A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm attempting to build a React app in KotlinJS and JS alongside one another. This is related to a similar question someone asked before in this thread and linked to <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67661122/is-it-possible-to-import-a-javascript-file-in-a-kotlin-js-project|this StackOverflow question>.

I'm able to make the dependency work as stated in that post, but unfortunately, React has custom DSL and requires compiling with `npm run-script build` (i.e. `react-scripts build`).
Does anyone know a way for Gradle to compile the React JavaScript code in my JS module and then use that compiled code as the dependency to include and interop?

1 option - <https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.Exec.html|Gradle Exec>
2 option - Use Node from Kotlin/JS plugin

Thanks for the reply! Do you have any further insight on running node from the Kotlin/JS plugin <@U33H6SB2B>? It seems Google is short on answers for how to accomplish that

Ideally I'd be able to use the npm dependencies from Kotlin/JS rather than a separate package.json

I hope it will be helpful
```        val kotlinJsTarget = project.kotlinExtension.targets.firstNotNullOf { it as? KotlinJsTarget }
        val kotlinJsCompilation =
            kotlinJsTarget.compilations.first { it.name == KotlinCompilation.MAIN_COMPILATION_NAME }

        NodeJsExec.create(kotlinJsCompilation, "convert") {
            group = KARAKUM_GRADLE_PLUGIN_GROUP

            dependsOn("unpackEmbeddedJsLibrary")

            inputFileProperty.set(embeddedJsLibrary.file("karakum-converter.js"))

            doLast {
                println("Hello from plugin 'team.karakum.converter'")
            }
        }```
It will work approximately this way
```node karakum-converter.js```
All deps will be handle according to npm env of gradle project, you also can dig into `NodeJsExec` task to explore more about custom node tasks

Awesome! Thanks for the example I will see if I can make that work
