kotlinlang

I'd rather not have to manually copy the script to my web-application every time i build it...

if you use gradle, you have some example here
<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/javascript/getting-started-gradle/getting-started-with-gradle.html>

compileKotlin2Js.kotlinOptions.outputFile

On the other hand if you are using a plain IDEA, you could probably create an artifact (<https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/working-with-artifacts.html>) that does the copying for you (although I am not 100% sure).

<@U2T92KXP0> *Build | Build Artifacts* is "greyed out" on my end, is it because I am using IntelliJ Community ed.?

<@U814V2HM5> I think it is cause you have none. Project settings -&gt; Artifacts -&gt; green plus sign at the top

Then you click `other`, add your module compile output and set `Output directory` to the correct location.

Aha! Yes, now I managed to make IntelliJ copy my built script and the "kotlin.js" library script. Excellent! Thank you, sir!

<@U2T92KXP0> Next question (related): The artifact is included in the project "build". But it is not included when the project is built automatically. Why, and is there a way to make the artifact included as a part of the automatic build?

Or would I have to create my own IntelliJ plugin for this?

<https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/working-with-artifacts.html#build_artifacts>

You can make IDEA build artifacts before executing a run configuration. Not sure what you mean by an 'automatic build'

Also this might be relevant: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/47121190>

Also, you can change output directory for each module in project structure, and setup output directory for js files from libraries in the Kotlin compiler settings per project or in a facet per module.
