so.. what do you use to deploy your react app?
whats the task to bundle the js, html and everything so i can upload it or package it into my ktor server jar ?

or is this something i need to learn webpack configuration for ?

[Big Chungus]

There's a webpackBundle task that produces a js bundle and all babel loaded files (e.g css, images), you'll need to write a custom task to include your html.

[Nikky]

do you have any examples for this..
also how is that task called? i assume thats browserWebpack ?
i do not see webpackBundle task when using the new kotlin.js or multiplatform plugins

[Big Chungus]

Yes, browserWebpack. Then you can have a custom copy task that takes the output of browserBundle and jsProcessResources and copies them into a single dir or zip

[Big Chungus]

Keep in mind, though that new js plugin does not support minification or tree shaking, so the bundle is quite large.

For that setup using old plugin have a look here: https://gitlab.com/lt.petuska/hazelcast-explorer/blob/master/build.gradle.kts

that should get fixed with kotlin 1.4 and later though, right ?

[Big Chungus]

We all hope so!

Also last time i used new plugin it had a lot of issues when used along dce plugin

[Nikky]

when i try to use dce currently it just all blows up

also according to the size of my dependencies i have 8 Mb, big already..
how the fuck does webpack make a 32Mb .js file out of that ?
