Is there a way to change the name of the JS module...

# javascript

Is there a way to change the name of the JS module generated by Kotlin? For example, if I'd like to prefix it with a scope (https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope)?

Normally changing the outputFile is enough. That obviously won't work with scopes

[anton.bannykh]

Hm..

[anton.bannykh]

I don't think there is convenient way to declare a scope's module at the moment.

[anton.bannykh]

I don't think I'll be able to verify this today, but as far as I remember there are 4 places where module names are used.

[anton.bannykh]

The filename. Doesn't take much to change

[anton.bannykh]

The string passed to Kotlin.defineModule. When some other module depends on this one the inliner uses this as a hint to make sure is looking at the correct module.

[anton.bannykh]

The require calls. Also top-level `var`'s in case of plain and UMD module kinds. Those are the dependencies.

[anton.bannykh]

And the last one is the string in the meta.js file. That one is used by the compiler. That is how the compiler will think your module is named. That's also what will be passed to require

[anton.bannykh]

So in order to make is all perfect you can try to change the last 3 to @scope/name format.

If you are only using the compiler js code from JS you don't have to change anything at all - it'll work as is

Also could you file an issue about the inability to define scope'd npm packages here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues

Thanks for the info! I just wanted to make sure that it was actually not possible before filing an issue 🙂
