Is it possible to package resources inside a Kotlin/JS library, making them accessible to dependents? I'm not having much luck finding docs on the subject.

[Big Chungus]

They're packaged into klib automatically

[Big Chungus]

To expose them to your consumer you need to leave some kt breadcrumbs

Given src/jsMain/resources/my.css

Leave this in your kt sources

@JsModule("my.css")
external val myCSS: dynamic

[Etienne]

oh! nice I'll try that out, thank you!

[Etienne]

yeah not having much luck so far, but I'll keep trying.

@Big Chungus I'm trying follow your advice but it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm probably doing something wrong.

Original suggestion didn't work at all. I made progress with

@JsModule("./asset/css/my.css")
external val cssFile: dynamic

but it looks like kotlin is trying to parse CSS file as I'm getting

Module parse failed: Unexpected character '@' (3:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See <https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders>

I made more progress with @file:JsModule("./asset/css/mycss.css") in empty file but still it is not perfect.

You need to enable css support in kotlin gradle plugin

[Big Chungus]

should be in kotlin.js().browser {} block

[Tomáš Hubálek]

Ok, thanks. I'll look at it. Is it something like

browser {
       runTask {
           devServer = KotlinWebpackConfig.DevServer(
               ...
           )
       }
    }

?

[Big Chungus]

No, there should be explicit flag for it.

[Tomáš Hubálek]

OK, I'll look.

cssSupport.enabled = true

[Tomáš Hubálek]

Great. Thanks a lot for your help.

[Big Chungus]

Tbh I wish it would be enabled by default. It doesn't hurt even if you don't use css...
