Example

Custom types

# Assuming a Custom Type named URL using a String as the builtin.
[bindings.kotlin.custom_types.Url]
# Name of the type in the Kotlin code
type_name = "URL"
# Classes that need to be imported
imports = [ "java.net.URI", "java.net.URL" ]
# Functions to convert between strings and URLs
into_custom = "URI({}).toURL()"
from_custom = "{}.toString()"

External types

[bindings.kotlin.external_packages]
# This specifies that external types from the crate `rust-crate-name` will be referred by by the package `"kotlin.package.name`.
rust-crate-name = "kotlin.package.name"
