There are cases when it's impossible to distinguish which JS node owns location denoted by source map. Consider example: a + b Both root JsBinaryNode and its arg1 point to the same start location. Out translator provides full information, though parser can't produce the same AST. The second AST will miss some of the locations available on the first one. This processor gets AST node produced by translator and removes locations from there so that both ASTs become equal.
JavaScript Translation
This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.
There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments and libraries in the js.libraries project.
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.
