02/28/2018, 3:45 AMAlso, what is the difference between the js-externals repo and the kotlin-wrappers repo? They both have ways to use React and i'm not clear which one is supposed to be used for which use case

02/28/2018, 9:45 AMkotlin-wrappers is obsolete, js-externals is not ready yet 😃

02/28/2018, 9:47 AMJokes aside, the plan is to grow js-externals and supersede kotlin-wrappers

02/28/2018, 2:31 PMOh wow, that's good to know!
chadmorrow
02/28/2018, 3:51 PMJust to follow up on this now that I've thought about it a bit: I've seen that recently there's been quite a bit of new material published to the wrappers repo around css and styled components. Will things like that be migrated to the JS-externals library at some point?

02/28/2018, 3:53 PMAnd will the JS-externals library only include major version releases of libraries or will it be updated along with its js counterpart? For example, will react support be limited to 15, 16, etc or will it be updated to include incremental changes like 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 etc

03/01/2018, 1:04 PMLike @bashor said, my statement was incorrect. Only the declarations will be merged. The DSL are probably going to stay in kotlin-wrappers.

03/01/2018, 4:16 PMYeah, so it’s basically like this: there’s a team inside JetBrains that uses Kotlin/JS heavily to develop an app. We try to extract the useful bits of our internal framework into
kotlin-wrappers👍 3

03/01/2018, 4:58 PMSweet! I got hyped seeing the CSS and Styled Component pieces go up a few days ago. I saw the comment saying they weren’t quite ready to be used yet but I’d love to experiment with them. Can you say much at this point about what still needs to be done to get those ready to use, even if in an experimental way?
chadmorrow
03/01/2018, 4:59 PMor do y’all have an example of how they can be used?

03/01/2018, 4:59 PMI hope I’ll be able to write some documentation in the next few days.

chadmorrow
03/01/2018, 4:59 PMand also, one more obnoxious question, can you/will you be able to use the CSS library on its own or will you need to use it along with the Styled COmponents stuff?
chadmorrow
03/01/2018, 5:00 PMawesome, thanks!

03/01/2018, 5:00 PMkotlin-css can be used independently from kotlin-styled
Leonid Khachaturov
03/01/2018, 5:00 PMIt can even be used on the server
