gildor
10/26/2018, 10:22 AMNot sure how this work with new MPP plugin, for js plugin it generates it automatically
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:23 AMyeah, it doesn’t do so with mpp
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:23 AMI also had this problem with one of my pet js projects
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:23 AMdon’t re member how I solved
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:23 AMis it on github?
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:25 AMMaybe just dpend on stdllib from dependencies
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:25 AMNot sure, probably not
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:32 AMi meant is your project on github 😅
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:34 AMyes, I understand
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:34 AMokay. i have the kotlin-js stdlib in my jsmain as implementation but that didn’t compile it
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:36 AMNo, I mean I used stdlib as npm dependency
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:36 AMoh, im using js as client with ktor as backend
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:36 AMisn’t npm only for back end (server)?
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:38 AMno, if you use something like webpack to merge js files or any other way to work with dependencies for js
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:38 AMok, ill check it out
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMFor real project I anyway would use DCE instead of full stdlib
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMactually maybe DCE generates stdlib 🤔
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMhonestly don’t remember
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMwell im a noob at js, and i dunno what webpack is, so im learning everything
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMI would anyway enable DCE
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/javascript-dce.html
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:39 AMkk, thanks
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:40 AMand with DCE you should get special stripped version of stdlib
h
Hamza
10/26/2018, 10:40 AMand i should use dce with webpack, or is dce standalone?
g
gildor
10/26/2018, 10:40 AMstandalone
