Static extension methods in Kotlin

Question

How do you define a static extension method in Kotlin? Is this even possible? I currently have an extension method as shown below.

public fun Uber.doMagic(co         


        

Answer 1

This is what the official documentation says:

Kotlin generates static methods for package-level functions. Kotlin can also generate static methods for functions defined in named objects or companion objects if you annotate those functions as @JvmStatic. For example:

Kotlin static methods

class C {
  companion object {
    @JvmStatic fun foo() {}
    fun bar() {}
  }
}

Now, foo() is static in Java, while bar() is not:

C.foo(); // works fine
C.bar(); // error: not a static method
