I’m trying kotlin-js again for the first time in a while. I have a simple module with some JS code compiling using the new IR compiler.

What’s the easiest way for me to provide a separate isolated piece of js code for a team to use in a browser?

As in js npm package for them to consume via yarn or npm?

[spierce7]

that’s a worst case scenario

[spierce7]

a best case scenario is that I just have a separate artifact hosted somewhere that they can pull into a page dynamically

[Big Chungus]

Oh, then it's even simpler. Use binaries.executable() and then run jsBrowserDistribution task. Afterwards you'll find your js file in build/distribution

[spierce7]

jsBrowserDistribution will that be properly minified etc?

[spierce7]

and compiled for production?

[Big Chungus]

Yes

[spierce7]

I’m a little disappointed that I ran that compilation and the file generated is 173kb

[spierce7]

the app does nothing so far lol

[spierce7]

It’s including a bunch of stuff that I don’t really use

[Big Chungus]

That's expected. Kjs has quite some initial bloat which becomes less significant as your app grows

[spierce7]

I need to configure it to compile to plain js right?

[Big Chungus]

Shouldn't need to
