external fun require(module: String): dynamic fun main() { val express

Dynamic • The dynamic type basically turns off Kotlin's type
checker. • A dynamic value can be assigned to any variable or passed anywhere as a parameter. • Any value can be assigned to dynamic variable • Any value can be passed to a function that takes dynamic as a parameter. • Null-checks are disabled for dynamic values.
external fun require(module: String): dynamic fun main() { ... app.use(express.static("public"))
app.get("/") { req, res -> res.send("public") } app.get("/todos") { req, res -> request.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos") { err, response, body -> res.type("text/json") res.send(response.body) } } app.listen(3000) { println("Listening on port 3000") } }

React • A JavaScript library for building user interfaces •
Uses the concept of Components • Components can manage their own state, and can be composed make complex UIs.
Components • Components have a “render()” method. • Method takes
input data and returns “descriptions” of what to display. • “Descriptions” are defined in objects call React Elements
React Elements • React Elements are cheap to create and
maintain. • React uses these to model the state of the UI. • When component state changes, render is called, and new React Elements are produced that reflect updated state. • Can diff this ui model with current DOM state and will only update the DOM nodes necessary to bring DOM to correct state
fun main() { render(document.getElementById("root")) { appComponent() } }
fun render(container: Element?, callback: () -> Unit = {}, handler:
RBuilder.() -> Unit) = render(buildElements(handler), container, callback)
RBuilder.() -> Unit) = render(buildElements(handler), container, callback) Invokes external render function in React JS library.

Advantages Backend • Can interact with existing node systems. •
Compile kotlin programs to deploy on AWS systems running node. • Isomorphic JS -> Sharing code between frontend and backend • Kotlin Common -> Shared code with other platforms (iOS & Android)
Advantages Frontend • Statically-typed front end web development • Isomorphic
Kotlin/JS -> Sharing code between frontend and backend • Existing React wrapper libraries facilitate reactive programming. • Kotlin's language support for DSL's and extension allow for rich, fluid ui composition
Disadvantages • Consuming JavaScript returns “dynamic” types. • 3rd party
wrappers are still limited. • Integration with popular libs would require writing your own wrappers or forgoing type safety. • Debugging can be difficult.
