hello, I was wondering what the right way to manage the different domain names between local and deployed when working with Kotlin JS? Thanks

With Node you would use

.env

files but that's not gonna work with a static site

Two solutions I've used in the past: • if the server is hosting the JS page: use

document.location

to know where you're getting served from • to add more information: have a

/config

endpoint on the server that allows the client to find out Both of these feel more like workarounds than proper solutions though

@CLOVIS yeah, we were thinking about hosting on Cloudflare directly since it's a static site for performance reasons, but that would rule out the

document.location

trick as the api is going to be on a server somewhere else

are there any examples of setting a production flag to

webpack.config.js

when building with gradle? If so then we could pass that in when we're building in our CI job

It’s possible in KFC You can check generated code, which use

if you follow the gist attached to the above thread (https://gist.github.com/CameronProbert/85b7d60fa9572d93566f5c5ee62441e0) just note you need to change one thing for Webpack 5:

Copy code

args.plusAssign(listOf("--env", "buildMode=$buildMode"))
