Is jsBrowserDistribution the gradle task meant to be used to deploy compose web apps (js target, NOT wasm) in production?

asking in terms of minify/proguard etc (if there is such a thing for web yet)

Hi @Alex Styl yes it is, I just used it today to build the production distributable. It also runs Binaryen which is the WASM minification/optimisation equivalent.

FYI some more info on Binaryen: https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen

thanks for the reply. is there a way to have obfuscation on the build?

[Steyn Geldenhuys]

Well WASM is a binary format, so obfuscation isn't really applicable.

Just look at all of the files in the build/dist/wasmJs/productionExecutable folder, there is also a .mjs file for Skiko (in my case) which is a source mapping file. I'm not 100% sure if they are needed, but in my deployments I omitted them and everything worked well.

[Steyn Geldenhuys]

I guess the documentation for building a production WASM distributable needs to be improved a bit.

im not targeting wasmjs

Ah ok, I'm sorry for the red herring then - my bad somehow I missed that in your initial post.
