how does one add platform-specific 1) plugins 2) tasks using the new multiplatform plugin? I'm trying to setup testing for the JS target using the com.moowork.node plugin and a bunch of custom tasks and struggling to wrap my head around it

Yea, I'm also really looking forward to this

Does it need to be a single module? The only workaround I've known for this sort of thing (in my case, for having kapt dependencies) has been to pull that into its own platform-specific module that consumes the multiplatform one. In general I've found the old style of multi-module projects much easier to work with and intuit about when it comes to that sort of thing.

indeed, the old DSL feels a lot more flexible

I guess this is what the new plugin is trying to promote, so this is the direction I'm exploring right now

1. Just apply them from the top level, like it’s done here, for example: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-1-3-m2-new-multiplatform-projects-model/9264/107
2. Does this example work for you? https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.atomicfu/blob/nmpp/atomicfu/build.gradle#L72

Platform-specific task names may be accessed as described here: http://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#setting-up-targets (I’ll take away the feedback that it’s hard to find, though)

Note that support of kotlin-frontend plugin is still in progress: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-27249

perfect, thank you! I'll play around with it
