I started a new project in IntelliJ - "multiplatform full stack web application". By default, it has a ktor route static("/static") { resources() } , which serves the compiled JS. Problem is: it serves all resources! Insecure, no? How do I change the gradle file to copy the compiled JS into a subdir? (More in thread)

In the ktor/kotlin code, this is easy. I can say: resources("web") and it will only serve resources starting with "web/". But Gradle is opaque to me, and I don't know how to change it to put the JS output there. Maybe there is another way to filter what resources(...) will serve up. I don't want to expose things like application.conf .

To put JS file into web package inside the JAR you can replace the line from(File(webpackTask.destinationDirectory, webpackTask.outputFileName)) in the build.gradle.kts file with the following lines:

into("web") {
    from(File(webpackTask.destinationDirectory, webpackTask.outputFileName))
}

In my new project, that line is not present in build.gradle.kts. After the kotlin { ... } block, there are only two "tasks":

tasks.named<Copy>("jvmProcessResources") {
    val jsBrowserDistribution = tasks.named("jsBrowserDistribution")
    from(jsBrowserDistribution)
}

tasks.named<JavaExec>("run") {
    dependsOn(tasks.named<Jar>("jvmJar"))
    classpath(tasks.named<Jar>("jvmJar"))
}

Then try to replace from(jsBrowserDistribution) with the following lines:

into("web") {
    from(jsBrowserDistribution)
}
