FAQ
What is klibs.io?
Klibs.io is a search platform for KMP projects and packages. The website uses ai-generated metadata to enhance search results, and aims to make it easy to evaluate packages by providing KPM related info.
The website was created by Ignat Beresnev and the Kotlin web team. Join #klibs-io on Slack to follow updates!
How do I add a project?
Projects are added automatically within one month (it is a frequency of maven central public index update) if they meet the following criteria:
- The project is open source and is available on GitHub.
- At least one artifact is published to Maven Central.
- At least one artifact is multiplatform must have kotlin-tooling-metadata.json.
- At least one artifact's POM contains a valid link to the GitHub repository, either under "url" or "scm.url" example.
If your project is already presented in the klibs.io, then new versions should appear the next day after they are published to Maven Central.
If you believe your project satisfies all criteria, yet it's still not available, or new versions are not appearing, please submit an issue.
Will GitLab/Bitbucket be indexed?
GitLab and Bitbucket should be supported at some point, but for now we want to focus on validating our ideas and iterating quickly. Adding support for GitLab and Bitbucket would slow us down, while not giving much in return, as 95% of KMP projects already use GitHub.
Will Gradle plugins be indexed?
Gradle Plugins should be indexed at some point as they provide a lot of value to Kotlin Multiplatform projects and libraries. They will likely have a separate category like "Tools".
What about Java/JVM-only packages?
We would like to add them in the future.
