I wrote simple kt-class with testMe method. I can't call it in old js: I see testMe_61zpoe$

Look up the @JsName annotation.

[lewik]

omg... Do I need to write @JsName for each method I want to use in outer js???

[konsoletyper]

Yes, you have to

[karelpeeters]

Is there no version that applies to a whole file or something? This is quite annoying when you have to reference event handlers from within html for example.

[lewik]

Why here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/js-to-kotlin-interop.html#jsname-annotation hello converts without change?

[konsoletyper]

There's none still, but we are going to design one eventually

[karelpeeters]

@lewik Because it doesn't have any parameters.

[konsoletyper]

@lewik the rule is simple: functions without arguments and preoperties get tranlated as is, function with arguments (or extension receivers) get mangled

[karelpeeters]

@konsoletyper, Okay, thanks!

[lewik]

@konsoletyper Thank you

[lewik]

@konsoletyper When whole project is in kotlin - we don't need @JsName annotation?

[konsoletyper]

@lewik yes, you don't need this annotation to call Kotlin from Kotlin
