Compose Multiplatform + http4k codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Compose Multiplatform and http4k including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the community styleguides & best practices of Compose Multiplatform and http4k.

For more information on how this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

How it works

The project is divided into 4 modules:

1. conduit-common - the shared code between the client and the server.
2. conduit-frontend - the KMP client source code.
3. conduit-backend - the server source code.
4. build-src - shared Gradle build logic, including the version catalog that is used globally across the project.

Develop

Install Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA, then:

• Frontend: Open the conduit-frontend directory in Android Studio.
• Backend: Open the conduit-backend directory in IntelliJ IDEA.

About Frontend

For frontend development, you need to follow this guide to set up the Compose Multiplatform development environment.

conduit-frontend declares all 4 platforms of JVM, Android, JS, and iOS. However, iOS is only declared in Gradle but not developed since I don't have a Mac machine.

conduit-frontend contains multiplatform tests that run on all 4 platforms. However, tests on the JS platform require a browser, so far useChromiumHeadless() is defined in kmp-library.gradle.kts, which means you need to install Chromium for running tests on the JS platform. If you already have a Chrome browser, feel free to change to useChromeHeadless()(or useFirefox() and others) for your convenience.
