Kotlin JS Examples

Gradle Groovy vs Gradle Kotlin DSL

The master branch uses Kotlin DSL for gradle. The Groovy equivalent can be found on the gradle_groovy branch (but apart from the initial commit it will not be further updated)

This repository shows how to interop between JavaScript and KotlinJS using different module systems. The examples can be opened in a browser and don't require any server runtime (like NodeJs).

The main goal is to show interop between plain JS and JS transpiled from Kotlin.

The first three examples are the most basic ones and have the same structure. They only differ in the moduleKind setting (plain, amd, umd) and of course in the way they invoke the kotlin-generated JavaScript.

  • 01-kt-plain-js
  • 02-kt-amd-js
  • 03-kt-umd-js

The rest of the examples use the kotlin-frontend-plugin on top of the kotlinjs plugin.

  • 04-kt-frontend: Hello world for the kotlin-frontend-plugin
  • 05-kt-frontend-vaadin: Example using [Vaadin Components], e.g. [Vaadin Grid Component]

General Notes

All examples use the kotlin2js gradle plugin

plugins {
    id("kotlin2js") version "1.3.21"
}

The configuration is pretty straighforward

tasks {
    "compileKotlin2Js"(Kotlin2JsCompile::class) {
        kotlinOptions {
            outputFile = "${project.buildDir.path}/js/<name>.js"
            moduleKind = "< plain | amd | umd >"
            metaInfo = true
            sourceMap = true
            main = "call"
        }
    }
}

Important remarks for the Kotlin Gradle DSL

The plugin resolution is defined in the settings.gradle.kts:

pluginManagement {

    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap")
        }

    }

    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.id == "kotlin2js") {
                useModule("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:${requested.version}")
            }

            if (requested.id.id == "org.jetbrains.kotlin.frontend") {
                useModule("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-frontend-plugin:${requested.version}")
            }
        }
    }
}

The kotlin2js part is required for all examples. The org.jetbrains.kotlin.frontend case is only needed for example 4.

To run the examples:

./gradlew <example>:build

Then just open the html file from the example directory (plain.html, amd.html, umd.html or frontend.html) in a browser.

Example 1: Kotlin JS using plain module

See 01-kt-plain-js/README.md

Example 2: Kotlin JS using amd module

See 02-kt-amd-js/README.md

Example 3: Kotlin JS using umd module

See 03-kt-umd-js/README.md

Example 4: Kotlin JS using the kotlin-frontend-plugin

See 04-kt-frontend/README.md

Example 5: Using Vaadin Components

See 05-kt-frontend-vaadin/README.md
