I'd like to get us onto IR soon so we can start giving more feedback, but our JS webapp relies on a separate file per module so it can serve each module only where it's needed.

I saw that KT-38136 is marked as fixed in 1.4.20, so I'm digging back into things, but I can't find info on how to get separate files per-module working 😔

In LEGACY, I was able to:
• create an umbrella module with dependencies on other modules, kotlin stdlib, and even serialization (these other modules also have their own interdependencies)
• configure browser.dceTask.dceOptions.outputDirectory to point to a specific folder
• run processDceKotlinJs
• check that specified directory for a separate, DCEd JS file for every dependency of the umbrella module (including a DCEd version of kotlin stdlib and serialization!)
What I've done so far in `IR`:
• added binaries.executable() to my umbrella module's JS config (and tried adding it to every dependency module)
• tagged whatever was previously relying on dceOptions.keep with @JsExport
• tried updating browser.distribution.directory to match dceOptions.outputDirectory
• ran browserDistribution (since processDceKotlinJs is missing)
I do get a single file for my umbrella repo that seems to include all of annotated contents of its dependencies

I still can't seem to get separate, DCEd JS file per module/dependency though.

Anyone else run into this or have any tips?

There's a new dsl for that in kotlin.js(IR). binaries.library()
