JS Support about rules_kotlin HOT 9 CLOSED

@hsyed Yes, If you have something working, even minimal, I'd love to try it out.

I'm wanting to use it on a greenfield project, so my requirements should be minimal, and I want to be as flexible and bazel-idiomatic as I can (I mainly just REALLY don't want to use gradle or maven, which are the only other real choices for multiplatform kotlin projects). I can open issues (and fix if I can) for anything that doesn't work or I don't understand. So, seems like a great fit.

Thanks!

@thewoolleyman basic js support is available. It's not in master yet.

@hsyed Thanks! I'll start playing with it when I have time, and use this issue to report any problems I can't get past.

from rules_kotlin.

I'm getting the following error when trying to build or fetch any of the node examples:

$ bazel fetch //examples/node/express:acme-routes
ERROR: error loading package 'examples/node/express': Extension file not found. Unable to load package for '@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:defs.bzl': The repository could not be resolved
Building: no action

I'm probably missing something basic due to unfamiliarity with bazel, but I don't know what.

Thanks...

Edit: It would be helpful to put just a couple of lines in the js README.md with commands of how to run the examples.

from rules_kotlin.

Are you running the commands from the examples/node directory ? it is a nested workspace. If you run the commands from the root you will be in the root workspace.

from rules_kotlin.

Ah ok, it works from the examples/node directory.

I was confused because bazel build //examples/dagger:dagger_lib works fine from the root; I expected this to be the same.

from rules_kotlin.

@hsyed The example works fine for me (if run from the correct directory). I can build it and run the express app successfully.

I will try using it in a separate app when I get time.

My only suggestion is to add examples/node/node_modules to the .gitignore file.

from rules_kotlin.

node_modules should not be in the workspace. The example relies on rules nodejs to manage the node dependencies.

JS support exists at this point, but isn't well-maintained. I'm going to close this, as it is technically present, but we could use help from folks who have an interest in this capability.

There's also a larger kotlin multiplatform effort we are starting to think about, and this may be subsumed in that.
