Gradle Kotlin DSL
Version Catalogs (libs.versions.toml)
[versions]
kotlin = "1.9.25"
spring-boot = "3.3.5"
ktor = "2.3.7"
[libraries]
spring-boot-starter-web = { module = "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web" }
ktor-server-core = { module = "io.ktor:ktor-server-core", version.ref = "ktor" }
[plugins]
kotlin-jvm = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm", version.ref = "kotlin" }
Dependency Scopes
| Scope | When |
|---|
implementation | Internal dependency, not exposed to consumers |
api | Exposed to consumers (use sparingly, only in libraries) |
compileOnly | Compile-time only (annotations, provided) |
runtimeOnly | Runtime only (JDBC drivers, logging impl) |
testImplementation | Test dependencies |
Multi-Module Conventions
- Root
build.gradle.kts defines shared plugins and versions
- Each module has its own
build.gradle.kts with specific dependencies
- Use
project(":module-name") for inter-module dependencies
- Enable parallel builds:
org.gradle.parallel=true
- Enable build cache:
org.gradle.caching=true
