The answer is probably "no", but just to be sure: Is there something like Java's ServiceLoader for pure Kotlin, i.e. can be used in a multiplatform project?

[gildor]

No, but it should be pretty easy to write own service locator for your code

[diesieben07]

Is there a pure-kotlin resource-access mechanism? Something like Class.getResource?

[gildor]

Resources is Java specific API

[diesieben07]

Yes, I know that. Question is, what would I do on the JS side?

[gildor]

Depends on your use case. There is no default js way to do that

[diesieben07]

Ok, that was my question, thanks.

[gildor]

Also js can be client and server side with different API set in each case

[diesieben07]

Yeah, I know. I was hoping Kotlin would provide something here to embed resources into final build artifact (.js file).

[gildor]

Nope. But you can provide them using expect/actual methods and implement on each platform. Depends on resource type. Probably you want to download it on client side and bundle to resources on server side

[diesieben07]

Yeah. I'll have to do some experiments. Thanks!
