Modules

Konvert is split into multiple modules.

The most important modules for the usage are:

• konvert-api

  This module brings the module konvert-annotations with it and adds constants for available converter names and option keys.

  • konvert-annotations

    This module contains mainly annotations which you can use to annotate your classes or mapper interfaces to generate mapping code by Konvert.

• konvert

  This is the module which bundles konvert-processor and konvert-converter together, so that you can simply use this module as your KSP processor.

  • konvert-converter

    Contains all the default TypeConverters of Konvert. See here to view them all.

  • konvert-processor

    This is the module which contains the actual KSP implementation, which will process the annotations, collect annotated converters and generate code for each mapping.

To extend the functionality of Konvert the following modules are provided

• konvert-converter-api

  This module can be used to build your own TypeConverters to be used by Konvert during compilation. As Konvert is using SPI, you can build your own library and just include it into KSP classpath! (TODO: reference example)

• konvert-plugin-api

  This module can be used to build your own plugins for Konvert to amend the behaviour of the processor (e.g. to add annotations to the generated source code).

  The following plugins are already available:

  • Generate Anvil annotations (e.g. @Singleton) by using konvert-anvil-annotations and konvert-anvil-injector

  • Generate CDI annotations (e.g. @RequestScoped) by using konvert-cdi-annotations and konvert-cdi-injector

  • Generate Koin annotations (e.g. @Single) by using konvert-koin-annotations and konvert-koin-injector

  • Generate Spring annotations (e.g. @Component) by using konvert-spring-annotations and konvert-spring-injector
