API reference documentation is generated based on comments in the Kotlin code. Learn more about documenting the Kotlin code.
The Kotlin grammar reference is generated by the Kotlin grammar generator from the Kotlin grammar definition.

The Kotlin website uses Jinja2 templates from the templates directory.
Note that all Markdown files, except for docs, are processed as Jinja templates before HTML conversion.
This allows using all Jinja benefits for Markdown (for example, building URLs with the url_for
function).
You can contribute to the Kotlin website by sending us a pull request. You can also create a YouTrack issue to discuss your suggestion with the Kotlin team.
For the Kotlin documentation, follow these guidelines on style and formatting.
For other pages, follow the complete syntax reference at the kramdown site. You can also include metadata fields. Learn more about it in the Jekyll docs.
To add a Kotlin User Group (KUG), proceed the following way:
-
Open the configuration file user-groups.yml.
-
Find a suitable section among existing ones.
-
Add into the selected section a new group with the following keys:
name
, the name of the group.country
, the name of the country where the group is located. In the case of a virtual group, please use "International" for that.url
, the link to the group's web page.isVirtual
, set this key withtrue
value if the group is online only.position
, the geo-position of the group, defined by pair of keys:lat
andlng
. It better to runscripts/user_group
.
-
If the group is not virtual, you also need to specify a group's position. You can do it manually adding
position
key with thelat
andlng
values, as next:position: lat: 1.1111111 lng: 1.1111111
or, to run the geo script (
scripts/user_groups_geolocator.py
) that will do it for you. You need to obtain GOOGLE_API_KEY and then run the following script:$ GOOGLE_API_KEY="..." python scripts/universities_geolocator.py
You can find more details about
GOOGLE_API_KEY
param in this article by Google. The manual way sometimes is better, because it allows you to specify the position more precisely.
You can see the structure and types of the expected configuration in the JSON schema. Once you publish a pull request, the changes will be validated by GitHub Actions Workflow to prevent misconfiguration.
To add an event to the Community Events, do the following:
- Fill the event info in the events.yml with the next:
lang
, two-letter code considering ISO 639-1 format.startDate
, in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd'.endDate
, in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd'. For the on day event fill the same date as in the startDate.location
, in the form of 'City, Country'. You can omit it for an online event.online
, set this key withtrue
value in case of online event.speaker
, the speaker's name.title
, event's title.subject
, a title of a talk.url
, link to the event web page. You can see the structure and types of the expected configuration in the JSON schema.
- Publish the changes creating a pull request. The changes will be validated by GitHub Actions Workflow to prevent misconfiguration.
Currently, there is no way to deploy the Kotlin website locally. This ticket tracks the effort of adding support for local testing: KT-47049.
You can contribute to the Kotlin website by sending us a pull request.
You can:
- Report an issue to our issue tracker.
- Share feedback in the #kotlin-website channel in our Kotlin public Slack (get an invite).
- Email us at doc-feedback@kotlinlang.org.
# install frontend dependencies
yarn install
# at first start you need to build the static
yarn run next-build-static
# run NextJS server
yarn run next-dev
# run webpack dev server for everything else
yarn start
# install dependencies for the python server
pip install --no-build-isolation -r requirements.txt
# run python server
python3 kotlin_website.py
Now you can open the website at http://localhost:9000.
You can find all pages in the pages directory.
- Components. The building blocks.
- Blocks. Blocks are groups of components joined together to form a relatively complex, distinct section of an interface.
- Pages. Each page is associated with a route based on its file name.
Notice that using next/image
is not possible because Next.js does not support importing images to HTML files (SSG).
Use Img and Svg components from "next-optimized-images" instead.
We use Playwright for writing e2e and Screenshot tests. See https://playwright.dev/ for more details.
To run tests locally:
-
Install supported browsers:
npx playwright install
-
Start Dev Server.
yarn test
to run all tests in headless mode locally.yarn test:e2e
to run e2e tests locally, visual tests are also included.yarn test:e2e:skip-visual
to run e2e tests without visual tests locally.yarn test:production
to run the subset of e2e tests that are meant to check the production locally.
There are also additional options to run tests:
yarn run test:e2e:ci
oryarn test:production:ci
to run tests in CI environments.yarn test:e2e:headed
oryarn test:production:headed
to run tests in headed mode locally.yarn test:e2e:debug
oryarn test:production:debug
to run e2e tests in headed mode with debug locally.
To ease the process of adding and maintaining e2e tests:
yarn test:e2e:new
to generate the test for the user interactions.yarn test:e2e:update
to update screenshots when something on page has changed intentionally.
To write e2e test, create spec file /test/e2e/*your-page*.spec.js
.
Some e2e tests focus on preventing regressions in the WebHelp components used to build documentation in the /docs section of kotlinlang.org. To run these tests locally, follow the next steps:
- Create the
dist
folder in the project. - Open the last successful build of Reference Docs on TeamCity.
- Download the artifacts of this build and place them in the
dist
folder. - Run the tests locally with the following command
yarn run test:e2e
- Run the tests in docker container with the following command
docker compose -f docker-compose-e2e-statics.yml up --build --exit-code-from playwright
Some tests focus on protecting the HTML markup of API references from being corrupted by the KTL components in the Dokka template's extension. To run these tests locally, follow the next steps:
- Create the
libs
folder in the project. - Open the last successful build of each API reference on TeamCity.
- Download the artifacts of these builds and place them in the
libs
folder by their name, for example,kotlinx.coroutines
. - Up containers
./scripts/dokka/up.sh
. - Run test inside container
./scripts/dokka/run.sh
or on the host with one of the scripts below.
