has anyone used requirejs optimizer r.js to bundle the kotlinjs output into a single file ?
ideally without the need to setup node or npm in the project

[[JB] Shagen]

any reason behind choosing r.js instead of webpack?

[Nikky]

i am not sure, can webpack compress it all into a single file without any need for amd module loaders ?

[Nikky]

if so.. got any sample project with that setup in gradle(.kts) ?

[Nikky]

and i guess i would like to not have to setup a npm projet and run npm webpack, thats why i am looking for a solution that works via commandline
so i can just make a gradle exec {} with the kotlinjs output passed to that cli program

NikkyAi, yes, it can compress it into a single file.
Yes, it can be without amd module loaders -- Choose UMD or Plain.

Kotlin really needs better examples of webpack and npm. The best I've found is here:

And here is the youtrack ticket for JetBrain's progress on documentation:

And I should mention that if you get it working it doesn't require a separate setup of node, it works through Gradle (and therefore command line) which handles node.
