how do I declare an external class on a namespace? Do I need to create a package for it or is there some other way?

[konsoletyper]

did you try to write external class C?

[konsoletyper]

Ah, I see

hm one last stupid question, i have a plain non modular .js that i include that has some api i need to call, but if i mark it as JsNonModule I cannot call it from kotlin, is there any way to override this? Or can I only call from modules?

[konsoletyper]

Don't mark it as JsNonModule.

[nomad]

but then when i load the code it tries to get it from a module, and crashes, is there any way to just tell kotlin it will be available at runtime and that it shouldnt load it?

[konsoletyper]

Don't mark it as JsModule

[nomad]

I have done neither

[nomad]

i only put the jsqualifier

[nomad]

so i could make the external declarations

[konsoletyper]

I have no idea what you are exactly doing, so I can't help you. Can you share your example?

[nomad]

yea sure

[nomad]

i have a script tag in my html including the chromecast api, and then i have the following in my kotlin

[nomad]

@file:JsQualifier("chrome.cast")
package my.pkg

external class SessionRequest(applicationID: String)

external class ApiConfig(sessionRequest: SessionRequest, sessionListener: (dynamic) -> Unit, receiverListener: (dynamic) -> Unit)

external fun initialize(apiConfig: ApiConfig, success: () -> Unit, error: (dynamic) -> Unit)

[nomad]

these 3 are all available globally as chrome.cast.X

[nomad]

but when loading my bundle it initially tries to do

[nomad]

var initialize = chrome.cast.initialize;

[nomad]

which fails as it does it only for the modules i have included

[nomad]

oh wait, i guess i could just define it from window.chrome.cast

[nomad]

yea that works, sorry to bother you, and thanks for the all the help 🙂
