# Kotlin Bridge: Lyng-First Class Binding
This note describes the Lyng-first workflow where a class is declared in Lyng and Kotlin provides extern implementations.
## Overview
- Lyng code declares a class and marks members as `extern`.
- Kotlin binds implementations with `LyngClassBridge.bind(...)`.
- Binding must happen **before the first instance is created**.
- `bind(className, module, importManager)` requires `module` to resolve class names; use
`bind(moduleScope, className, ...)` or `bind(ObjClass, ...)` if you already have a scope/class.
- Kotlin can store two opaque payloads:
- `instance.data` (per instance)
- `classData` (per class)
## Lyng: declare extern members
```lyng
class Foo {
extern fun add(a: Int, b: Int): Int
extern val status: String
extern var count: Int
private extern fun secret(): Int
static extern fun ping(): Int
fun callAdd() = add(2, 3)
fun callSecret() = secret()
fun bump() { count = count + 1 }
}
```
## Kotlin: bind extern implementations
```kotlin
LyngClassBridge.bind(className = "Foo", module = "bridge.mod", importManager = im) {
classData = "OK"
init { _ ->
data = CounterState(0)
}
addFun("add") { _, _, args ->
val a = (args.list[0] as ObjInt).value
val b = (args.list[1] as ObjInt).value
ObjInt.of(a + b)
}
addVal("status") { _, _ -> ObjString(classData as String) }
addVar(
"count",
get = { _, instance ->
val st = (instance as ObjInstance).data as CounterState
ObjInt.of(st.count)
},
set = { _, instance, value ->
val st = (instance as ObjInstance).data as CounterState
st.count = (value as ObjInt).value
}
)
addFun("secret") { _, _, _ -> ObjInt.of(42) }
addFun("ping") { _, _, _ -> ObjInt.of(7) }
}
```
## Notes
- Visibility is respected by usual Lyng access rules; private extern members can be used only within class code.
- Use `init { scope -> ... }` for receiver-style init, or `initWithInstance { scope, instance -> ... }` for explicit instance access.
- `classData` and `instance.data` are Kotlin-only payloads and do not appear in Lyng reflection.
- Binding after the first instance of a class is created throws a `ScriptError`.
