hi there
1) anyone try to avoid dce processing of polyfill file?
2) what is analogue of require('webexteision-polyfill') in kotlinjs?

[Big Chungus]

2. exactly the same. Kotlin stdlib-js has a require function

[Big Chungus]

1. Snippet from https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/javascript-dce.html

2) with implementation(kotlin("stdlib-js")) it import for me require(val: boolean) function that assert val and throw exception if false 🤔 not same as require some js module

[Big Chungus]

no, there's another one. IDE just throws you a wrong suggestion

[mp]

ok ll check

[Big Chungus]

import kotlinext.js.require

[mp]

I understand what do you mean - but this one is not in stdlib-js but in https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers/tree/master/kotlin-extensions (an it broke build in my case)

You can just write your own (it's a very simple function):

external fun require(module: String): dynamic = definedExternally

[Sam Garfinkel]

The = definedExternally might even be unecessary tbh

[Big Chungus]

= definedExternally is not needed here as it's a function. It's meant to be used for variables

[Sam Garfinkel]

@Big Chungus TIL

[Big Chungus]

TIL?

To avoid dce processing we declare npm dependencies in separate subproject.
ES6 npm dependencies also marked as external in webpack
