Konsist is a linter that guards the consistency of Kotlin projects by enforcing a cohesive code structure and unified architecture. Konsist guards are written in the form of unit tests (JUnit / Kotest).

Dependencies

Gradle Kotlin:

testImplementation("com.lemonappdev:konsist:0.17.3")

Gradle Groovy:

testImplementation "com.lemonappdev:konsist:0.17.3"

Maven:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.lemonappdev</groupId>
<artifactId>konsist</artifactId>
<version>0.17.3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Getting Started

To begin using Konsist in your project, consider these steps:

See Konsist Documentation to familiarize yourself with Konsist's features and usage guidelines.
Check Starter Projects to see Konsist in action.
Review Konsist API Reference to learn about the available API methods.

Examples

Konsist API reflects the structure of Kotlin code. All declarations such as classes, functions, and properties can be queried and verified with the Konsist API. Take a look at a few examples below.

General Kotlin Check

@Test
fun `classes with 'UseCase' suffix should reside in 'usecase' package`() {
    Konsist.scopeFromProject()
        .classes()
        .withNameEndingWith("UseCase")
        .assertTrue { it.resideInPackage("..usecase..") }
}

Android Specific Check

@Test
fun `classes extending 'ViewModel' should have 'ViewModel' suffix`() {
    Konsist.scopeFromProject()
        .classes()
        .withAllParentsOf(ViewModel::class)
        .assertTrue { it.name.endsWith("ViewModel") }
}

Spring Specific Check

@Test
fun `interfaces with 'Repository' annotation should have 'Repository' suffix`() {
    Konsist
        .scopeFromProject()
        .interfaces()
        .withAllAnnotationsOf(Repository::class)
        .assertTrue { it.hasNameEndingWith("Repository") }
}

Architecture Layers Check

Test that Presentation and Data layers depend on Domain layer and Domain layer don't have any dependencies from Presentation and Data layers.

%%{init: {'theme': 'forest'}}%%
flowchart
    Presentation[Presentation Layer] & Data[Data Layer] --> Domain[Domain Layer]

@Test
fun `clean architecture layers have correct dependencies`() {
    Konsist
        .scopeFromProduction()
        .assertArchitecture {
            // Define layers
            val domain = Layer("Domain", "com.myapp.domain..")
            val presentation = Layer("Presentation", "com.myapp.presentation..")
            val data = Layer("Data", "com.myapp.data..")

            // Define architecture assertions
            domain.dependsOnNothing()
            presentation.dependsOn(domain)
            data.dependsOn(domain)
        }
}
