Kotlin DSL Gradle files, multiple modules and shared variables
This doesn’t want to be a real article, but more a crash course about Kotlin DSL for Gradle. The crucial point is the possibility of migrating an existing project to the new Kotlin DSL for Gradle, in an incremental, modularized fashion.
