i am getting error - This class does not have constructor at object : TypeToken<List<Todo>>() + object is not abstract and does not implement object member
data class Todo(
val identifier: Long ,
val name: String ,
val description: String
)
class DefaultData {
private lateinit var myService: MyService
#PostConstruct
fun initializeDefault() {
val fileContent = this::class.java.classLoader.getResource("example.json").readText()
val todos: List<Todo> = Gson().fromJson(fileContent, object : TypeToken<List<Todo>>() {}.type)
myService.createTodoFromJsontodos
}
}
how can I fix this?
Objective is : To be able to create an endpoint that can get data from json file via service
Is there is a full fledged example
Also how to create interfaces in Ktor? As I want to use Dependency Inversion to enable retrieving data from different sources
Kotlin has built-in util similar to TypeToken, so I suggest using it instead:
Gson().fromJson(fileContent, typeOf<List<Todo>>().javaType)
You will need to add a dependency to kotlin-reflect. typeOf() function is marked as experimental, but I use it for some time already and never had any problems with it.
Also, you said in your comment that this is a starter project. If you don't have any existing code already then I suggest to use kotlinx-serialization instead of Gson. It is a de facto standard in Kotlin.
You can easily take advantage of kotlinx-serialization.
Steps:
Add the kotlin serialization plugin in your build.gradle file
kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.5.20"
plugins {
application
java
id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.5.21"
kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.5.20"
}
Add the dependecy for serialization library
dependencies {
...
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.2.2")
}
Decode your json string to corresponding object using Json decode method
val JSON = Json {isLenient = true}
val mytodos = JSON.decodeFromString(message) as List<Todo>

I'm trying to follow the Gradle custom plugin documentation to create a plugin that can be configured.
My plugin code:
interface MyExtension {
var myValue: Property<String>
}
class MyPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
override fun apply(project: Project) {
val extension = project.extensions.create<MyExtension>("myExt")
}
}
in build.gradle.kts:
plugins {
`java-library`
}
apply<MyPlugin>()
the<MyExtension>().myValue.set("some-value")
Running this will give
Build file '<snip>/build.gradle.kts' line: 6
java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)
Turns out the the<MyExtension>().myValue is null, so the set call fails. How do I do this correctly? Did I miss something in the documentation, or is it just wrong?
The documentation is not wrong. Properties can be managed by either you or by Gradle. For the latter, certain conditions have to be met.
Without managed properties
If you want to be completely in charge, you can instantiate any variables you declare yourself. For example, to declare a property on an extension that is an interface, it could look like this:
override fun apply(project: Project) {
val extension = project.extensions.create("myExt", MyExtension::class.java)
extension.myValue = project.objects.property(String::class.java)
}
Or you could instantiate it directly in the extension by making it a class instead:
open class MessageExtension(objects: ObjectFactory) {
val myValue: Property<String> = objects.property(String::class.java)
}
However, a property field is not really supposed to have a setter as the property itself has both a setter and a getter. So you should generally avoid the first approach and remove the setter on the second.
See here for more examples on managing the properties yourself.
With managed properties
To help you reduce boilerplate code, Gradle can instantiate the properties for you with what is called managed properties. To do use these, the property must not have a setter, and the getter should be abstract (which it implicitly is on an interface). So you could go back to your first example and fix it by changing var to val:
interface MyExtension {
val myValue: Property<String> // val (getter only)
}
Now Gradle will instantiate the field for you. The same thing works for abstract classes.
Read more about managed properties in the documentation here.
I am new to Kotlin JS.
I am trying to port the business logic of my android app to Kotlin JS.
My app uses the class org.json.JsonObject to do custom serialization. I can't use KotlinX serialization with annotations because my classes are inline and these annotations are not supported.
The Kotlin-JS project uses Gradle Kotlin DSL. I am specifying the dependency as "implementation ("org.json:json:20190722")". The compiler throws the error "unresolved reference" for anything from the library. I suspect it is not legal to link to a java library this way for Kotlin-JS. Is this true?
What is the best way to get an implementation of JsonObject into my app? Do I need to copy the source code into my project and compile it to JS myself?
Thanks for any help.
If you don't want to use the annotations in the kotlinx.serizalization library, you can still include it in your android and js platforms.
You will just need to construct and use the JsonObject type that is present on both platforms manually.
You can see the JsonObject definition in the library here:
https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/ffe216f0293231b09eea24a10aa4bc26ff6d5b90/runtime/commonMain/src/kotlinx/serialization/json/JsonElement.kt#L217
Here is an example of manually constructing a JsonObject using kotlinx.serialization classes
data class AnalyticsEvent(
val name: Event,
val columns: Map<Column, JsonPrimitive>? = null,
val properties: Map<Property, JsonElement>? = null
) : LoggingEvent() {
override fun toJson(): JsonObject {
val content: MutableMap<String, JsonElement> = mutableMapOf()
content[EVENT_NAME_KEY] = JsonPrimitive(name.actual)
val columnJSON = columns?.mapKeys { it.key.actual }
columnJSON?.let {
content[EVENT_COLUMNS_KEY] = JsonObject(columnJSON)
}
val propertiesJSON = properties?.mapKeys { it.key.actual }
propertiesJSON?.let {
content[EVENT_PROPERTIES_KEY] = JsonObject(propertiesJSON)
}
return JsonObject(content)
}
PixiJS (or rather, Resource Loader), returns a JS object shaped like this in the callback of the load function:
{
"resource-you-asked-for.png": {
url: "foo.png",
error: <optional error>,
data: <binary data>
},
"second-resource.png": { ... }
}
My question is...how do I model this in Kotlin.js? I can't just say this is a Map<String, LoaderResult> -- then Kotlin will try to use get (a mangled get actually) to index into it. And I can't subclass dynamic obviously.
Suggestions?
JavaScript object that acts like a Map can be used in Kotlin as external interface with extension get and set operator functions:
external interface ResourceDictionary
inline operator fun ResourceDictionary.get(name: String): LoaderResult? =
this.asDynamic()[name]
inline operator fun ResourceDictionary.set(name: String, result: LoaderResult?) {
this.asDynamic()[name] = result
}
JavaScript object that acts like a class be used in Kotlin as external class
external open class LoaderResult {
var url: String
var data: ByteArray
var error: Error?
}
You can also convert TypeScript definitions using ts2kt tool:
$ npm install -g ts2kt
Find index.d.ts file for PixiJS
$ ts2kt index.d.ts
Then you'll be able to find external interface ResourceDictionary and external open class Resource in pixi.PIXI.loaders.kt:
I use the lib jackson-module-kotlin to parse string of json into object.
My issue is when I parse a string into an enum , and when I launch with intellij, I have this stack trace:
Caused by: kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.KotlinReflectionInternalError:
Reflection on built-in Kotlin types is not yet fully supported. No
metadata found for public final val name: kotlin.String defined in
kotlin.Enum[DeserializedPropertyDescriptor#212b316a]
I don't have this issue when I launch with maven.
I use kotlin 1.1.51, with intellij kotlin plugin 1.2.0-release-IJ2017.3-1, I target a JVM 1.8, and i use jackson-module-kotlin version 2.8.7
what should I do?
enum class CType { DEAL, FILE }
data class Code(val code: String, val type: CType)
fun testDeserialization() {
val mapper = jacksonObjectMapper()
// following line throws an exception:
mapper.readValue("""{"code":"A","type":"DEAL"}""", Code::class.java)
}
The only way I got it working is by adding additional #JvmStatic annotation. I had mapper.registerModule(new KotlinModule()); and all, nothing worked but this:
package nc.features.algo.model
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonValue
enum class LHStatus (
#get:JsonValue val code: Int
) {
LH_POS_OVU_WAITING(1),
LH_NEG_OVU_WAITING(2),
;
companion object {
#JsonCreator
#JvmStatic
fun deser(code: Int?): LHStatus? {
if (code == null) return null
for (i in values()) {
if (i.code == code) return i
}
return null
}
}
}
You have to do a few things.
Update Jackson dependencies to the latest version (right now, 2.9.4).
Update Kotlin version to a version equal or greater than 1.3.0.
Be sure to add the following dependencies to your build.gradle:
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:$kotlin_version"
implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin:$jackson_version"
... then you call registerKotlinModule() on your Jackson ObjectMapper and the code of your enum should be just like this:
enum class CType(#get:JsonValue val value: String) {
DEAL("deal"),
FILE("file");
companion object {
#JsonCreator
fun fromString(value: String): CType? {
for (type in CType.values()) {
if (type.name.equals(value, true)) {
return gender
}
}
return null
}
}
}
Intellij is most likely using the kotlin compiler version 1.2.0 (from the plugin) and it doesn't seem to support reflection properly.
I suggest you do one of the following:
Upgrade your kotlin version in maven and the intellij kotlin plugin to newer versions (e.g. 1.2.30). If you do that, you also have to update jackson-module-kotlin to >= 1.9, since there is an incompatibility with kotlin 1.2 (see here).
Set the kotlin compiler version to 1.1 in Intellij Idea settings.
It is generally a good idea to use the same version of kotlin in Intellij Idea and maven/gradle.
You need to use the Kotlin module for Jackson that is compatible with Kotlin 1.2.x, this includes minimally these three versions of the module:
2.9.4.1 (works with any 2.9.x of Jackson, but best to use most recent)
2.8.11.1 (for Jackson 2.8.x)
2.7.9.1 (for Jackson 2.7.x)
Otherwise, you will run into a problem with library mismatches.
The jackson-module-kotlin homepage lists these as the current versions, but they are likely to change and you can check the various Maven repository search engines to see which library versions are available and which dependencies they have on Kotlin to find matching versions.
Also note you can import the extensions for the ObjectMapper class and use reified types, so instead of:
val something = mapper.readValue("""{"code":"A","type":"DEAL"}""", Code::class.java)
you would have:
val something: Code = mapper.readValue("""{"code":"A","type":"DEAL"}""")
or alternatively:
val something = mapper.readValue<Code>("""{"code":"A","type":"DEAL"}""")
It is usually bad to use the erased type (i.e. Whatever::class.java) since this does not work for anything with generic type parameters, and using reified types also works nicely when deserializing into collections.
Is there a way to use Parceler with Kotlin data classes and constructor for serialization without using #ParcelProperty annotation for each field?
If I try and use library like this:
#Parcel
data class Valve #ParcelConstructor constructor(val size: Int)
I get Error:Parceler: No corresponding property found for constructor parameter arg0. But if I add #ParcelProperty("size") it works just fine.
Why is that?
Update:
There are other another way to use this library.
I could just remove #ParcelConstructor annotation, but then I will get error
Error:Parceler: No #ParcelConstructor annotated constructor and no default empty bean constructor found.
I think (haven't tested it) I also could make all constructor parameters optional and add #JvmOverloads but that has a side effect that I have to check all properties of the class if they are null or not.
Update 2:
This is what worked for me:
#Parcel
data class Valve(val size: Int? = null)
In short generated Java class must have default empty constructor. One way to achieve that is to do as above - all variables should have default values.
According to the docs, Parceler by default works with public fields. But a usual Kotlin data class (as in your example) is rather a "traditional getter/setter bean", since every Kotlin property is represented by a private field and a getter/[setter].
TL; DR: I think this will work:
#Parcel(Serialization.BEAN)
data class Valve(val size: Int = 10)
Note the default value, it allows Kotlin to automatically generate an additional empty constructor, which is required by the Java Been specification.
Another way would be to mark the constructor that we already have:
#Parcel(Serialization.BEAN)
data class Driver #ParcelConstructor constructor(val name: String)
The specific document: https://github.com/johncarl81/parceler#gettersetter-serialization
I know this question already has an answer, but for future viewers who are also struggling to get Parceler to work with kotlin data objects, I wrote a new annotation processor to generate the Parcelable boilerplate for Kotlin data classes. It's designed to massively reduce the boilerplate code in making your data classes Parcelable:
https://github.com/grandstaish/paperparcel
Usage:
Annotate your data class with #PaperParcel, implement PaperParcelable, and add a JVM static instance of the generated CREATOR e.g.:
#PaperParcel
data class Example(
val test: Int,
...
) : PaperParcelable {
companion object {
#JvmField val CREATOR = PaperParcelExample.CREATOR
}
}
Now your data class is Parcelable and can be passed directly to a Bundle or Intent
Edit: Update with latest API
Just add the default constructor:
#Parcel
data class Valve(val size: Int) {
constructor() : this(0)
}
if you use Kotlin 1.1.4 or above it's easier to use #Parcelize annotation
For doing this first add this to build.gradle
android {
//other codes
//for using latest experimental build of Android Extensions
androidExtensions {
experimental = true
}
}
Then change your class like this
#Parcelize
data class Valve(val size: Int? = null) : Parcelable
