# Balin
[](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
Balin is a browser automation library for Kotlin. It's basically a
Selenium-WebDriver wrapper inspired by Geb.
## Status: [Abandonware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware)❗
Since I wrote Balin a couple of years ago, I have not had the opportunity to
work under Kotlin's umbrella, much less use Balin itself. Thus, time has passed
and the library has gotten dust, cobwebs and the like. Be aware of the fact the
dependencies are already quite outdated and it's quite probable I'm not gonna be
around updating dependencies or fixing unit tests. You're more than welcome to
peek around and even use Balin, but there's no garantes of this library
keeping up-to-date for modern developing/use. Heck, even JCenter doesn't exist
anymore at this point.
## Rationale
Geb is a wonderful library that allows its users exploit the power of the
Selenium-WebDriver API with incredible ease. As a software developer who spends
a lot of time working with browser automation, I've been lucky enough to work
with Geb and am now learning Kotlin. I'm taking this chance to learn this new
JVM-based language and to contribute to its ecosystem a tool that's very useful
to me.
## Usage
If you're curious about how to use this library, you can check out the
[following examples](src/test/kotlin/com/github/epadronu/balin/examples)
### Templates
The [Balin-Cucumber-TestNg-Allure](https://github.com/EPadronU/Balin-Cucumber-TestNg-Allure)
template can be of help in order to avoid the boilerplate required for Balin's
integration with the most common frameworks used in software testing.
## Documentation
JavaDoc and KDoc versions of Balin's API documentation can be found in the
following locations:
- [Java API](https://epadronu.github.io/balin/java/api/index.html)
- [Kotlin API](https://epadronu.github.io/balin/kotlin/api/balin/index.html)
## Build system & framework integrations
### Maven
```xml
com.github.epadronu
balin
0.4.2
pom
```
### Gradle
```groovy
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.epadronu:balin:0.4.2'
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
```
## Note
This project has been conceived for research purposes but I don't dismiss the
possibility of making it a production-ready library if it gets to that point.
## License
Like Kotlin, _Balin_ is released under version 2.0 of the [Apache License](LICENSE.md).
