Using Kotlin to Create Kotlin to Teach Kotlin within Space
summary
Automation turns a 30‑minute manual setup into per‑workshop provisioning in minutes by using the Space HTTP API with OAuth and a Kotlin-configured pipeline. Code includes a Kotlin DSL (Maurice) and a web client implementation (Spring WebFlux; uploader also lists Ktor HTTP Client), applies the visitor pattern to walk the DSL, and creates profiles, projects, blogs and student accounts automatically. It works end‑to‑end but Space’s EAP API changes and a reactive/nonreactive mismatch require occasional fixes; code is on Bitbucket.
