I made a multiplatform library how can I ship it to js?

[Roman Artemev [JB]]

Hi. How did you get your MPP library? Is that a library built using MPP gradle plugin?

[Omar Ahmed]

Yes, using mpp gradle plugin

[Roman Artemev [JB]]

How do you want to ship js library? Into npm or just get a .js file?

[Roman Artemev [JB]]

To make long story short, you should make the following steps
1. Make sure your mpp library is supposed to be built for js
2. Make js target dependent on mpp library

[Sean Keane]

How do you publish it? @Roman Artemev [JB]

[Sean Keane]

Would it be possible to replicate the webpack config in this project to create a lib? https://github.com/kalcifer/webpack-library-example

[Roman Artemev [JB]]

@Sean Keane K/JS compiler produces js library from kotlin module. What kind of support do you need?

[Sean Keane]

Can you explain how I would publish it and where it is produced? I couldn't find anything in the doc's and had to write a script to make it create a npm module because of usability.

[Sean Keane]

Ok, so I went back to 1.3.70, the project was rebuilt with clear caches. I then get a new distributions folder. I ran npm publish with the set package.json. But when I run the code I instantly get

Uncaught TypeError: m is not a function
    at Object.l (WebSocketSession.kt:24)

[Eivind Nilsbakken]

I think it's only meant to be used as a gradle dependency for the JS target in a MPP project, ie. not as an npm dependency in a non-Kotlin Javascript project, if I understand this comment correctly: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B8L3U69/p1583234228116900?thread_ts=1583228562.114200&cid=C0B8L3U69
Eg. like the kotlin-stdlib-js library: https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter/org.jetbrains.kotlin%3Akotlin-stdlib-js

[Sean Keane]

I was able to bundle the kotlin-stdlib-js, and was hoping maybe webpack could bundle it post DCE and publish it via the webpack output

[Eivind Nilsbakken]

How did you manage that? The webpack output seems to use DCE-ed packages, so I guess that should work?

[Sean Keane]

if you check out the build/distribution folder in your common code it has everything bundled in one .js file.
doesn't seem to have done much DCE'ing though as its 1.5mb. Ill see if I can play with the webpack config

[Eivind Nilsbakken]

Oh, right. I was only looking at build/js/packages/.../webpack.config.js.

[Sean Keane]

Im going to use webpack to resolve all the dependencies and bundle from the DCE'd code. Ill let you know how it goes

[Omar Ahmed]

i just wanted to export the library as a .js file
but it depenends on kotlin.js

[Sean Keane]

We all have this issue unfortunatly. Im checking to see if I can use webpack to bundle kotlin.js together

[Omar Ahmed]

then i found gradle task that will export that kotlin.js file

[Omar Ahmed]

task assembleWeb(type: Sync) {


    configurations.compile.each { File file ->
        from(zipTree(file.absolutePath), {
            includeEmptyDirs = false
            include { fileTreeElement ->
                def path = fileTreeElement.path
                path.endsWith(".js") && (path.startsWith("META-INF/resources/") ||
                        !path.startsWith("META-INF/"))
            }
        })
    }
    from compileKotlin2Js.destinationDir
    into "${projectDir}/web"

    dependsOn classes
}

assemble.dependsOn assembleWeb

[Sean Keane]

This is not using the mutiplatform plugin unfortunatly

[Omar Ahmed]

yes you're correct 👍
we need to do it using multiplatform plugin

[Sean Keane]

I would like to see what you might come up with with multiplatform :)

[Omar Ahmed]

i ended up getting mylibrary.js from the multiplatform project and the kotlin.js file from other sample project i did using kotlin-js plugin

[Omar Ahmed]

and i included both files

<script src="js/libs/kotlin.js"></script>
<script src="js/libs/mylibrary.js"></script>
