Generates compile-time constant names for declarations with zero runtime overhead. Offers full symbol coverage and IDE-friendly generated code with immediate visibility and navigation support.
Generate Compile-Time Constant Names for Kotlin Declarations.
THIS IS A TOY PROJECT NOW, DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION LEVEL PROJECT!
✨ Zero Runtime Overhead Generates constants at compile time via compiler plugin, eliminating reflection.
📦 Full Symbol Coverage Supports classes, properties, functions, and objects (the newest version only supports classes)
Add Maven Central into setting.gradle.kts
pluginManagement {
repositories {
mavenCentral() // add this line, if you do not have `pluginManagement` block, add this whole block
gradlePluginPortal()
}
}
Add dependencies into build.gradle.kts
plugins {
kotlin("jvm") version "2.1.20"
id("io.github.xyzboom.konst") version "0.3.0" // add this line
}
Setup plugin in build.gradle.kts using a konst block. If you are familiar with allopen plugin, this will be really easy.
konst {
annotation("org.example.YourAnnotation")
}
Create and apply the annotation @YourAnnotation on the const val property.
package org.example
annotation class YourAnnotation
import org.example.YourAnnotation
annotation class A(
val value: String
)
class B
@YourAnnotation
const val a = "B simpleName: ${B::class.simpleName}; A qualifiedName: ${A::class.qualifiedName}"
@A(a)
fun {
println(a)
}
Your IDE may complain "[CONST_VAL_WITH_NON_CONST_INITIALIZER] Const 'val' initializer should be a constant value" at const val a line and "[ANNOTATION_ARGUMENT_MUST_BE_CONST] An annotation argument must be a compile-time constant" at @A(a). But this code compiles with konst plugin on.
