Dmitry Jemerov | Develop Multiplatform Projects in Kotlin

Dmitry Jemerov explains how to share business logic across JVM, JS, and mobile platforms using Kotlin Multiplatform.

Dmitry Jemerov | Develop Multiplatform Projects in Kotlin Conference for Kotliners 2018, Budapest Interested in attending Kotliners 2019? You can sign up for updates at conferenceforkotliners.com Talk abstract: In Kotlin 1.2, we’ve added support for developing multiplatform projects. Multiplatform projects allow you to reuse the business logic written in Kotlin between all the components of your application – backend code on the JVM, frontend code in JS, and also mobile apps. The common code is compiled for all platforms and can access platform-specific implementations of APIs and libraries. The platform-specific parts are also written in Kotlin and have access to the full set of features of the corresponding platform. In this talk, we’ll look at language and IDE features that support developing multiplatform projects, and at the libraries that can be used in such projects. As an example, we’ll study a project that supports isomorphic HTML rendering, or, in other words, reuses the HTML building code between the frontend and the backend.
