168: Learning Kotlin: Lambda Expressions Part 2

Download

In this episode, Donn continues his talks about Kotlin Lambda Expressions. He explains how you can use lambda expressions as function parameters and as return types for functions.

This is a very dense episode – if you get lost look at the code snippets below or view on them on fragmentedpodcast.com


class LogReader {
    fun processFile(file: File, processLine: (String) -> Unit = {}) {
        file.forEachLine {
            println("Number of Chars: ${it.length}")
            processLine(it)
            println("Line Done Processing")
        }
    }

    fun processFileWithHandlers(file: File, logHandler: LogHandler) {
        file.forEachLine {
            println("Start of Processing")
            logHandler.handleLine().forEach { handler -> handler(it) }
            println("Line Done Processing")
        }
    }
}

interface LogHandler {
    fun handleLine(): List<(String) -> Unit>
}


val reader = LogReader()
val textFile = File("/Users/donnfelker/scratch/lorem.txt")

// Process with single lambda
reader.processFile(textFile, { println("First 10 Chars: ${it.substring(0..9)}") })

val logHandler = object : LogHandler {
    override fun handleLine(): List<(String) -> Unit> {
        return listOf<(String) -> Unit>(
            { line -> println("${line.substring(0, 1)}") },
            { line -> println("${line.substring(2, 4)}") },
            { line -> println("${line.substring(5, 10)}") }
        )
    }
}

// Process with multipe handlers via the logHandler
reader.processFileWithHandlers(textFile, logHandler)

166: Cross platform development talk with Jesse Wilson

Download

Kaushik decides to hit record on a skype call he has with friend of the show Jesse Wilson. They start off by discussing building features across different platforms today. Jesse talks about a clever mechanism of using javascript to change logic on the fly across the Square cash app, that’s worked out pretty well. They then go on to discussing how one can try and converge across platforms in terms of business logic, architecture, naming etc. They then wind it down by discussing the state of Flutter, Kotlin multiplatform and reaching the promised land.

Enjoy.
