Hello all, I am attempting to bring our existing Kotlin library to our JS project, I have searched through the history of this channel for "npm library" and i am able to produce a build/js output via ./gradlew build . i have tried to link the build/js folder via yarn link and i also tried to npm install it by adding the absolute path to the package.json of the js project. However i am getting the error Error: Can't resolve '@js-joda/core' in home/node/jsProject/node_modules/kotlinProject/kotlin . I think i am not installing the dependencies correctly in the build/js folder when i used ./gradlew build

[Richard Chao]

my build.gradle.kts has the following

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

to output the build/js

Do you use kotlix-datetime ?

I use

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

then inside my typescript project's package.json which has a relative path to the build directory:

"dependencies": {
   "tslib": "2.3.1",
   "uhtml": "2.8.0",
   "ca":  "../../build/js/packages/my-application-ca-server"
},

then inside my index.ts, I need to import com first before I can do anything

import {com} from "ca"

let blah = com.myapplication.Blah()

i imported the plug in id("dev.petuska.npm.publish") version "2.0.4" and i was able to build and get build/js/packages/kotlin-shared/kotlin/kotlin-shared.d.ts and build/js/packages/kotlin-shared/kotlin/kotlin-shared.js

i then added the file path to my package.json, but when i try to import it in my JS project, i get

Error: Cannot find module '@js-joda/core'
    at webpackMissingModule

[Richard Chao]

am i missing a npm install within the output package itself?

[Big Chungus]

Yes, you need a separate npm/yarn install

[Big Chungus]

Have another look at linked ts-consumer setup

thank you! I did a yarn install within the package and its working now ❤️
