JVM Functions

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) runs applications compiled from languages like Java, Scala, or Kotlin. These languages can produce runnable .jar files.

The overall approach is the same for all JVM-based targets:

  • Create a new project (i.e. with Maven or SBT)
  • Add your library dependencies
  • Write a main method which calls the event API and executes the function logic in a loop
  • Assemble the project into a self-contained JAR, which is a JAR that includes all of the required dependencies
  • Upload the JAR file to Chainless

What you'll need​

  • JDK version 17 or above

Languages​

We provide documentation for the following languages, but as long as you can produce a self-contained JAR, it should work in other languages too.
