Support public external JS declarations about binary-compatibility-validator

[hfhbd]

Please make it clear in the Readme. Kotlin does support other targets than the JVM and it would be nice, if others targets could benefit from a binary validator plugin too, although without a built in notation this would be a challenge, I know...

I’ve created a Gradle plugin that adds support for JS APIs to the KotlinX Binary Compatibility Validator.
Originally made for the Fluxo state management framework, now released for general use.

• Uses generated TypeScript definitions to do so.
• Can be used with any Gradle module with Kotlin/JS target. Either multiplatform or Kotlin/JS.
• Will be supported until the official Kotlin/JS support is added to BCV itself.

Compatibility tested with:

BCV	Kotlin	Gradle
0.8 — 0.13	1.6.20+	7.4+

See how to use with the JitPack here:
https://github.com/fluxo-kt/fluxo-bcv-js#readme
Publication on Gradle Plugin Portal is in progress.

Please try to use the plugin. I’d appreciate any feedback.

To add to this, I believe that's the same for native() targets

Binary-compatibility-validator is intended to be used only with JVM targets.

There is no public notion of "binary compatibility" in either JS or K/N, so they are not supported

Good point, I will update the readme

@qwwdfsad Nowadays TS declarations can work as a good public ABI for JS.

Already generated in some setups, maybe you can consider supporting it in the binary-compatibility-validator?

JS is completely of our focus now, we are working on K2 release and stabilization of KMM, so unfortunately I'm neither ready to accept a contribution for that nor to even do my due diligence and see if that's a reasonable addition for the future
