PipelineKt is a kotlin library that generates Jenkinsfiles in a flexible and familiar manner

Dynamic Declarative Jenkinsfile in Kotlin

pipelinekt is a kotlin library that improves the Jenkinsfile development experience, especially for large projects.

Why:

1. Remove several limitations imposed by the declarative syntax, for example:
   1. No longer need to statically define stages
      1. create stages in loops or by iterating over collections
   2. move any block of code into a separate function
   3. standard code sharing with actual classes
      1. no need to call load to dynamically interpret groovy scripts)
2. IDE integration
   1. native kotlin + gradle - no custom groovy compiler
   2. Code completion
   3. Auto complete
3. Configure sane defaults
   1. Shared steps before and after stages
   2. default pipeline configurations
   3. default post stage actions
