatformSupported(platform: TargetPlatform): Boolean {
         val targetName = platform.first().platformName
 
         return when (targetName) {
             KotlinPlatformValues.JS -> true
             KotlinPlatformValues.JVM -> true
             KotlinPlatformValues.NATIVE -> {
                 return when (configuration.nativeTargetPlatformName()) {
                     KonanTargetValues.LINUX_X64, KonanTargetValues.MACOS_X64 -> {
                         true
                     }
                     else -> {
                         true
                     }
                 }
             }
             else -> {
                 log(targetName)
                 true
             }
         }
 
     }

You can distinguish between the native target platforms you want to support.

configuration.nativeTargetPlatformName() will get you the names of the Native Targets(macos_x64,linux_x64,etc). The values are defined in KonanTargetValues. It needs to be used only on Kotlin Native otherwise it will return an empty string
