Question: How do I access FileSystem in wasmJs?

[Stepan Goncharov]

I'm using following multiplatform configuration for wasm target

wasmJs {
    binaries.executable()
    nodejs()
}

trying to add nodefilesystem dep

sourceSets {
    val wasmJsMain by getting {
        dependencies {
            implementation("com.squareup.okio:okio-nodefilesystem:3.9.0")
        }
    }
 }

But getting following error

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':kotlinNpmInstall'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':llama2:wasmJsNpmAggregated'.
  > Could not resolve com.squareup.okio:okio-nodefilesystem:3.9.0.

Which kind of makes sense.

Is there any option for wasmJs to read from real fs the same way it works for js targets?

Try wasmWasi ?

We expose the Node FileSystem in Kotlin/JS only. For WASM we have the WASI FileSystem, which is needs its directories to be specified.

Or if you're in a browser you have to use the JS file system API directly and can't use Okio: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API. In that case you can wrap your file system interactions in a higher-level suspending interface and switch between Okio and native JS implementations.
