Kotlin/Native support
Are there any plans to support Kotlin/Native?
It's not on the roadmap right now but we could consider it after implementing support for async java drivers.
@Tapac I really love this library and using with Ktor and Android. I am not sure how much effort it will take to make it compatible with Kotlin multiplatform but certainly, if you consider it to do sooner, it would certainly lead over SQLDelight.
Just imagine, if you are using the same library for server-side and your Android app and get support for multiplatform, how wonderful a dev life would be. :) Multiplatform already provides libraries for Coroutine, Http client, Serialization support and just missing this one piece for app side database.
And Thank you for all the wonderful work you and your team do. Appreciate!!!
@Tapac It's been a year now, I just wanted to ask if kotlin multiplatform support is on your roadmap now?
Well, a prototype of async support is coming to Exposed just now so my guess is that MPP support isn't coming any time soon.
@lbensaad , sorry, but I don't really have free time to dive into the native world. The problem is that I need to find the native drivers for each database and I'm not sure that there is a common interface such as JDBC in a native world.
It will be great if someone will try to contribute into the project in place of native support.
@Tapac For MMP sqlite is enough.
Just a note to say I came looking; interested in reusing some of my server-side Exposed Repository classes on the client across Android / iOS / Desktop (KMP). As @saied89 says, SQLite on iOS is the extend of the K/N support I'd be needing. Thanks for Exposed, it's a pleasurable API!
2 years have passed. I see this feature has appeared on your roadmap. It would be a good alternative to SqlDelight if it supports iOS
Is there any progress?
Hi
if Exposed support kotlin multiplatform (jvm, android, ios, wasm)
then we write one code for server and sqlite cache database in client.
it's will be very easy to develop.
please get help and idea from sqldelight
library.
Ktor 3.0 will support Kotlin Native.
It's time for Exposed to support Kotlin Native as well.
I faced exactly the same problem, while I was playing around with Ktor 3.0 (beta). Until now there isn't any mature database driver that target the Kotlin Native. Although, there quite a few projects that wrap a C driver, using FFI.
I did the same, I created a small driver, wrapping the sqlx
driver from the Rust ecosystem.
If you want take a look here: https://github.com/smyrgeorge/sqlx4k
Would really love to see Exposed for KMP. I much prefer it to room so I would use Exposed not only on server but in mobile apps too
