Now I'm confused, it looks like it isn't implemented yet? https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-client/ktor-client-js/js/src/Js.kt

Hi @Gunslingor, it's implemented as part of ktor-client-core, the dependency left for backward compatibility

Wonderful thanks for the info dude much appreciated... I actually realized that I might be confusing front end and backend as I lay out the architecture for this new giant project, I ended up creating multiplatform project with jsMain, jvmMain, commonMain. My goal is to write full stack in nothing but Kotlin, with asyncronous client requests to an API. Having issues, not a gradle expert and all this stuff is so new... ATM I can't get Ktor to serve up the Kotlin generated js file called distributions/fullstack-mpp-frontend.js... I can't make it work in the app or the original example either... this tech has so much potential but I need to start writing the real software soon! Thanks again, all input appreciated.

I feel almost as though I don't need multiplatform though... for example in ktor I could do

Copy code

class View : Template<HTML>

why can't I do

Copy code

class View : Template<JS>

why can't I transpile arbitrary code blocks to different platforms. should be a goal IMHO... still learning but really confused and not sure what I should be studying to learn more.

hmmm... looks like there is a template in intellij for the JS/JVM Kotlin that is exactly the same as the ktor-sample-mpp project but more upto date and runs! I suspect this will help me fix mine.
