Hi regarding https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-43237, are there more people affected? In our case we need to do a somewhat orthodox workaround renaming the imports to the affects js libs.

“KJS: -jsLegacy Naming Convention is incompatible with NPM

Libraries such as kotlinx.serialization are exporting artifacts with a -jsLegacy suffix when using the legacy compiler with Kotlin 1.4. NPM however, doesn’t allow capital letters in package names.”

[Patrick Doering]

That would be great if that could be fixed.

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] what do you think? 🙂

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Can’t tell anything specific right now. Got to ask my teammate tomorrow.

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

Hi, thanks,
It is necessary to fix, but unfortunately I am not sure, that it will be fixed in next release (1.4.30)
But if you affected by your own generated js file, you can use moduleName
For example:

kotlin {
  js {
    moduleName = project.name
  }
}

But unfortunately it is not so useful for external dependencies

[Ola Adolfsson]

Is there anything we can do? if it’s an easy fix then we can perhaps create a PR? 🙂

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

It is something like decamelize
I have already made commit
Now it is testing

[Ola Adolfsson]

So we can perhaps get it in 1.4.30? 🙂 . Ship it. 🚢

[Ola Adolfsson]

I can test it tomorrow if you provide the artefact or instructions how to compile it 🙂 .

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

So we can perhaps get it in 1.4.30?

I am afraid, that not, release cycle of 1.4.30 already is in progress (1.4.30-M1 already released 🙂 )
Another one problem, that I want to investigate effect of this change in term of compatibility (in fact it can be problem, because file name is important in js ecosystem)

I can test it tomorrow if you provide the artefact or instructions how to compile it 

If I understand you correctly, it is important for you to get correct names of kotlin libraries (kotlinx.serialization e.g.), and it can will be ok only after republishing of such libraries (and it will be in their corresponding release cycles)

If you only need to change your own names, you can use moduleName in your projects

[Ola Adolfsson]

yeah thats correct. 🙂 .

If you only need to change your own names, you can use moduleName in your projects

We’re aware of that setting 🙂 .

[bughunter]

Yeah ok but when you use ktor you will have the same Problems.

[Ola Adolfsson]

@bughunter how do you mean?

[Patrick Doering]

@Ilya Goncharov [JB] in which version will be the decamelize feature?

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

It should be in 1.5.0 releases (1.5.0-M1, 1.5.0-M2 and so on)

[Patrick Doering]

When is the release planned?

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

M1 (milestone-1) is already released, and bug is fixed in it
M2 should be in near future, but we don’t provide concrete estimates
