Is there a better way to make the front end kotlinJS talk to the backend Ktor than this:

Here is a tip: assign a type to remove the ?

```val content = document.getElementById("content") as HTMLElement```


You code is not communication with the backend.
Your ktor sever spits out `html`
Then the `js` takes it from the client side and munipulate the `dom`

Maybe you mean something different when you say you need `frontend` to communicate to the `backend`

You are correct... It's just a little ugly. Wondering if there is a better approach

Not sure there is a better way to hydrate the frontend but at least you can do
```document.getElementById("content") ?: error("Couldnt find content element")```
for better errors

That's an excellent suggestion, thanks, any others =) ...
