hello, was looking for pointers in creating kotlin wrappers for npm libraries. Any guidance in this direction is appreciated!

thanks.. are. there. ways to automatically create the wrapper code?

[Robert Jaros]

There is https://github.com/Kotlin/dukat

[Robert Jaros]

But it doesn't work reliably and looks like not maintained anymore.

see: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-42290/Improve-Dukat-support

[Yogeshvu]

how are the kotlin-wrappers in the kotlin-wrapper library generated? There seems to be instances of autocode generation in there?https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers

Perhaps @turansky can answer your question.

In Kotlin Wrappers we use Karakum

You can find plugins in karakum subfolder.

Now it's JS-code. Migration on Kotlin - under discussion.

thanks, I am able to generate the kotlin wrapper using karakum, however the generated code does not compile. Error inclues it gives unresolved references to “Promise”, “js.Core”..

[turansky]

Looks like you missed dependency on kotlin-js from Kotlin Wrappers

[turansky]

On this one

[Yogeshvu]

thanks, yes was. missing that dependency
