A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I've just tested out a very simple React app module.
Overall it feels good with typesafe HTML and CSS.

With 1.9.20-Beta2, I can't seem to get auto/live-reload to work with `jsBrowserDevelopmentRun` tho. Is this a known issue?

<@U33H6SB2B> with 1.9.10 I just use `gradle jsBrowserDevelopmentRun`. It seems Webpack handles reloading? I can see it printing stuff on the console.

With 1.9.20 it doesn't work anymore, and I'm forced to use `-t`

Although thinking about it now, Webpack can't really reload changes by itself.
It needs a kotlinc pass first, so the `-t` makes sense to be there always

<@U33H6SB2B> one thing the kotlin-wrappers readme doesn't mention is the various ways CSS can be used.
What I've seen is only "inline" CSS via DSL, but what if I want to include a `.css` or `module.css` file, to keep styles separate? Is that possible using kotlin-react?

It's possible via `import` function, but with zero IDE support

With <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers/blob/03698a2d4763290384c950cec378726f17a758bf/kotlin-js/src/jsMain/kotlin/js/import/import.kt#L5|this> one?
Zero IDE support seems what you'd have with a TS React project too, so no big deal

You can configure plugins, which will help you with class names autocomplete

That's something I can have a look at. Do you have a reference plugin in mind?
Shouldn't be hard to adapt it and offer autocompletion based on Kotlin PSI elements

PSI looks like redundant, you can generate `.kt` files with class names instead

Seems too elaborate to me. With an IJ plugin it is fairly straightforward to add reference resolution (and thus autocompletion)

Maybe with the new K2 compiler integration for IDEA, a compiler plugin to generate fields on the fly is a better idea tho

<@U33H6SB2B> another approach could be to have global/shared CSS styles in Kotlin code, with kotlin-css or kotlin-emotion. Would that be possible?
