Want to make sure my assumptions are correct, first time working with Kotiln JS target & dynamic types:

I have a js function from an imported library which returns dynamic . I'm trying to cast the return type's properties to kotlin types to create a typesafe wrapper of sorts. I can cast js primitives to kotlin primitives fine, but anything more complex like a js Uint8Array as UByteArray give me a ClassCastException. Wondering what the strategy is for this? Do I need to create my own Uint8Array type & implementations?

For these kind of casts use .unsafeCast<YourType>() function. But be absolutely sure that the type you are casting to is correct

[Big Chungus]

This basically skips all runtime checks and just assumes desired type.

Ah, didn't see that function. Thanks! I'm as sure as I can get with javascript 🙂

You can use is and as operator with Uint8Array - no limits
