Is there any way to force a specific version of npm dependency globally? If I specify the version explicitly in gradle it's being used inside a "local" node_modules, but I need to force this in "project" `node_modules' (built/js/node_modules).

Which dependency?

[Robert Jaros]

I think I need to be able to add custom resolution field to the package.json generated by Kotlin/JS. Is it possible?

Like this: https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/selective-version-resolutions/

How can I do this?

You can modify package.json manually
Example

There are two package.json files generated by the build process. This generated by packageJson task and the second one, generated by kotlinNpmInstall task. The second one is used by Yarn and resolutions field need to be placed in there. But there is no single task to bind modification function. It seems this package.json is generated and used in a single gradle task and I don't see any way to modify it before Yarn is called. Any ideas?

If anyone is ever interested, I've managed to resolve this problem with this: https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples/blob/d9dd3c69b1b9067c1111cc3183a80e7ddb452e35/template/build.gradle.kts#L118-L129

"risky" is a tag name for all Kotlin/JS ;-)
