Is there an effective way to include a *local* npm dependency in a gradle build?

What does you mean by `local` npm dependency?

you can create gradle subproject, and add dependencies between subprojects. Kotlin Gradle JS plugin will link them together using `yarn` workspaces.

I have a `library-version.tgz` file that I need to include as dependency.

Also, while we're on this topic, I also need to be able to specify plain http urls. Like `yarn add` supports. When I do `npm("http://....../package.tgz", "")`, `@` gets appended to the end of the resolved dependency, causing resolution to fail.

<@UBJF87EBY> This works for me:
```
implementation npm("@fancyapps/fancybox", "<https://github.com/fancyapps/fancybox#3.0>")
```

So, in your case it should be something like this: `npm("package", "http://....../package.tgz")`

Okay, that works. The dependency shows in the gradle window with `implementation(npm("@olm/olm","<https://packages.matrix.org/npm/olm/olm-3.1.0.tgz>"))`.

Although, I can't seem to get this to work.
```
js("""
global.Olm = require('olm')
""")
```

I get
```

I'm not sure if it's because of the dependency resolution or not. :shrug::skin-tone-3:

I guess you should write `require('@olm/olm')` instead of `require('olm')`

Oh, that did the trick. :sweat_smile: I'm new to npm and JS.

<@U0BKAPC0G> Just seeing the response to this.  I appreciate you getting back.  What I meant by `local` was a js lib that I had written.  I was trying to figure out how to include it as an npm dependency.  So it would be properly resolved through `@JsModule`

Without looking, npm allows for `file` resolution in `package.json` from what I remember.  `npm()` didn't seem to allow for that.

Btw, thank for very much for all the work on this.
