NAPT
What is it?
An alternative to KAPT that skips stub generation and hence runs up to 50% faster
Usage
JDK 9+ is required to run this particular set of tools
Once applied, you cant reference generated code in Kotlin code anymore, so you'd have to write Java bridge
classes in order to reference Java generated code in Kotlin sources.
For example, assume we have following Kotlin Dagger 2 Component:
@Component
interface Component {
@Component.Factory
interface Factory {
fun create(): Component
}
}
then, in order to reference the generated component from Kotlin code we have to write Java bridge
that would look like this:
class ComponentBridge {
static Component.Factory factory() {
return DaggerComponent.factory();
}
}
That's it, now you can easily reference this bridge
from your Kotlin code wherever you'd like to

Download
- javac plugin is distributed through JitPack
- Gradle plugin is distributed through Gradle Plugin Portal
Add to the root build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
}
}
subprojects {
repositories {
maven { url("https://jitpack.io") }
}
}
Add plugin
Remove your old
plugins {
kotlin("kapt")
}
and replace it with
plugins {
id("com.sergei-lapin.napt") version("{latest-version}")
}
then you can replace all of your
dependencies {
kapt("some dependency")
}
with
dependencies {
annotationProcessor("some dependency")
}
That's it. Enjoy speed the speed up of your annotation processing by ~50%.
Ignore NaptTrigger
Add NaptTrigger.java
to root .gitignore
Conflitcting NaptTrigger classes
By default Gradle plugin will generate NaptTrigger with module-named package so the FQ names won't clash, but, just in case, the prefix of NaptTrigger package can be specified like that:
napt {
naptTriggerPackagePrefix.set("com.slapin.napt")
}
Assume we're in module named sample
, will result in the following NaptTrigger.java
:
package com.slapin.napt.sample;
class NaptTrigger {
}
