I am using the kotlin multiplatform plugin 1.4 M2 and cant seem to work out how to generate typescript files (.d.ts) instead of js

A snippet of my build is below  
kotlin {  
sourceSets {  
commonMain {  
}  
}  
js(IR) {  
useCommonJs()  
browser()  
binaries.executable()  
}  
}

In the directory build\js\packages$project-name\kotlin I can see a js file but no .d.ts

Has anyone managed to generate a .d.ts file?

any news on this?

I declared in the build file:  
`kotlin { js(IR) { useCommonJs() binaries.executable() } }`

I declared on a kotlin class:  
`@JsExport`

I executed jsMainClasses, but I cannot find any generated \*.d.ts file in the build folder. What am I missing/doing wrong?

Have you found a way to generate them for a multiplatform project?
