Doodle VS GraphQL Kotlin

https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/08/compose-multiplatf...

They don't really mention Wasm there as this mostly focuses on the IOS support. They had a lot of presentations about that at kotlin conf and the compose web channel in the kotlin slack is very active.

Basically, anyone currently doing mobile development that is used to modern UI frameworks for that, will soon be able to target browsers effortlessly without compromising on their UI frameworks. Compose is one of the frameworks. But there are others. I've seen some nice kotlin-js frameworks targeting canvas and vector graphics. Doodle is a nice example: https://nacular.github.io/doodle/. I have not used that yet but it looks quite slick. A lot of kotlin-js stuff will transition to wasm once the compiler stabilizes.

Web developers seem to be mostly unable to see beyond their comfort zone of DOM/CSS/JS. There are alternative ways of doing UI/UX that are common outside of browsers. Applying that in a browser is transitioning from impossible (a few years ago) to being hard but very feasible (the last few years) to being easy, very common, and widely supported across different developer ecosystems (the next few years). Not a matter of if but when.

New to Kotlin, but trying to create a project with Kotlin, GraphQL, and Postgres. I'm not opposed to using ktor, but was hoping to use spring boot. I liked expedia's GraphQL Kotlin but having a hard time finding tutorials that go over how to set up a project like this. I see that there are some examples here https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/tree/master/examples but wondering if there are any tutorials anyone could recommend

Their client framework officially supports ktor client https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/tree/master/clients/graphql-kotlin-ktor-client while their schema generator seems to be just framework-independent jvm library https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/tree/master/generator/graphql-kotlin-schema-generator And you could use their gradle plugin as described here https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/tree/master/plugins/graphql-kotlin-gradle-plugin which would make the whole thing a breeze I guess :)

GraphQL Kotlin consists of a number of libraries that aim to simplify the running of GraphQL servers and clients using Kotlin. It’s been over 10 months since the last major release of graphql-kotlin and after hundreds of commits and numerous pre-releases, we are pleased to announce the 4.0.0 release!
