KotlinGenerator

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

jOOQ can generate Kotlin code instead of Java code, which allows for leveraging a few kotlin language features also in generated code.

In order to use the KotlinGenerator, simply place the following class reference into your code generation configuration:

XML (standalone and maven)
Programmatic
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)
Gradle (third party)
<configuration>
  <generator>
    <name>org.jooq.codegen.KotlinGenerator</name>
  </generator>
</configuration>

See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.

new org.jooq.meta.jaxb.Configuration()
  .withGenerator(new Generator()
    .withName("org.jooq.codegen.KotlinGenerator")
  )

See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.

// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
generationTool {
  generator {
    name = "org.jooq.codegen.KotlinGenerator"
  }
}

See the configuration XSD and gradle code generation for more details.

Most of the code generation configuration remains the same for as long as it's independent of the generation language. But there are a few kotlin specific configuration flags, which are documented below:

XML (standalone and maven)
Programmatic
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)
Gradle (third party)
<configuration>
  <generator>
    <generate>

      <!-- Tell the KotlinGenerator to generate properties in addition to methods for these paths. Default is true. -->
      <implicitJoinPathsAsKotlinProperties>true</implicitJoinPathsAsKotlinProperties>
      <!--  Workaround for Kotlin generating setX() setters instead of setIsX() in byte code for mutable properties called
            <code>isX</code>. Default is true. -->
      <kotlinSetterJvmNameAnnotationsOnIsPrefix>true</kotlinSetterJvmNameAnnotationsOnIsPrefix>
      <!-- Generate POJOs as data classes, when using the KotlinGenerator. Default is true. -->
      <pojosAsKotlinDataClasses>true</pojosAsKotlinDataClasses>

      
      
    </generate>
  </generator>
</configuration>

See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.

new org.jooq.meta.jaxb.Configuration()
  .withGenerator(
    new Generate()

      // Tell the KotlinGenerator to generate properties in addition to methods for these paths. Default is true.
      .withImplicitJoinPathsAsKotlinProperties(true)

      // Workaround for Kotlin generating setX() setters instead of setIsX() in byte code for mutable properties called
      // <code>isX</code>. Default is true.
      .withKotlinSetterJvmNameAnnotationsOnIsPrefix(true)

      // Generate POJOs as data classes, when using the KotlinGenerator. Default is true.
      .withPojosAsKotlinDataClasses(true)
  )

See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.

// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
generationTool {
  generator {
    generate {

      // Tell the KotlinGenerator to generate properties in addition to methods for these paths. Default is true.
      implicitJoinPathsAsKotlinProperties = true

      // Workaround for Kotlin generating setX() setters instead of setIsX() in byte code for mutable properties called
      // <code>isX</code>. Default is true.
      kotlinSetterJvmNameAnnotationsOnIsPrefix = true

      // Generate POJOs as data classes, when using the KotlinGenerator. Default is true.
      pojosAsKotlinDataClasses = true
    }
  }
