I’m trying to use only `.gradle.kts` instead of `....

# gradle

I’m trying to use only .gradle.kts instead of .gradle ones on my project. And I’m having a lot of doubts because of this.

How can I convert this to kts?

kotlinFrontend {
    downloadNodeJsVersion = 'latest'

    sourceMaps = true

    npm {
        dependency "style-loader"
        dependency("react")
        dependency("react-dom")

        devDependency("karma")
    }

    webpackBundle {
        bundleName = "main"
        contentPath = file('src/main/web')
    }
}

Using something like task("kotlinFrontend") { don’t work since the inner parts aren’t recognized.

kotlinFrontend is a block to configure the frontend plugin, so it should be defined as kotlinFrontend { } or configure<KotlinFrontendExtension> { }. The task() function is used to configure Gradle Tasks only.

I didn't tried, but maybe this sample could help. https://github.com/gyulavoros/kotlin-todomvc/blob/master/frontend/build.gradle.kts

task("kotlinFrontend") { don’t work since the inner parts aren’t recognized.

In general, to make it work you have to specify also type of task, but also it’s incorrect syntax, because this syntax, you have to say do you want to create or get existing task

but in this case this is not a task, but extension

kotlinFrontend should work if you use plugins dsl, how in example that Danilo shared
