This chapter will explore the fundamentals of how Kotlin can be used for frontend web development. We will see how Kotlin can be compiled to a JavaScript target that can then be used in the development of backend services and web applications.
This chapter will help you to understand if Kotlin code can be written alongside existing JavaScript frameworks. It will also provide information of the limitations, if any, of compiling Kotlin to JavaScript and also how to build a web application that includes Kotlin.
This chapter will help us to understand these with the help of the following topics:
