# KVision
Object oriented web framework for Kotlin/JS.

KVision allows you to build modern web applications with the [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org) language,
without any use of HTML, CSS or JavaScript. It gives you a rich hierarchy of ready to use GUI components,
which can be used as builder blocks for the application UI.
KVision fully supports both reactive and imperative programming models. It gives you everything you may need for the state management of your apps.
KVision contains innovative connectivity interface for [Ktor](https://ktor.io/), [Jooby](https://jooby.io), [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot),
[Javalin](https://javalin.io), [Vert.x](https://vertx.io) and [Micronaut](https://micronaut.io) frameworks on the server side, which
allows to build fullstack applications with shared code for data model and business logic.
KVision is being actively developed. Please create an issue for any bugs or feature requests.
## Sample code
```kotlin
class App : Application() {
val state = ObservableValue("Hello world")
override fun start() {
root("root") {
vPanel {
h1(state) {
+it
}
button("Add an exclamation mark").onClick {
state.value += "!"
}
}
}
}
}
```

## Examples and documentation
Ready to explore, rich set of [KVision examples](https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples) is available in the separate project.
See also the complete frontend implementation of [RealWorld example application](https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-realworld-example-app) and a [fullstack version](https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-realworld-example-app-fullstack) built with Spring Webflux and R2DBC.
The comprehensive [KVision guide](https://kvision.gitbook.io/kvision-guide/) is published on GitBook.
The API documentation, generated with new Dokka, is available at [https://rjaros.github.io/kvision/index.html](https://rjaros.github.io/kvision/index.html).
You can also look at [KVision blog posts at dev.to](https://dev.to/t/kvision/latest) and you can talk with KVision
users and developers on Kotlin Slack [#kvision](https://kotlinlang.slack.com/messages/kvision/) channel and on the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/SdsN3arN2w).
## Quickstart
#### Development
1. Download [KVision examples](https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples) from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples.git
2. Enter one of the examples directory:
cd kvision-examples/showcase (on Linux)
cd kvision-examples\showcase (on Windows)
3. Run Gradle incremental build with:
./gradlew -t run (on Linux)
gradlew.bat -t run (on Windows)
4. Open [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) in your browser.
5. Play with the code and see your changes immediately in the browser.
#### Production
To build complete application optimized for production run:
./gradlew zip (on Linux)
gradlew.bat zip (on Windows)
Application package will be saved as build/libs/showcase-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.
