Does anyone know how to access static files from the processedResources folder in a Kotlin/Browser project?

You can use webpack's require("./path/to/resource")

but you need to configure appropriate loader (e.g. file-loader)

[Siddhartha Juluru]

I’ve added the file-loader npm dependency and tried to add it using

config.module.rules.push({
    test: /\.(png|jpg|jepg|gif|woff(2)?|ttf|eot|otf|svg|ico|toml)$/,
    use: ['file-loader'],
});

but it doesn’t seem to find my file whenever I use

kotlinext.js.require("locales/en_US/strings.toml")

Am I using the wrong require?

[Robert Jaros]

try declaring external function

[Robert Jaros]

external fun require(name: String): dynamic

[Siddhartha Juluru]

doesn’t seem to work. Also the error I am getting is Error: Can't resolve 'locales/en_US/strings.toml' in '/Users/user/Documents/Projects/tbwp/build/js/packages/tbwp/kotlin'

[Robert Jaros]

try adding config.resolve.modules.push("../../processedResources/Js/main"); to your webpack config

That seems to have fixed my error. Thank you!
