Mixin

This is an annotation processor to mix Java or Kotlin Classes up into a single Class.

This is also a sample of X Processing which is an abstract layer of apt and ksp.

Usage

The design of this project is very straightforward.

Suppose I have two api classes for User:

class UserApi {
    fun getName(id: Long): String = TODO()

    fun getAge(id: Long): Int = TODO()
}

public class GitHubUserApi {
    public String getGitHubUrl(long id) {
        throw new NotImplementedError();
    }

    public int getRepositoryCount(long id) {
        throw new NotImplementedError();
    }
}

and I want to combine them into a single class UserApis, I will annotate these two classes with @Mixin:

@Mixin("com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample", "UserApis")
class UserApi { 
    ... 
}

@Mixin(packageName = "com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample", name = "UserApis")
public class GitHubUserApi {
    ...
}

with apt or ksp, com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample.UserApis will be generated:

package com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample;

import com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample.library1.UserApi;
import com.bennyhuo.kotlin.mixin.sample.library2.GitHubUserApi;
import java.lang.String;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;

public class UserApis {
  private final UserApi userApi;

  private final GitHubUserApi gitHubUserApi;

  public UserApis() {
    userApi = new UserApi();
    gitHubUserApi = new GitHubUserApi();
  }

  public int getRepositoryCount(long id) {
    return gitHubUserApi.getRepositoryCount(id);
  }

  public String getGitHubUrl(long id) {
    return gitHubUserApi.getGitHubUrl(id);
  }

  @NotNull("")
  public String getName(long id) {
    return userApi.getName(id);
  }

  public int getAge(long id) {
    return userApi.getAge(id);
  }
}

That's it.

It is pretty useful in some cases.

For example, the JavaScript bridge for Android WebView. You may want to separate different bridge functions into different modules and add them to the WebView as one bridge object, so you have to write a wrapper class in the main module to assemble all the bridge functions. With this library, you can easily achieve that.

Set up your project

The basic settings is shown as below:

plugins {
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.6.0-1.0.1" // ksp
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt") // kapt
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    google() 
}

dependencies {
    ksp("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:mixin-compiler:1.6.0.1") // ksp
    kapt("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:mixin-compiler:1.6.0.1") // kapt
    implementation("com.bennyhuo.kotlin:mixin-annotations:1.6.0.1")
}

Multi-modules

If you want to mix class files from different modules, you should configure some of them as 'library' to generate index.

For example, we have

• an Api0.java in module a
• an Api1.kt in module b
• an ApiMain.kt in module main

and want to generate the mixed class Api.java into module main, we should add an argument mixin.library to module a and b in their build.gradle.kts files:

// for kapt
kapt {
    arguments {
        arg("mixin.library", "true")
    }
}

// for ksp
ksp {
    arg("mixin.library", "true")
}

The default value is false, so that mixed classes are generated by default.
