Kotlin Js - Access Resource Folder

I am starting a project in Kotlin-Multiplatform. Accessing the resource folder via Java is quite easy, but I don't know how to access it via JS targeting Node.

During testing, I found out that the resource file is stored in a separate folder. If I'm not mistaken:

build/js
  |-- package
  |   |--project
  |   |--project-test \\tests are executed here via calling __dirname in node
  |
  |--processedResources 
      |-- testfile.txt \\ files in the resource folder are stored here

I would like to know: how is it done via JS/Node?

There is a way using pure kotlinx (no javascript involved), but I don't know how stable the relative path is. If it doesn't work, try with more or fewer ../.

import kotlinx.io.buffered
import kotlinx.io.files.Path
import kotlinx.io.files.SystemFileSystem
import kotlinx.io.readString
import kotlin.test.Test
    
class ReadFileTest {
    @Test
    fun readFileTest() {
        val file = Path("../../../processedResources/testfile.txt")
        val fullDoc = SystemFileSystem.source(file).buffered().readString()
        println(fullDoc)
    }
}

Btw I access my ressources using ../../../../src/jsTest/resources/

You can try to use fs:

external fun require(name: String): dynamic
external val __dirname: dynamic

val fs = require("fs")
val path = require("path");

fun main() {
    val path = path.join(
        __dirname,
        "..\\..\\..\\..",
        "processedResources",
        "js",
        "main",
        "test.txt"
    )
    println(fs.readFileSync(path, "utf8"))
}
