Startup ¶

Plugins Package: dev.inmo:micro_utils.startup.plugin
Launcher Package: dev.inmo:micro_utils.startup.launcher

This package contains unified simple Plugin/Launcher tools for separating of your apps parts

Plugin¶

To define plugin, you must use StartPlugin as supertype for your plugin. Restrictions are simple: plugins must be an object or class with empty constructor. Basic sample is here:

object YourPlugin : StartPlugin {
    // Body of your plugin
}

Each plugin may contains to parts:

setupDI function to set up DI part
startPlugin function to start plugin

object YourPlugin : StartPlugin {
    override fun Module.setupDI(config: JsonObject) {
        // here you may setup any DI content you wish to be available in context of current Koin module
    }
    override fun startPlugin(koin: Koin) {
        // all staff from setupDI and the same function of other plugins is available in koin
    }
}

Launcher¶

Basically, launcher module can be used to start application directly from gradle. Let’s imagine you have this gradle groovy config:

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm'
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization"
    id 'application'
}

dependencies {
    // kotlin and other dependencies
    implementation ("dev.inmo:micro_utils.startup.launcher:$latest_version")
}

application {
    mainClassName = 'dev.inmo.micro_utils.startup.launcher.MainKt'
}

You will be able to run your project with gradle command ./gradlew run --args="path/to/config.json". config.json must contains something like:

{
    "plugins": [
        "dev.inmo.micro_utils.startup.launcher.HelloWorldPlugin"
    ]
}

In current case you will see in logger different logs about launching including log from HelloWorldPlugin with text Hello world.
