kotlinx.html VS KorGE

1 Clone this repo https://github.com/tom-delalande/html-to-kotlin-converter and open in intellij 2 In the root of that project folder, create input.txt and add the component/html that you want to convert (feel free to pick a component from tailwind), run main in that project and it'll be converted to kotlin ktor html DSL in output.txt (basically, that's the readme of that project lol) 3 in your ktor project (make sure you already added ktor-html from kotlin team), respond to a route like so

As for the strange infix syntax, you're correct - it's not important (for Dart anyway). Kotlin supports writing code that have DSL like syntax making things like typesafe HTML or Jetpack Compose possible.

I'm not familiar with JavaEE/JSP so I cannot really answer that, why do these technologies need a special IDE? Does JSP even make sense with Kotlin? If I was stuck with JSP I'd probably use Java since that's what JSP was made for. Kotlin has other solutions like https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html

Html DSL in Kotlin. See it on Github.

If so, and if they don't provide an easy way to set a font family list, you may have to escape into a raw block: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html/wiki/Style-and-script-tags

You might like to leave a comment here, someone requested svg support in the Kotlin HTML dsl https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html/issues/144

Thanks for sharing, I really like projects like this. And the website is really informative.

I find it less of a new language and more of a JS preprocessor, removing lots of the cruft and integrating XML-tags and CSS in a very neat way.

What I miss:

1) I feel the web is shifting to more type checking. TS, Elm, Kotlin.js... I personally also prefer more typesafety, especially if the project grows in LOC/team size.

2) Compared to JSX, Imba does a much better job in integrating adjacent technologies. Though I much prefer these to be integrated in an eDSL fashion. For example how Elm does HTML templating (in Elm) or Kotlinx.html[1].

Just taste i guess. Good luck with yr project!

I do use kotlinx.html and while there is a lack of the documentation about the tags, most of them are already implemented (as far as I know they are automatically generated) and the ones that aren't automatically generated can be implemented manually in your own project.

Lua is easy to learn, dynamically typed and doesn't need to be compiled: it's perfect to get instant reload and it's perfect for small projects.

If you want to create games using Kotlin, you can try my 3D Game Engine: minigdx (https://github.com/minigdx/minigdx).

Or other game engine:

- https://littlekt.com/ (LittleKt (Little Kotlin) is a multiplatform 2D game framework written in Kotlin)

- https://korge.org/ (Korge - Modern Multiplatform Game Engine for Kotlin.)

- https://libgdx.com/ (LibGDX, it's for Java but you can use Kotlin, if you don't want to target the web platform)

- https://korge.org/ (Korge - Modern Multiplatform Game Engine for Kotlin.) - https://github.com/minigdx/minigdx (Minigdx - Minimalist Game Framework using Kotlin Multiplatform / I created it before creating Tiny) - https://libgdx.com/ (LibGDX, it's for Java but you can use Kotlin, if you don't want to target the web platform)

The new version of this Kotlin Multiplatform Game Engine https://korge.org/ (JS, JVM (Windows/Linux/Mac), Android, K/N(Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS)) along the korlibs (kds, kmem, klock, krypto, korma, korio, korim, korau, korgw, korge, korte) has been released.

there is actually a really nice library that might be what you're looking for: https://korge.org/
