ktlint-gradle-plugin is a Gradle plugin that runs ktlint checks and code formatting in Kotlin projects.
The plugin adds tasks to Gradle projects for checking and formatting Kotlin source code. It supports Kotlin JVM, Kotlin Multiplatform, Android, and Kotlin/JS projects, and works with both .kt and .kts files.
When a supported Kotlin Gradle plugin is used, ktlint-gradle-plugin adds tasks to format Kotlin code and report lint errors. The standard Gradle check task can depend on linting, helping teams enforce a consistent Kotlin code style as part of their build process.
This is free and open source software.
