Hello,
In Kotlin/WasmJs, I've created a simple small function js wrapper:

fun jsLocalStorageGetItem(key: String): String =
    js("window.localStorage.getItem(key)")

If the key exist, no problem. If the key doesn't exist I have a NullPointerException on the browser console. I've try to add a String? as a return type

fun jsLocalStorageGetItem(key: String): String? =
    js("window.localStorage.getItem(key)")

But the compiler refuse this solution. Maybe I can get away with a try/catch (didn't try yet) but it seem odd to me we can't handle null value from calling js function...

Why the compiler refuses nullable return value for you? It works for me.

There is a warning in the IDE, I've already reported this some time ago: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-28239/Wasm-IDE-False-positive-Redundant-nullable-return-type-when-using-js-function-with-nullable-return-type
