Are NPM dependencies transitive when a library is published as Maven artifact?

Say I add in my JS dependencies api(npm("left-pad", leftPadVersion)) and publish my library on Maven with Gradle metadata enabled.
The consumer of my library will have to add left-pad as dependency as well or it will be added to the “classpath” (or whatever is the messed up JS equivalent called) by the plugin?

It looks like the consumer of the maven artifact needs to also manually add the npm dependency. I wish it wasn’t the case, though.

I can understand why it’s a hassle, but is there any upcoming change regarding this?

Also, is it different if I publish my JS lib to npm instead? Does the generated package.json contain these dependencies?

It should work as long as the maven artifact (jar) contains correct package.json file.
