Hi Friends, I am upgrading kotlin from 0.9.223 to ...

Hi Friends,
I am upgrading kotlin from 0.9.223 to 1.2.31. After upgrade i am getting an error since kotlin-time split into stdlib and stdlib-js. There is shared code used in JVM and JS modules. But having problem with compiling Date dataype. Since kotlin.js.Date works JS module and java.util.Date works in JVM module. can anyone please help me on this ?
Thanks
Selva

Just to clarify: you want to have a Date class in the common code, but you'd like it to be represented by java.util.Date on JVM and by kotlin.js.Date on JS. Is that correct?

[anton.bannykh]

If that's the case you might be looking for the actual typealias (last sample here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/multiplatform.html#platform-specific-declarations)

@anton.bannykh Yes, because kotlin.js.Date not supported in JVM module and java.util.Date not support JS module.
thanks for quick response. Let me take a look at actualtypealias

You may also want to have a look at Klock

@bissell thanks, exploring it too. thanks

@anton.bannykh currently shared located in JVM module and have symlink pointed to it from JS module. Looks like i need to create multiplatform module for the code to achieve it

[anton.bannykh]

Sounds about right

@bissell I have tried using klock's DateTime for initializing the date variables. But i have datatype mismatch (DateTime mismatch with TimeStamp and Date) with value assignment from Database.
