Hi all, I have a question regarding creating kotlin library. I want to wrap already created javascript library (available on npm) in a kotlin library and consume it in android native projects. How can i do so? please anyone help on this? Thank You

That is impossible.

Hi @efemoney, do you know any other way to achieve it?

You will have to add a JavaScript engine into your code. The other alternative, it depends on your requirements, is using a WebView, there is an API to call functions from kotlin/java to the JavaScript code running in the WebView. Take a look into the Cordova project. Back to the engine alternative, you can check https://github.com/cashapp/zipline, Check what they do.

@Pablichjenkov I will check the zipline and cordova github repos. Thank You

Those are big projects, for the case you plan to run a full JavaScript app or something of that magnitude. But again, for one single use library it would be easier just finding the kotlin equivalent of that library.

ok got it.

Or the java equivalent, which you could use from Kotlin

not any specific js lib

You could also, as long as the library isn't js-specific, try to rewrite the library in Kotlin. It's quite a difficult undertaking, but it could be easier if there's typescript definitions for the library already

@arunshaik432 I thought your question was about a library you wanted to use. Was it just a theoretical question without a concrete need?

i need it in one my contract work. they want me to build a kotlin wrapper on top of their crypto js library that kotlin lib will be used in android native projects. that is why i asked this question
