val componentArgs: List<Pair<Int, Component>> = args
        .mapIndexed { idx, it -> idx to it }
        .filter { it.second is Component }
        .map { it.first to it.second as Component }

Is there a neater way of writing this? I want to store index to args value only if it is Component

What's the type of args?

[karelpeeters]

Assuming it's something like List<Any> this should work:

val componentArgs = args
    .filterIsInstance(Component::class)
    .mapIndexed(::Pair)

Where that last line in synthatic sugar for {idx, it -> idx to it}.

but that would just give me 0,1,2,3. right?

[karelpeeters]

Ah right, I didn't think about that.

Maybe you can do a safe cast first (as? operator) and then filter on whether the result isn't null?
