Hey guys, let me ask you something I would like to put a code like this one

fun getPackage(class_: KClass<*>): String? = class_.qualifiedName?.replace(".${class_.simpleName}", "")

in my

common

module of a

multiplatform

project. The problem is the

.qualifiedName

part doesn’t work in JavaScript and because of that I’m receiving the following error:

Unsupported [This reflection API is not supported yet in JavaScript]

It would be very nice to see JavaScript supporting the full reflection API, but, either way, the problem is a bit different. My code is not compiling in the JavaScript module because of that. But all of my targets other than the js could benefit from that, so, how could I avoid this error in order to make this code work for native and jvm targets and let js without that? Where the code could live inside the

common

module?

you can add a sourceset that everything but JS depends on. This is a easy way to add that code to everything that does benefit. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#connecting-source-sets

Would it not be an option to make an

expect val KClass<*>.qualifiedName: String

?

if he's ok with the method appearing but always returning null (or whatever else) then sure that's another option.

@ian.shaun.thomas I was thinking about that before, I agree, I could move follow with that but it’s a little weird. I would prefer to hardcode the js package name instead.

@GarouDan As the code suggests, that class is not catching extension properties or functions, as it ensures the containing class is a subtype of KClass. However, it might be good to use a different name nonetheless.
