ktfmt-gradle is a Gradle plugin that applies ktfmt formatting to Kotlin projects.
ktfmt is an opinionated code formatter for Kotlin. ktfmt-gradle integrates the formatter into Gradle builds so developers can check whether Kotlin source code follows the configured style, or automatically reformat code as part of their normal development workflow.
The plugin is useful for Kotlin projects that want reproducible formatting checks in local builds and continuous integration systems. It supports JVM, Android, JavaScript, and Kotlin Multiplatform projects, and can also format top-level Kotlin script files.
This is free and open source software.
