Hi everyone. I'm newbie in KotlinJs. I want to build a NodeJs Express using Kotlin. But I don't know how to do it. I created project using IntelliJ (New Project -> Kotlin Multiplatform -> Node.JS Application). What do I need to configure next to use npm express and create APIs.

First you need to add express npm dependency and optionally its types dependencies (if it doesn't ship .d.ts files with the main package). From there you can either try using dukat generated glue code or write your own external declarations

If you do end up writing your own external declarations, I've written up my experience with them here

Other than that, google and ask questions here as you come up with blockers. Community here is probably the best resource for getting started 😉
