Kotlin Standard Library Cookbook

How to do it...

1. Declare data classes modeling the server response:

data class Response(@SerializedName("items")                                      val list: Collection<Repository>)data class Repository(val id: Long?,                      val name: String?,                      val description: String?,                      @SerializedName("full_name") val fullName:                       String?,                      @SerializedName("html_url") val url: String?,                      @SerializedName("stargazers_count") val stars:                       Long?)

2. Declare an interface modeling the GitHub endpoint usage:

interface GithubApi {    @GET("/search/repositories")    fun searchRepositories(@Query("q") searchQuery: String):    Deferred<Response>}

3. Instantiate the GithubApi interface using the Retrofit class:

val api: GithubApi = Retrofit.Builder()        .baseUrl("https://api.github.com/") .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()) ...
