a method expects as argument something like (String) -> Any. Shouldnt it be possible then, to pass this::someMethod if it takes a string and returns something?

returns something?

In that case you’d need to pass in a lambda, in order to capture the context of the function call (i.e. this)

::someMethod does the job, thank you 🙂

What’s that syntax called? I’d like to go look up how it works.

in my case i set up a mappers = mapOf("someString" to ::someMethod) (which results in Map<String, (String) -> Any>)
