Krate ft. Moshi: a Kotlin library design case study

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Krate is a SharedPreferences wrapper that gets a Moshi-based addon implemented as delegates; code shows a working Krate SharedPreferences wrapper and a new Moshi adapter delegates class that serializes into prefs. The talk traces concrete fixes: replacing Gson type tokens with a Kotlin-based makeType, handling reified generics, debugging lists that returned LinkedTreeMap, and adding unit tests that initially fail for lists then pass after switching to Kotlin 1.4 java type support.
