Library support for Kotlin coroutines in Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/JS. This is a companion version for Kotlin 1.2.21 release.

launch {
    delay(1000)
    println("Hello from Kotlin Coroutines!")
}

• common — common coroutines across all backends:
  • launch and async coroutine builders;
  • Job and Deferred light-weight future with cancellation support;
  • delay and yield top-level suspending functions.
• js — Kotlin/JS implementation of common coroutines with Promise support.
• core — Kotlin/JVM implementation of common coroutines with additional features:
  • CommonPool coroutine context (default on JVM);
  • Channel and Mutex communication and synchronization primitives;
  • produce and actor coroutine builders;
  • select expression support and more.
• reactive — modules that provide builders and iteration support for various reactive streams libraries:
  • Reactive Streams, RxJava 1.x and 2.x and Project Reactor.
• ui — modules that provide coroutine dispatchers for various single-threaded UI libraries:
  • Android, JavaFX, and Swing.
• integration — modules that provide integration with various asynchronous callback- and future-based libraries.
  • JDK8 CompletableFuture, Guava ListenableFuture, and synchronous networking/IO.

• Presentations and videos:
  • Introduction to Coroutines (Roman Elizarov at KotlinConf 2017, slides)
  • Deep dive into Coroutines (Roman Elizarov at KotlinConf 2017, slides)
• Guides and manuals:
  • Guide to kotlinx.coroutines by example (read it first)
  • Guide to UI programming with coroutines
  • Guide to reactive streams with coroutines
• Change log for kotlinx.coroutines
• Coroutines design document (KEEP)
• Full kotlinx.coroutines API reference

Note that these libraries are experimental and are subject to change.

The libraries are published to kotlinx bintray repository, linked to JCenter and pushed to Maven Central.

Add dependencies (you can also add other modules that you need):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlinx</groupId>
    <artifactId>kotlinx-coroutines-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.22.5</version>
</dependency>

And make sure that you use the latest Kotlin version:

<properties>
    <kotlin.version>1.2.21</kotlin.version>
</properties>

Add dependencies (you can also add other modules that you need):

compile 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:0.22.5'

And make sure that you use the latest Kotlin version:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.21'
}

Use org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-js:<version> artifact in your Gradle/Maven dependencies or install kotlinx-coroutines-core package via NPM.

In obfuscated code, fields with different types can have the same names, and AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater may be unable to find the correct ones. To avoid field overloading by type during obfuscation, add this to your config:

-keepclassmembernames class kotlinx.** {
    volatile <fields>;
}

All development (both new features and bug fixes) is performed in develop branch. This way master sources always contain sources of the most recently released version. Please send PRs with bug fixes to develop branch Fixes to documentation in markdown files are an exception to this rule. They are updated directly in master.

The develop branch is pushed to master during release.
