Is it possible/planned to @JsExport a typealias? Have some complicated types that I'd love to be able to provide more readable names to in my .d.ts file

[Big Chungus]

Isn't external interface extending complicated external interface kinda the same thing from .d.ts perspective?

Duck typing and all

[ankushg]

True! that does mostly seem to do the trick -- just have to do an unsafeCast to my new external interface which isn't the prettiest compared to how Kotlin handles typealiases

[ankushg]

Also I'd like to see export type MySimpleType = MyVeryLongAndComplexType rather than export interface MySimpleType extends MyVeryLongAndComplexType { }

Defining the types as equal lets me also pass it in as input from TS to Kotlin/JS without TS getting angry
