Linter support for kotlin-js

[Jomik]

I get linter errors in my project that uses kotlin-js.
On external and the js functions exposed.

Is this on my end or do we need to update something in this package?
I'd be willing to submit a PR, if I can get a pointer 👍

I guess setting the executable to be kotlinc-js fixes it for me.
But we probably want to be able to detect that, and use the proper executable for the project.

The error is from the compiler (kotlinc) itself. As you've found out, it looks like some special support is required to be able to compile a class with the external modifier. For example in gradle, the kotlin-platform-js plugin has to be applied.

If you think you can work on this, then please go ahead and open a pull request when you have something working.

This does seem to require a bit more thought than I thought initially.
The kotlinc-js command does not take the same arguments as kotlinc.
Is there a reason that something like ktlint isn't used?

[francis36012]

I've been thinking of using ktlint instead of kotlinc but I have not been able to get around to it

[Jomik]

I take it that a pr to switch to ktlint is acceptable too then

That's right, such a PR is welcomed
