Kotlin and KMP using IDX

General
1

Hello, I’m very pleased to greet you all.
My question is as follows: Gemini indicates to me that IDX is compatible with Kotlin when starting a new project and selecting the Kotlin template, which is not available on the web. Is there any way to “get ahead” on work for a KMP app using IDX?
If not, does anyone know if this feature is planned in the short term?

Best wishes.

I think there are no template for Kotlin because VSCode doesn’t really have a good Kotlin support (due to the lack of official kotlin language server), but if you really want to, add

pkgs.kotlin

to your dev.nix file, but you’ll have to try and find a good extension that add Kotlin support

I got something working. I’ll try this on android template later (edit: apologies, I have no idea how to create a Koltin android project without android studio, but you can probably generate one with android studio then upload it onto IDX, maybe)

  packages = [
    pkgs.kotlin
    pkgs.gradle
    pkgs.jdk # OR (maybe) pkgs.temurin-bin
  ];
  idx = {
    extensions = [
      "fwcd.kotlin"
    ];
}

thank you so much. I’m going to do tests starting from this point
