Kotlin compiler server

A REST server for compiling and executing Kotlin code. The server provides the API for Kotlin Playground library.

How to start 🏁

Simple Spring Boot application

Download Kotlin dependencies and build an executor before starting the server:

$ ./gradlew build -x test

Start the Spring Boot project. The main class: com.compiler.server.CompilerApplication

From Docker Hub

View images on Docker Hub.

docker pull prendota/kotlin-compiler-server

From Amazon lambda

Based on aws-serverless-container.

$ ./gradlew buildLambda

Getting .zip file from build/distributions.

Lambda handler: com.compiler.server.lambdas.StreamLambdaHandler::handleRequest.

Publish your Lambda function: you can follow the instructions in AWS Lambda's documentation on how to package your function for deployment.

From Kotless

Add Kotless and remove aws-serverless-container =)

    }
  ]
}'

Get code completions for a specified place in code

    }
  ]
}'

Get the current Kotlin version

curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/versions

The server also supports an API for the Kotlin Playground library.

How to add your dependencies to kotlin compiler 📚

Just put whatever you need as dependencies to build.gradle.kts via a task called kotlinDependency:

 kotlinDependency "your dependency"

NOTE: If the library you're adding uses reflection, accesses the file system, or performs any other type of security-sensitive operations, don't forget to configure the executors.policy. Click here for more information about Java Security Policy.

How to set Java Security Policy in executors.policy

If you want to configure a custom dependency, use the marker @LIB_DIR@:

grant codeBase "file:%%LIB_DIR%%/junit-4.12.jar"{
  permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "setIO";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read";
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers";
};

CORS configuration

Set the environment variables

ENV	Default value
ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_ORIGIN_VALUE	*
ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_HEADER_VALUE	*

Kotlin release guide 🚀
