And my next Question:
I assume that the Kotlin bindings for Broser/DOM api is continius development to implement new functions added to the standart.
But if don't want to wait until the Kotlin bindings get updated, how do i call a Javascript function?
My current specific problem is, how do i call the function from the popover api on an Element?

Two general approaches:
• Call asDynamic and then call it with no safety
• Create an external interface with the function, call unsafeCast<YourInterface>().theApi()

[turansky]

Latest browser API is already here (in kotlin-browser )

[turansky]

If API supported by 2 main browsers - it will be in kotlin-browser

[turansky]

> Call asDynamic and then call it with no safety
Main problem of asDynamic - it will not receive compilation warning after library update 😞

[turansky]

Right now in kotlin-browser we cover 100% of browser API (supported by 2+ main browsers) and unsafe asDynamic and unsafeCast calls aren't expected.

If you will find stable browser API, missed in kotlin-browser - please report an issue 😉.

[turansky]

To hide DOM API from stdlib-js :

kotlin.js.stdlib.dom.api.included=false

[jw]

I did say it had no safety!

[turansky]

Extension (with asDynamic() call inside) is better solution - it will produce warning, when property will be added

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

Ok now im confused:
there is kotlinx-browser
and then there is your kotlin-browser
What’s the difference?

[turansky]

kotlin-browser is up-to-date and more strict.
Other libraries from Kotlin Wrappers use kotlin-browser

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

But new APIs function will come to kotlinx-browser after some time?

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

And how should i declare a dependcy on kotlin-browser?
Both variants from here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-project-setup.html#dependencies throw errors while rebuilding/reloading the gradel config

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

Ok got it running. Where should i put kotlin.js.stdlib.dom.api.included=false ?

[turansky]

gradle.properties

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

Ah yes stupid me forgot that this simple key-prop syntax belongs to properties files.

[Tobias Wohlfarth]

And may i hope for another answer? (if you not already annoyed by me)
How do i specify the CanvasRenderingContext2DSettings options for the HTMLCanvasElement.getContext() function? As the Settings Type is a sealed interface i cannot create a object from it, and i didn't find constants already defined for it.

[turansky]

settings = jso {
    // configuration
}
