KotlinModule is Private.

[hell-storm2004]

We were trying to migrate our very very old Kotlin to the latest one, as a part of an application wide upgrade to move to everything new. But upgrading Kotlin has lead to a stumbling block. We are migrating from the old Kotlin 1.4.0 to 2.0.21 and the Jackson Kotlin module to 2.18.1. But this line of code is throwing an exception:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.KotlinModule
.
.
.
private val mapper = ObjectMapper().apply { registerModule(KotlinModule()) }

So I looked at the Usage section of the GitHub page, and I saw some guidelines. From what I understand the above code now becomes:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.registerKotlinModule
.
.
.
val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerKotlinModule()

Is my understanding correct? There are plenty of other issues, but this is a start.

val mapper = ObjectMapper().registerKotlinModule()

Yes, that is correct.
It is also possible to configure using builders within a lambda, for example, by using registerKotlinModule { }.

Direct calls to the primary constructor are prohibited except in reflection, since default arguments cause bytecode compatibility problems.
