@Robert Jaros when will kvision gradle plugin go live? Also couldn't find any docs on what it does

[Robert Jaros]

It's ready since the release of KVision 2.x :)

[Robert Jaros]

It's used in all fullstack examples

[Big Chungus]

Yeah, just finished reading updated git book. All clear now.

[Big Chungus]

Although as an improvement for the future the plugin should add generated dirs to respective sourceSets

[Big Chungus]

Just a quality of life improvement 🙂

[Big Chungus]

I've also noticed it uses hard-coded frontend and common sourceSet names.

[Robert Jaros]

I have no idea about Gradle API for this things 🙂

[Big Chungus]

In any case, it's usable and very helpful

[Robert Jaros]

Indeed, I'm working on a quite large kvision project for a few months now with over a dozen services and several dozen remote methods and it saves me writing really a lot of boilerplate.

[Big Chungus]

Btw, i think start method in application class on js side should be mandatory, rather than optional

[Robert Jaros]

It should, but I had no idea how to force this when there are two alternatives for start

[Big Chungus]

abstract fun start(state: Map<String, Any> = mapOf())

[Robert Jaros]

but you will have to write this signature in your App

[Robert Jaros]

even when you are not using state

[Big Chungus]

Correct, but i don't think it's harmful at all

[Big Chungus]

But that's just my two cents 🙂

Getting the following when starting webpack

ERROR in /home/mpetuska/IdeaProjects/Personal/hazelcast-explorer-2/build/js/packages_imported/kvision/2.7.0/kvision.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './css/style.css' in '/home/mpetuska/IdeaProjects/Personal/hazelcast-explorer-2/build/js/packages_imported/kvision/2.7.0'

 @ multi ./kotlin/hazelcast-explorer-frontend.js

Any idea what that file is referring to?

[Big Chungus]

Ah, i remember this one from before. KVISION jars are not being fully extracted and css files are filtered out

[Robert Jaros]

there is a workaround for this in all examples

[Robert Jaros]

manual copy in frontendProcessResources task
