We should maybe have a Gradle plugin for making us able to use a lambda directly instead of calling jso { } on all the interfaces. It would only work when you also use kotlinx.wrappers in your project. I'm not sure if it is clear, do not hesitate to ask me questions to clarify it !

[Artem Kobzar]

We already have a prototype for JS objects plugin like this:

@JsSimpleObject
external interface User {
  val name: String
  val age: Int
  val status: String?
}

...

val user = User(name = "NAME", age = 22) /// status is optional, so, could be dropped
val updatedUser = user.copy(age = 23) // new object with the shape

[Artem Kobzar]

I hope that It will be available in 2.0

[Artem Kobzar]

I'm working on publishing it

[Ayfri]

Oooh this looks neat !

[Artem Kobzar]

Under the hood, it will be a plain old JS-object

var user = js("{ name: 'NAME', age: 22 }")
var updatedUser = Object.assign({}, user, { age: 23 })

[Artem Kobzar]

As soon as it will be available - I will notify you all in this channel

[Artem Kobzar]

The only restriction - using the K2 compiler(
Such a behavior is mostly impossible to implement with the K1 plugin API

[Artem Kobzar]

And yes, just to mention, it will be a separated plugin

[Ayfri]

Ah, what new features from K2 are allowing that ?

[Artem Kobzar]

Generating of top-level declarations

[Artem Kobzar]

I create a top-level invoke-operator

[Artem Kobzar]

But also, I remember I have a problem on adding it directly inside the companion-declaration

[Artem Kobzar]

Need to check twice

[Ayfri]

Oh, that's great that it's now possible
