Dagger 2 static provider methods in kotlin

Although I think zsmb13's solution is better, I found another solution which works

@Module
class AModule {
  @Module
  companion object {
    @JvmStatic
    @Provides
    fun providesA(): A = A()
  }

  // add other non-static provides here
}

However, note that there will be two generated classes: AModule_ProvidesAFactory and AModule_Companion_ProvidesAFactory rather than the one AModule_ProvidesAFactory class for the case with an object instead of a class with a companion object

I can't test it right now, but I think this should work:

@Module
object AModule {
    @JvmStatic
    @Provides
    fun providesA(): A = A()
}
