Import external js library to kotlin project

JavaScript
1

Hello everyone,

I’m super new to Kotlin and I’m trying to write some interactive demo using Kotlin with D3.js. Although it is straightforward to use jQuery in Kotlin, I am not sure how to manually include a 3rd party JS file and call it in .kt. I want to do all my logic (data preprocessing) in Kotlin and then call some D3.js function to visualize the processed data objects in Kotlin.

Any thoughts and inputs/demos are appreciated, thanks!

It’s easy to call JS libraries from Kotlin. What you need to do is:

  1. In any .kt file, declare what the Kotlin signature of the JS function is, and prefix it with @native.
  2. Add the .js file in the html.
  3. Call the function.
