Minimal Kotlin Multiplatform project with SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Compose for Wear OS, Compose for Desktop, Compose for Web, and Kotlin/JS + React clients along with Ktor backend. Currently running on
- Android (Jetpack Compose)
- Android App Widget (Compose based Glance API - contributed by https://github.com/yschimke)
- Wear OS (Compose for Wear OS - primarily developed by https://github.com/yschimke)
- iOS (SwiftUI)
- iOS App Widget (SwiftUI)
- watchOS (SwiftUI) (contributed by https://github.com/nealsanche)
- macOS (SwiftUI)
- Desktop (Compose for Desktop)
- Web (Compose for Web)
- Web (Kotlin/JS + React Wrapper) (contributed by https://github.com/PatilShreyas)
- JVM (small Ktor back end service +
Main.kt
incommon
module)
It makes use of Open Notify PeopleInSpace API to show list of people currently in space and also the position of the International Space Station (inspired by https://kousenit.org/2019/12/19/a-few-astronomical-examples-in-kotlin/)!
The project is included as sample in the official Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile docs and also the Google Dev Library

Note that this repository very much errs on the side of minimalism to help more clearly illustrate key moving parts of a Kotlin Multiplatform project and also to hopefully help someone just starting to explore KMP to get up and running for first time (and is of course primarily focused on use of Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI). If you're at the stage of moving beyond this then I'd definitely recommend checking out KaMPKit from Touchlab. I also have the following samples that demonstrate the use of a variety of Kotlin Multiplatform libraries (and also use Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI).
Building
You need to use Android Studio Arctic Fox (note: Java 11 is now the minimum version required). Requires XCode 13.2 or later (due to use of new Swift 5.5 concurrnecy APIs).
When opening iOS/watchOS/macOS projects remember to open .xcworkspace
file (and not .xcodeproj
one).
To exercise (React based) web client run ./gradlew :web:browserDevelopmentRun
.
To run backend you can either run ./gradlew :backend:run
or run Server.kt
directly from Android Studio. After doing that you should then for example be able to open http://localhost:9090/astros_local.json
in a browser.
Compose for Web client
The Compose for Web client resides in the compose-web
module and can be run by invoking ./gradlew :compose-web:jsBrowserDevelopmentRun
Compose for Desktop client
This client is available in compose-desktop
module. Note that you need to use appropriate version of JVM when running (works for example with Java 11)
Deploying backend code
Have tested this out in Google App Engine deployment. Using shadowJar plugin to create an "uber" jar and then deploying it as shown below. Should be possible to deploy this jar to other services as well.
./gradlew :backend:shadowJar
gcloud app deploy backend/build/libs/backend-all.jar
