Hi all, How do I call a Kotlin-Function from JavaS...

# javascript

Hi all,
How do I call a Kotlin-Function from JavaScript when the @JsExport-annotated function is located in a different module? Within the same module, I would use js("myModule.myFuntion();") which works fine but calling js("myOtherModule.myOtherFunction();") fails since JavaScript fails to resolve myOtherModule
Is there a Gradle configuration or anything else I can do to access myOtherModule from JS when running myModule?

Why calling a @JsExport method with js(String) if you can call it directly from Kotlin? (I mean you're loosing strong typing, rename tools may not detect calls from strings, you may generate method for nothing if not use from js, you're not declaring explicitly your dependencies, ...)

Hi @Grégory Lureau, thanks for your answer! Due to our company project setup, I need to make the js(String) call from Kotlin and cannot make a direct call 😞

I suppose you can open the generated js file of the other module and check what/how it's exported. (I don't want to say it's a weird setup... but I think it is.)

I totally agree that the setup is questionable but unfortunately, I'm not the one to change it. The compiler packs all the stuff in one js file, so in my opinion, the @JsExport functions from myOtherModule should be available as if they where in the compiled module myModule which fails as well
