About:
The Ktor CLI is a command-line tool designed to scaffold new Ktor projects quickly. It allows developers to generate application skeletons with selected features like templating engines, serialization, and authentication. This streamlines the setup process, enabling teams to focus on business logic rather than configuration.
Key Features:
  • Interactive project generation wizard
  • Support for Gradle and Maven build systems
  • Template selection for different Ktor features
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding a new microservice backend
  • Generating a REST API prototype with specific plugins
  • Setting up a development environment for Kotlin server applications
Alternatives:
  • Spring Initializr – Spring Initializr is for the Spring Boot ecosystem, whereas Ktor CLI is specifically for Ktor projects.
  • Quarkus Maven Plugin – Quarkus uses Maven/Gradle plugins for scaffolding, while Ktor provides a dedicated interactive CLI.
