# PeopleInSpace

Minimal **Kotlin Multiplatform** project using Compose and SwiftUI.  Currently running on
* Android (Jetpack Compose)
* iOS (SwiftUI)
* watchOS (SwiftUI)
* macOS (SwiftUI)
* Desktop (Compose for Desktop)
* Web (Compose for Web)
* Web (Kotlin/JS + React Wrapper)
* JVM (small Ktor back end service + `Main.kt` in `common` module)

It makes use of [Open Notify PeopleInSpace API](http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/People-In-Space/) to show list of people currently in
space and also the position of the International Space Station (inspired by https://kousenit.org/2019/12/19/a-few-astronomical-examples-in-kotlin/)!  

The project is included as sample in the official [Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile docs](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mobile/samples.html#peopleinspace) and also the [Google Dev Library](https://devlibrary.withgoogle.com/products/android)

Note that this repository very much errs on the side of minimalism to help more clearly illustrate key moving parts of a Kotlin
Multiplatform project and also to hopefully help someone just starting to explore KMP to get up and running for first time (and is of course
primarily focussed on use of Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI).  If you're at stage of moving
beyond this then I'd definitely recommend checking out [KaMPKit](https://github.com/touchlab/KaMPKit) from Touchlab.
I also have the following samples that demonstrate the use of a variety of Kotlin Multiplatform libraries (and also use Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI).

### Building
You need to use Android Studio Canary version (**note: Java 11 is now the minimum version required**). Have tested with XCode v11 and v12.  When opening
iOS/watchOS/macOS projects remember to open `.xcworkspace` file (and not `.xcodeproj` one). To exercise (React based) web client run `./gradlew :web:browserDevelopmentRun`.
To run backend you can either run `./gradlew :backend:run` or run `Server.kt` directly from Android Studio.
After doing that you should then for example be able to open `http://localhost:9090/astros_local.json` in a browser.

**UPDATE**: now also works in stable version of Android Studio.


### Compose for Web client

The Compose for Web client resides in the `compose-web` module and can be run by
invoking `./gradlew :compose-web:jsBrowserDevelopmentRun`

### Compose for Desktop client

This client is available in `compose-desktop` module.  Note that you need to use appropriate version of JVM when running (works for example with Java 11)
