# multiplatform

Hi there,
Currently I have been writing a lot of libraries. And the end users of my libraries a primarily not kotlin users. They are mostly Java. So, my API designs are now so highly considerate when developing API with an intention to provide nice interop.

Current Status:

When I write my API, all of the kotlin test reside in commonMain, and just for clarification, I write a couple of Java test in jvmTest/java as well to make my self confident that my Java users won't scream at me

Question:
Is there a way that I can configure my kotlin multiplafrom library and write javascript (or even better, typescript) test in typescript that consume my kotlin lib? something like jsTest/javascript or jsTest/typescript?

Extended Question:
Can that be achieved similar to ObjC? C? say nativeTest/objectiveC or nativeTest/C

nope. But you could use github.com/mpetuska/npm-publish to pack your js bit into js module tarball and install it via file:../path version in an isolated regular js/ts module that runs tests via jest or mocha as usual

[Big Chungus]

Same approach could be taken for obj-c/swift, pack kotlin code in framework and test it from xcode in isolation

Thanks, I think this is worthy of a feature request. No?

[Big Chungus]

Too big of a change for something that doesn't have that many use-cases in my opinion

[Big Chungus]

I'd rather they focused on union types or multiple receivers over this 😛

hahahahahaha, let me try battling with the javascript side. I think a gradle plugin can make this possible

not using the kotlin multiplatform plugin, but keep in mind gradle has other plugins for JS and for (Objective) C, so you could still do what you describe in a single project, you just have to use some gradle-glue to tie it together.

you can even, using srcDirs attributes, have the sourcesets live next to each other
