kts

Kotlin script runner.

Enables Kotlin scripts to be invoked with external maven dependencies and no prior software requirements (except for a JRE).

JFrog artifactory

Artifacts are available through JFrog artifactory.

repositories {
    maven { url "https://ais.jfrog.io/artifactory/ais-gradle-dev-local/"} // SNAPSHOTS
    maven { url "https://ais.jfrog.io/artifactory/ais-gradle-release-local/"} // STABLE
}

dependencies {
    implementation "info.laht.kts:host:$version"
}

Example

The following script named example.kts can be invoked by directly invoking ./example.kts in a shell.

#!kts

@file:DependsOn("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6")

import com.google.gson.Gson

println(Gson())

Alternatively, invoke ./kts example.kts.

Custom repositories

Custom repositories may be added like so:

@file:Repository("https://some.repo.com/maven")

mavenCentral is available by default.

Building

The Command Line Application kts can be built by invoking ./gradlew installDist

NOTE

You might want to use kotlin-main-kts >= 1.4.0 instead of this if you don't need transitive dependencies. It provides autocompletion in IntelliJ and script caching. Adding kotlin from the Kotlin compiler distribution is just as easy as downloading kts.
