Kotlin + Ktor codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Kotlin + Ktor + Kodein + Exposed including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the Kotlin + Ktor community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

The application was built with:

• Kotlin as programming language
• Ktor as web framework
• Kodein as dependency injection framework
• Jackson as data bind serialization/deserialization
• Java-jwt for JWT spec implementation
• HikariCP as datasource to abstract driver implementation
• H2 as database
• Exposed as Sql framework to persistence layer
• slugify

Tests:

• junit
• Unirest to call endpoints in tests

You need just JVM installed.

The server is configured to start on 8080.

Build:

./gradlew clean build

Start the server:

./gradlew run

In the project have the spec-api with the README and collections to execute backend tests specs realworld.

Execute tests and start the server:

./gradlew run & APIURL=http://localhost:8080 ./spec-api/run-api-tests.sh
