Ktor - Vue.js + TypeScript - Type Sharing

Description

This is an example project for using the new IR compiler of kotlin. Defined classes
from the shared project are distributed to the server and client at the same time using the IR compiler for the client (to create TypeScript Definition files)
and normal JVM compilation for server side (to create a local dependency).

Prerequisites

Following tools should be installed on your machine (only tested on Ubuntu):

• Locally installed Yarn
• Java 8 & 11

Getting Started

Directly after a clone you have to initiate one first build:

• In root directory run gradle bundle or ./gradlew bundle.

Development

You will actually need 4 terminals to archive hot reloading while coding.

• In shared dir run : gradle -t build or in root dir run: ./gradlew -t build
• In server dir run: gradle -t installDist or in root dir run: ./gradlew -t installDist
• In server dir run: gradle -t run or in root dir run: ./gradlew -t run
• in client dir run: yarn serve or in root dir run: yarn --cwd client serve

Production

• In root directory run gradle bundle or ./gradlew bundle.

This will create a fat-jar file including everything. In production the built Vue project is served by Ktor itself.

To execute the jar file run java -jar build/server-0.0.1.jar. This will try running on Port 80 (as it’s production),
if you want to test locally run java -jar build/server-0.0.1.jar -port=SOME_PORT.
