gradle where is "API" for kotlin dsl?

How I can write this code in kotlin dsl?

dependencies{
  api'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.25'
}

I can't find for what I need to change groovy "api" (in dependencies block) in kotlin dsl. For example I want to use org.slf4j, I want to declare it like API, but I checked migration docs and found analogies only for implementation, compile, etc. I use intellij idea.

I tried this:

plugins {
    id("java")
}

group = "com.myapp"
version = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    api("org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.36")
}

But is says: "Unresolved reference: api"

I checked this: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/migrating_from_groovy_to_kotlin_dsl.html https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html

Solution

  • The syntax should be api("org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.25").

    You need to use the java-library plugin instead of just java to have access to the “api” configuration, regardless of whether your script is in Groovy or Kotlin.
