Hi folks 👋

I’ve recently started playing with Compose WASM and Ktor. I’m trying to use the generated wasm code (from a separate module) and sever it using Ktor. I want the root to serve the SPA created with compose and then have /api be served by the ktor app. I’m struggling to find a way to do this.
I’ve thought of two options:
• Copy the generated code, from Compose KMP, into the ktor module build folder and add it to the sourceset of the configuration. However, I’m not sure what Gradle task I should use to wire this up (I don’t have much experience with ktor)
• Alternative, I was thinking if it would be possible to launch both servers (the one generated by ktor and the one by compose) and use a supervisor server/container to route to one or the other.
Does any one have a good source regarding how to do something like this? 🙏

You could take a look at https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-samples/tree/main/fullstack-mpp, this describes the process for plain kotlin/js, but I think the difference should be minor.

Almost got it working. But apparently, the compose gradle plugin applies itself to all the targets. This includes the jvm frontend.

Adding the runtime to the backend seems to work, but I guess it’ll be improved in a future release 🤞
