Did anybody manage to make exporting an interface with enums as either Typescript Union or Enum (so that a Kotlin API project can be shared with a Typescript project)?

Note that it has to survive serialization and deserialization...

For example, given the following JSON:

{ 
  "gender": "male"
  "age": 24
}

To be in Typescript:

enum Gender {
Male = "male",
Female = "female"
}

interface Person {
gender: Gender
age: number
}

And in Kotlin:

enum class Gender {
@SerialName("male")
Male,
@SerialName("female")
Female
}

interface Person {
gender: Gender
age: number
}

Yes, I made a library for this https://github.com/adamko-dev/kotlinx-serialization-typescript-generator

@Adam S thank you! This looks promising.

Have you considered packaging it as a plugin so that somebody can generate a TypeScript project and push it to NPM?

[Adam S]

you could probably use another plugin for publishing a library to NPM, like https://github.com/mpetuska/npm-publish
