I have a big kotlin project, with a module that has only dataclasses, this module I want to use for both my other kotlin modules, and my javascript module, but I cannot apply both the kotlin plugin and the kotlin2js plugin at the same time, and a simple "compile (':project')" dependency just leads to resolution failure in gradle. How do I go about having a shared module between my kotlin server and my kotlinjs frontend?

ok, so the kotlin-platform-common plugin is only available from 1.2 and forward? I do not need any different implementations, only a common module

[konsoletyper]

So you'll get three modules, one with common code and two platform-specific without code at all

[nomad]

yea, but can I do this in 1.1 in any way? Or do I have to wait for 1.2?

[konsoletyper]

You don't have to wait for 1.2. You can get 1.2-Beta

[nomad]

yea but I'd rather not put that in production 😉

[konsoletyper]

How far is your application from production? Are you going to finish it in couple days?

[nomad]

hopefully 😄

[nomad]

just hard to know whether 1.2 is 1 week out or a couple of months from our perspective, so we'd rather not put a hard dependency on it

[konsoletyper]

I think you can. 1.2-Beta is stable and reliable enough

[konsoletyper]

Anyway, you don't have alternatives

[nomad]

ok, thank you 🙂

With gradle you can create two modules sharing the same source set. You will get issues in idea though

[gregopet]

We are currently doing that - we have common classes in the JS module and then we include them in the serverside sourceset

[gregopet]

works for us, though on one machine IDEA isn't happy with our shannenigans 😄 (works OK on the rest)
