# Kotlin

Kotlin is a predefined target language since Telosys **version 4.1.0**

To define **Kotlin** as the **target language** in a template file :

```
#set( $env.language = 'Kotlin' )
```

A "**?**" is automatically added to the end of the type if the attribute is "**nullable**" (no "@NotNull" annotation). To disable this behavior: 

```
#set( $env.typeWithNullableMark = false )
```

The information below shows the behavior of the generator when Kotlin is the current target language. For a detailed description of type conversion, see the generated documentation : \
<https://www.telosys.org/doc/latest/languages/language-kotlin.html>&#x20;

## Types conversion&#x20;

The table below describes how model **neutral types** are automatically converted to **Kotlin types** with potential impact due to attribute annotations.

The table below describes how model neutral types are automatically converted to C# types with potential impact due to attribute annotations.

### Annotations effects

* **@UnsignedType** \
  has effect only for **byte**, **short**, **int**, **long**
* **@ObjectType** \
  no effect
* **@NotNull** \
  type not nullable => no "?" at the end of the type
* **@PrimitiveType** \
  no effect

## Literal values

#### TRUE, FALSE, NULL

|       | Kotlin literal |
| ----- | -------------- |
| TRUE  | **true**       |
| FALSE | **false**      |
| NULL  | **null**       |
