# Bazel Kotlin Rules
Current release: ***`1.6.0`***<br />
Current RC release: ***`v1.7.0-RC-2`***<br />
Main branch: `master`
For more information about release and changelogs please see [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) or refer to the [Github Releases](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/releases) page.
# Overview
**rules_kotlin** supports the basic paradigm of `*_binary`, `*_library`, `*_test` of other Bazel
language rules. It also supports `jvm`, `android`, and `js` flavors, with the prefix `kt_jvm`
and `kt_js`, and `kt_android` typically applied to the rules.
Support for kotlin's -Xfriend-paths via the `associates=` attribute in the jvm allow access to
`internal` members.
Also, `kt_jvm_*` rules support the following standard `java_*` rules attributes:
* `data`
* `resource_jars`
* `runtime_deps`
* `resources`
* `resources_strip_prefix`
* `exports`
Android rules also support custom_package for `R.java` generation, `manifest=`, `resource_files`, etc.
Other features:
* Persistent worker support.
* Mixed-Mode compilation (compile Java and Kotlin in one pass).
* Configurable Kotlinc distribution and version
* Configurable Toolchain
* Support for all recent major Kotlin releases.
Javascript is reported to work, but is not as well maintained (at present)

# Quick Guide
## `WORKSPACE`
In the project's `WORKSPACE`, declare the external repository and initialize the toolchains, like
this:
```python
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
rules_kotlin_version = "1.6.0"
rules_kotlin_sha = "a57591404423a52bd6b18ebba7979e8cd2243534736c5c94d35c89718ea38f94"
http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_kotlin",
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/releases/download/v%s/rules_kotlin_release.tgz" % rules_kotlin_version],
sha256 = rules_kotlin_sha,
)
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:repositories.bzl", "kotlin_repositories")
kotlin_repositories() # if you want the default. Otherwise see custom kotlinc distribution below
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_register_toolchains")
kt_register_toolchains() # to use the default toolchain, otherwise see toolchains below
```
## `BUILD` files
In your project's `BUILD` files, load the Kotlin rules and use them like so:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:jvm.bzl", "kt_jvm_library")
kt_jvm_library(
name = "package_name",
srcs = glob(["*.kt"]),
deps = [
"//path/to/dependency",
],
)
```
## Custom toolchain
To enable a custom toolchain (to configure language level, etc.)
do the following. In a `<workspace>/BUILD.bazel` file define the following:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "define_kt_toolchain")
define_kt_toolchain(
name = "kotlin_toolchain",
api_version = KOTLIN_LANGUAGE_LEVEL, # "1.1", "1.2", "1.3", "1.4", "1.5" "1.6", or "1.7"
jvm_target = JAVA_LANGUAGE_LEVEL, # "1.6", "1.8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "15", "16", or "17"
language_version = KOTLIN_LANGUAGE_LEVEL, # "1.1", "1.2", "1.3", "1.4", "1.5" "1.6", or "1.7"
)
```
and then in your `WORKSPACE` file, instead of `kt_register_toolchains()` do
```python
register_toolchains("//:kotlin_toolchain")
```
## Custom `kotlinc` distribution (and version)
To choose a different `kotlinc` distribution (1.3 and 1.4 variants supported), do the following
in your `WORKSPACE` file (or import from a `.bzl` file:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:repositories.bzl", "kotlin_repositories", "kotlinc_version")
kotlin_repositories(
compiler_release = kotlinc_version(
release = "1.6.21", # just the numeric version
sha256 = "632166fed89f3f430482f5aa07f2e20b923b72ef688c8f5a7df3aa1502c6d8ba"
)
)
```
## Third party dependencies
_(e.g. Maven artifacts)_
Third party (external) artifacts can be brought in with systems such as [`rules_jvm_external`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external) or [`bazel_maven_repository`](https://github.com/square/bazel_maven_repository) or [`bazel-deps`](https://github.com/johnynek/bazel-deps), but make sure the version you use doesn't naively use `java_import`, as this will cause bazel to make an interface-only (`ijar`), or ABI jar, and the native `ijar` tool does not know about kotlin metadata with respect to inlined functions, and will remove method bodies inappropriately. Recent versions of `rules_jvm_external` and `bazel_maven_repository` are known to work with Kotlin.
# Development Setup Guide
As of 1.5.0, to use the rules directly from the rules_kotlin workspace (i.e. not the release artifact)
require the use of `release_archive` repository. This repository will build and configure the current
workspace to use `rules_kotlin` in the same manner as the released binary artifact.
In the project's `WORKSPACE`, change the setup:
```python
# Use local check-out of repo rules (or a commit-archive from github via http_archive or git_repository)
local_repository(
name = "release_archive",
path = "../path/to/rules_kotlin_clone/src/main/starlark/release_archive",
)
load("@release_archive//:repository.bzl", "archive_repository")
archive_repository(
name = "io_bazel_rules_kotlin",
local_path = "../path/to/rules_kotlin_clone/"
)
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:repositories.bzl", "kotlin_repositories", "versions")
kotlin_repositories()
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_register_toolchains")
kt_register_toolchains()
```
To use rules_kotlin from head without cloning the repository, (caveat emptor, of course), change the
rules to this:
```python
# Download master or specific revisions
http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_kotlin_master",
strip_prefix = "rules_kotlin-master",
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"],
)
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin_master//src/main/starlark/release_archive:repository.bzl", "archive_repository")
archive_repository(
name = "io_bazel_rules_kotlin",
source_repository_name = "io_bazel_rules_kotlin_master",
)
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:repositories.bzl", "kotlin_repositories")
kotlin_repositories()
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_register_toolchains")
kt_register_toolchains()
```
# Kotlin and Java compiler flags
The `kt_kotlinc_options` and `kt_javac_options` rules allows passing compiler flags to kotlinc and javac.
Note: Not all compiler flags are supported in all language versions. When this happens, the rules will fail.
For example you can define global compiler flags by doing:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_kotlinc_options", "kt_javac_options", "define_kt_toolchain")
kt_kotlinc_options(
name = "kt_kotlinc_options",
warn = "report",
)
kt_javac_options(
name = "kt_javac_options",
warn = "report",
x_ep_disable_all_checks = False,
)
define_kt_toolchain(
name = "kotlin_toolchain",
kotlinc_options = "//:kt_kotlinc_options",
javac_options = "//:kt_javac_options",
)
```
You can optionally override compiler flags at the target level by providing an alternative set of `kt_kotlinc_options` or `kt_javac_options` in your target definitions.
Compiler flags that are passed to the rule definitions will be taken over the toolchain definition.
Example:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_kotlinc_options", "kt_javac_options", "kt_jvm_library")
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:jvm.bzl","kt_javac_options", "kt_jvm_library")
kt_kotlinc_options(
name = "kt_kotlinc_options_for_package_name",
warn = "error",
)
kt_javac_options(
name = "kt_javac_options_for_package_name",
warn = "error",
x_ep_disable_all_checks = True,
x_optin = ["kotlin.Experimental", "kotlin.ExperimentalStdlibApi"]
)
kt_jvm_library(
name = "package_name",
srcs = glob(["*.kt"]),
kotlinc_options = "//:kt_kotlinc_options_for_package_name",
javac_options = "//:kt_javac_options_for_package_name",
deps = ["//path/to/dependency"],
)
```
Additionally, you can add options for both tracing and timing of the bazel build using the `kt_trace` and `kt_timings` flags, for example:
* `bazel build --define=kt_trace=1`
* `bazel build --define=kt_timings=1`
`kt_trace=1` will allow you to inspect the full kotlinc commandline invocation, while `kt_timings=1` will report the high level time taken for each step.
# Kotlin compiler plugins
The `kt_compiler_plugin` rule allows running Kotlin compiler plugins, such as no-arg, sam-with-receiver and allopen.
For example, you can add allopen to your project like this:
```python
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_compiler_plugin")
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:jvm.bzl", "kt_jvm_library")
kt_compiler_plugin(
name = "open_for_testing_plugin",
id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.allopen",
options = {
"annotation": "plugin.allopen.OpenForTesting",
},
deps = [
"@com_github_jetbrains_kotlin//:allopen-compiler-plugin",
],
)
kt_jvm_library(
name = "user",
srcs = ["User.kt"], # The User class is annotated with OpenForTesting
plugins = [
":open_for_testing_plugin",
],
deps = [
":open_for_testing", # This contains the annotation (plugin.allopen.OpenForTesting)
],
)
```
Full examples of using compiler plugins can be found [here](examples/plugin).
## Examples
Examples can be found in the [examples directory](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/tree/master/examples), including usage with Android, Dagger, Node-JS, Kotlin compiler plugins, etc.
# History
These rules were initially forked from [pubref/rules_kotlin](http://github.com/pubref/rules_kotlin), and then re-forked from [bazelbuild/rules_kotlin](http://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin). They were merged back into this repository in October, 2019.
