Martok [WIP]

Glory to your schema!

Martok is built for one thing and one thing only: converting Typescript schemas into kotlinx.serialization schemas. It's the brutal and chaotic rival to Dukat.

It is still in the extremely early stages of development, and should not be used.

Why Kotlin? Why Typescript?

We're a huge believer in Kotlin Multiplatform for Mobile -- but also accept the increasing prevalence of Node on the backend. Martok creates a schema pipeline from your Typescript backend to your Kotlin data layer on Android & iOS.

Why Not QuickType?

QuickType has gotten quite old and difficult to develop. The PRs have mostly stagnated, we currently cannot find a way to successfully build the project, so we've moved on.

Installation

npm install -g martok

Usage

# Martok works with single files, directories, and always infers the right thing to do.
martok ./someFile.d.ts -o Schema.kt --package example
martok ./someDirectory -o BigSchema.kt
martok ./someDirectory -o ./outputDirectory # produce lots of little files.
martok ./someDirectory -o WithDates.kt --datePattern standard # [see Patterns.ts]
