This is godugly code, where a flag for file level signatures is passsed around. An alternative would be not to create file level signatures for toplevel private clases, since those still need unique names, at least on JVM. But that would break binary compatibility. Signatures are due for overhaul anyway. Hopefully this code can be reverted at that point.
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.
