  • Ktor Patterns: Covers essential patterns such as routing DSL, plugins, authentication, dependency injection with Koin, serialization, and WebSockets.
  • Application Structure: Provides a standard project layout for Ktor applications and outlines the components for routing, serialization, authentication, and more.
  • Testing: Includes guidelines for integration testing with testApplication.

Quick Start

To activate the Kotlin Ktor Patterns skill, start by importing the module and configuring your routes, authentication, and dependency injection.

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 a scalable Ktor HTTP server with routing and authentication?▼

To structure a scalable Ktor HTTP server, use the routing DSL for endpoints, configure authentication plugins, and apply dependency injection with Koin to maintain modular and maintainable services.

Does Ktor work with Koin for dependency injection in Kotlin coroutines?▼

Yes, Ktor works with Koin for dependency injection in Kotlin coroutines. This Skill provides patterns to integrate Koin, enabling you to manage serialization and asynchronous components effectively.

What's the best way to write integration tests for a Ktor HTTP server?▼

The best way to write integration tests for a Ktor HTTP server is by using the built-in testApplication function. This Skill includes guidelines for configuring tests to validate routing and plugin behavior.

How do I configure WebSockets and serialization in a Kotlin Ktor application?▼

To configure WebSockets and serialization in a Kotlin Ktor application, install the respective plugins and use kotlin-serialization. This Skill covers implementing these patterns for real-time communication.

When should I choose between ktor-server-netty and ktor-server-cio?▼

Choose between ktor-server-netty and ktor-server-cio based on your scalability needs. This Skill provides configuration guidance for both engines to help you deploy robust HTTP servers.

Why use Ktor for building HTTP servers in Kotlin instead of other frameworks?▼

Use Ktor for building HTTP servers in Kotlin to leverage native coroutines for asynchronous processing. This Skill provides standard project layouts and patterns for scalable, maintainable services.
