Breaking changes in compiler plugin: * Remove java.Serializable supertype * Move serializer impl from companion to special inner class * Add generic serializer fields in $serializer and serializer getter in companion kotlin.Pair serializer Generating getter also for non-generic serializers Generic serializers in JS
Kotlin serialization IDEA plugin
Kotlin serialization plugin consists of three parts: a compiler plugin, an IntelliJ plugin and a runtime library.
This is the IDEA plugin. Gradle and Maven plugins can be found in libraries folder.
Please note that this plugin currently works only for highlighting and resolving symbols, and it doesn't work with embedded IDEA compiler.
To build any project with serialization within IDEA, you'll need to delegate all build actions to gradle:
File - Settings - Build, Execution, Deployment - Build Tools - Gradle - Runner - tick Delegate IDE build/run actions to gradle.
IntelliJ projects currently are not supported.
Compiler plugins are uploaded on bintray: https://bintray.com/kotlin/kotlinx/kotlinx.serialization.plugin
Building and usage
Prerequisites:
Before all, follow the instructions from root README.md to download dependencies and build Kotlin compiler. (ant -f update_dependencies.xml && ./gradlew dist)
Plugin works only with IntelliJIDEA 2017.2 and higher.
Make sure you have latest dev version of Kotlin plugin installed.
With gradle:
Run ./gradlew :kotlinx-serialization-compiler-plugin:dist.
In IDEA, open Settings - Plugins - Install plugin from disk... and choose $kotlin_root/dist/artifacts/Serialization/lib/kotlinx-serialization-compiler-plugin.jar
From within IDE (for development):
Run ./gradlew runIde You'll get a fresh copy of IDEA with Kotlin and Kotlin-serialization plugins built from sources.
Building gradle plugin
Run ./gradlew :kotlinx-gradle-serialization-plugin:install
Building maven plugin
Go to $kotlin_root/libraries/tools/kotlin-maven-serialization. Run mvn install
