Can we create a mapping of private members of TS/JS file in kotlin adaper file ?

[Big Chungus]

No, as those get obfuscated by the ts compiler. You should only refer to .d.ts files when writing external declarations.

I dont find the .d.ts here in the repository : https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web/blob/master/packages/mdc-textfield/component.ts 😕

[Big Chungus]

It's build output. Have a look at rootDir/build/js/node_modules/@material

[Rohan Maity]

ok, I have not build the library yet. I was hoping to do it directly from TS file available on Github

[Big Chungus]

You don't need to

[Big Chungus]

The path above refers to your gradle consumer project

[Big Chungus]

That's where npm dependencies are downloaded

https://npm.runkit.com/@material/textfield/component.d.ts?t=1643368383104

Did not get it

[Rohan Maity]

I am not able to see .d.ts file and you are saying I don't need to build it , but it's build output 😶

[Rohan Maity]

Ok so Runkit + npm runs the build and stores the .d.ts file ?

[Big Chungus]

Yes and no. MDC repo you're browsing on github, it the library source. It is NOT what's getting published to npmjs.org (where you're pulling them in from in gradle). npmjs.org receives prebuilt version of mdc library, which contains .d.ts files (mdc build output). Now when gradle pulls it in, it pulls it from npm, NOT github. Therefore, after running ./gradlew kotlinNpmInstall (which is a dependency of any kotlin.js task), you'll have the built version of MDC library downloaded and stored in ${projectRootDit}/build/js/node_modules/@material

[Big Chungus]

Have a look there and you'll find the d.ts files

[Big Chungus]

Runkit simply opens a browser sandbox based on the published version of the package (i.e. is oblivious that github source repository even exists)

[Rohan Maity]

Ok understood that explains well
