I’m trying to output a typescript definition file ...

# javascript

[David Smith]

I’m trying to output a typescript definition file using MPP and the IR compiler, I have a simple data class in commonMain

@JsExport
data class Hello(val something: String)

and in my build.gradle.kts I have

js(IR) {
        browser {
            binaries.executable()
        }
    }

when I try to do gradle build or I can see that something is compiled however there is no build/js directory and I have no idea where this has been created

Try running the jsBrowserWebpack task instead

executables don't produce a d.ts file, library does.

[David Smith]

how do I configure it to produce a library

[hfhbd]

binaries.library()

[David Smith]

what is the gradle task to run that?

[David Smith]

just gradle build?

[David Smith]

jsBrowserProductionLibraryDistribution I guess

[David Smith]

ah, it’s produced stuff in the global gradle build directory (i.e. in my home directory, not in the project directory). How can I get it to produce the files in the project output (or some custom output directory)?

[David Smith]

distribution {
                directory = File("$projectDir/output/")
            }
