Hi!
I'm trying to construct a Js object in Kotlin. As I understand, I can do the following when I have a list of variables, and I want to put them into a Js object.

val myObject: dynamic = js("{}")

params.forEach { param ->
  myObject[param.key] = param.value
}

But can I somehow convert this class

class MyClass(
    val variable1: String,
    val variable2: String,
    val variable3: String
)

into a Js object, like this?

{
  variable1: "",
  variable2: "",
  variable3: ""
}

If i try myObject[key] = Json.encodeToString(MyClass(" ", " ", " ")) it will be a simple string instead of a js object.

You can use asDynamic() extension :

val myVariable = MyClass("a", "b", "c")
val myObject = myVariable.asDynamic()
// then you can use your object however you want

myObject["something"] = "foo"

We already have declarations for Object.entries
Less dynamic = less problems
