Is there any way to check if a variable is val/var?

For what? I dont imagine a use case for that

interactive course

No. var/val is just a compiler directive to raise red flag when a 'val' is re-assigned a new value and to possibly do some optimizations. For a 'val' or 'var' property, you may be able to figure it out; you can see if the property is a

KProperty

or

KMutableProperty

(not sure if i have the class-names correc there)

I assume the metadata annotation contains info on that

@streetsofboston I tried yesterday with KProperty and KMutableProperty but I didn't get it working

What did you try? You can either use reflection or obtain a method reference (which is basically a KProperty) to inspect a property's mutability. Then a

is KMutableProperty

should do the trick, or something very similar.

@streetsofboston I tried

is KMutableProperty

but it says KProperty is incompatible with String

String

? Did you try something like this:

loadedEmployee::firstName is KMutableProperty<*>

(note the use of

::

instead of

.

)

it works, thank you!
