Use Kotlin DSLs for Your Gradle Scripts

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Kotlin DSL for Gradle (production-ready since Gradle 5.0) is presented as a way to use Kotlin across builds and scripts. The demo migrates a small three-module Android project by renaming files to .gradle.kts, adjusting string/quote and map syntax, adding necessary parentheses/symbols, creating a buildSrc with versions.kt and deps.kt to centralize versions and dependencies, and notes real incompatibilities (task creation differences and the plugin block must list all plugin IDs), IDE autocomplete latency improvements, lack of an automatic migration tool, and advice to migrate gradually.
