After reading a bit, I found out that runBlocking is only available for JVM. Can I assume that await() is also JVM only? If so, how do I refactor my code to maintain the same behavior? Thanks!

runBlocking is available on native as well, but not on JS

[mbonnin]

unless you use JS, you can use expect/actual to define your own runBlocking

[Alfred Lopez]

Yeah...JS is where I need it

[mbonnin]

I see

[Alfred Lopez]

I'm also getting an "error" with await()....

[mbonnin]

I'm not super familiar with how JS scheduling work

[mbonnin]

It looks like await is using Promises: https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlin.js.-promise/await.html

[Alfred Lopez]

Ah!

[Alfred Lopez]

Ok.

[Alfred Lopez]

Ok, so now I need to deal with runBlocking....

[Alfred Lopez]

I found an article that talks about it for testing, but it doesn't mention that it can be use for common code.

Let me try that. Thanks!

Sure thing, I didn't do much, I want to dive into JS but haven't really found the time yet

What is your usecase of using runBlocking on js?
