SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the time and guesswork needed to set up a production-ready Ktor HTTP server by providing ready-to-adapt patterns for routing, plugins, authentication, DI, serialization, WebSockets, and integration testing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing DSL & Route Organization: Structure REST endpoints cleanly with route grouping and authenticated sub-routes.
  • Ktor Plugin Configuration: Apply consistent behaviors for JSON serialization, CORS, and centralized error handling via StatusPages.
  • Authentication & Testing: Integrate JWT authentication and validate behavior end-to-end using testApplication, including protected-route scenarios.
  • Koin DI Patterns: Wire services and repositories with Koin so routes stay thin and business logic remains testable.
  • WebSockets Support: Add real-time communication with WebSockets and safe connection broadcasting.

Quick Start

Use the kotlin-ktor-patterns skill to generate a Ktor application module that includes serialization, JWT authentication, StatusPages error handling, CORS, Koin-based DI, REST routing, and testApplication-based integration tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about kotlin-ktor-patterns

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure REST routing and organize routes in a Ktor server?▼

Ktor REST routing is structured using the routing DSL to group endpoints cleanly, supporting authenticated sub-routes and thin route declarations to keep business logic testable and maintainable.

What's the best way to configure JWT authentication and test protected routes in Ktor?▼

JWT authentication in Ktor is configured via authentication plugins, and protected routes are validated end-to-end using testApplication integration testing to verify token handling and access control.

How do I wire Koin dependency injection into Ktor routes?▼

Koin dependency injection is wired into Ktor by configuring modules for services and repositories, ensuring routes stay thin while keeping business logic independently testable outside the server framework.

Can I add WebSocket message broadcasting to a Ktor HTTP server?▼

WebSocket message broadcasting is supported in Ktor, allowing you to add real-time communication channels with safe connection management and message distribution across connected clients.

How do I set up Ktor plugins for JSON serialization, CORS, and error handling?▼

Ktor plugins are configured to apply consistent behaviors across the server, handling JSON serialization via kotlinx.serialization, CORS for cross-origin requests, and centralized error handling via StatusPages.
