Does anyone know how I can understand what the task compileKotlin2Js does? It doesn't seem to be well documented and ideally, I'd like to find the source to see how it works, but searching for the kotlin2js plugin yields nothing

I think this is the implementation https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/tasks/Tasks.kt#L396

[Dmitry Kandalov]

It's not trivial though so might be worth checking out the whole kotlin project and setting it up in ide.

[Cody Sehl]

That looks promising!

[Cody Sehl]

How did you find that? In all my googling for kotlin2js and compileKotlin2Js it never came up!

[Cody Sehl]

Relatedly, it looks like all the tooling for the kotlin language is contained in the kotlin repo - is that correct?

[Dmitry Kandalov]

Module.md of this module mentions compileKotlin2Js and other tasks. Then I just looked at the code (which generates the task name at runtime).

[Dmitry Kandalov]

Yes, I think so.
