Im getting an error `Could not locate the bindings...

# javascript

Im getting an error Could not locate the bindings file when I am installing sqlite3 as a npm() dependnecy in build.gradle.kts:

implementation(npm("sqlite3",  "5.1.7"))

I think it has something to do with native bindings (C ?) . The library is this one

Any pointers on how to use it in kotlin /js ?

[Alex Styl]

I think it has something to do with how the library is installed via gradle.

if i do npm i sqlite3 I can use the module normally

there you go KT-80794

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

It may be related with disabled installation scripts. They are disabled by default in Kotlin Gradle plugin for security reasons.
So you have to enable install scripts if it is necessary for you

how do i do that?

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

Do you use yarn or npm?
You can try this
