Hi, I have a project where I re-typed an entire TypeScript library to Kotlin/JS, but it's not executing the side-effects, like this :

import {Something} from './file';
import {Else} from './other';

Something.execute(Else.thing);

export {Something};

In my case the code Something.execute(Else.thing) will not be executed, and so it's making the library not working unless I execute this code by hand in Kotlin, is there a way to fix this ?

What's the implementation of execute in the Kotlin side ?

[Ayfri]

Just a static method, in my case it's this :

companion object {
	fun registerPlugin(plugin: IApplicationPlugin)
}

And the code not executed is for example (there are a lot) this

external fun require(module: dynamic): dynamic

fun main() {
  require("js/module/with/side/effects")
}

[Ayfri]

Like this ?

fun main() {
    require("js/node_modules/@pixi/app")
}

Or do I have to put the filename also ?

[Big Chungus]

No, llike this

fun main() {
    require("@pixi/app")
}

[Big Chungus]

Same as you'd require('@pixi/app') or import * as Shit from '@pixi/app' in js/ts

[Ayfri]

oh okay I see, I'll try then
