There are cases when members deserialized from JVM classes have no JVM signature in the proto. For example, if a member is inherited from a built-in class (such as Map.getOrDefault in some Map implementations), or if a member is synthesized in the compiler front-end and back-end separately (such as enum values/valueOf). In these cases, we'll use the naive type mapping to try to recover the signature. #KT-16616 Fixed #KT-17542 Fixed
JavaScript Translation
This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.
There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments in the standard library.
Compiling the Kotlin Standard Library for JavaScript
The Kotlin Standard Library for JS is built with gradle, see the corresponding module's ReadMe.
Reusing JVM based test cases in JavaScript
Any Kotlin test cases using the org.junit.Test annotation and the kotlin.test package, such as this test case are automatically converted to JavaScript using QUnit.
This allows the test cases to be run directly in a web page in any web browser.
Using the Kotlin Library in JavaScript
There is a simple sample which shows how to use the Kotlin Standard Library from inside JavaScript in a web page.
