SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers need to extract cross-cutting concerns into reusable, shareable plugins that work across server and client sides of Ktor apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and install application and route-scoped plugins with createApplicationPlugin and createRouteScopedPlugin
  • Compose plugins by installing other plugins within a plugin for modular architectures
  • Configure plugins with a public, top-level config class and read config once during installation
  • Support both modern and legacy plugin APIs for broad compatibility and migration

Quick Start

Install the plugin inside your Ktor application using install(MyPlugin) and configure it to enable its behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable Ktor plugins for server and client?▼

Create reusable Ktor plugins by using the modern application plugin API like createApplicationPlugin and createClientPlugin to encapsulate cross-cutting concerns such as auth, tracing, and metrics for both server and client sides.

What is the best way to configure a Ktor plugin during installation?▼

Configure a Ktor plugin by defining a public, top-level configuration class. Read the configuration once during the installation phase via application.install(MyPlugin) to enable the desired plugin behavior.

Can I compose multiple Ktor plugins together for modular architectures?▼

Yes, you can compose Ktor plugins by installing other plugins within a custom plugin. This approach supports modular architectures and allows you to build complex, reusable behaviors across your Ktor-based applications effectively.

Does this approach support both modern and legacy Ktor plugin pipelines?▼

Yes, this approach supports both modern application plugin APIs and legacy plugin pipelines. This broad compatibility ensures smooth migration and allows you to maintain older Ktor applications while adopting new modular cross-cutting concerns.

How do I create route-scoped plugins for custom route behavior in Ktor?▼

You create route-scoped plugins for custom route behavior by using the createRouteScopedPlugin API. This allows you to apply specific plugin logic and modularized cross-cutting concerns directly to selected routes within your Ktor server application.
