libkswing

KSwing is a Kotlin library for the Java Swing toolkit, inspired by Kotlin Compose and SwiftUI.

val pizzasOrdered = KNonnullState(1)
KGroupPanel {
	KFlowPanel(addConstraints = BorderLayout.CENTER) {
		KHGlue()
		KLabel {
			pizzasOrdered.use {
				text = "$it pizzas will be ordered"
			}
		}
	}
	KFlowPanel(addConstraints = BorderLayout.PAGE_END) {
		KButton("Add another").kActionListener { pizzasOrdered.value++ }
	}
}

See the GitHub wiki for a tutorial.

Examples

There are currently three examples:

A simple recreation of a JDialog using either GridBagLayout or GroupLayout,

A simple reminders app that lets you add/remove, check off and set the time of your reminders,

And a silly vessel creator.

These are located in the example directory and use FlatLaf as their look and feel. They're also available as a runnable jar on GitHub releases!

Licensing

The library and the examples are under a very liberal BSD-2 clause license. See the LICENSE file for more.
