Does anybody has already tried to load Google maps and call its API from a kotlin/JS module?

Do you have any issue with it? I think I saw some examples/questions about it. Unfortunately, I can’t find them now.

The problem is that the loading is done by google map itself.

For the moment I just used this approach that wait for the complete loading of maps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38627705/231174

But I’m only using js(‘’) calls and dynamic types where I would prefer to use a typed API and kotlin code.

What is actually problem with async loading?

It’s really hard to find doc or examples on how to integrate with existing libraries. What are the normal ways of doing it, for each type of module (commonJS, AMD, … )
For example, this tutorial on webgl makes use of the library gl-matrix that has some modules like m4.

How do you make it working with kotlin? JsModule + JsNonModule (confusing naming by the way) with requirejs or commonjs? I don’t find any example in kotlin-examples.
