I am trying to use squirrelly in my program but was unable to import it as Kotlin, so reverting to use dynamic:

val templateEngine: dynamic = js("Sqrl")
 templateEngine.render(content, tokens)

The issue is that tokens is a Map<String, String> and Sqrl is not happy with it... I used this code to workaround the issue:

val data: dynamic = js("{}")
tokens.forEach { e -> val k = e.key; val v = e.value; js("data[k] = v") }
templateEngine.render(content, data)

which works... But this seems so hacky. Is there a better way?

@turansky and would you mind elaborating in what a better way would be?

You can declare external class/interface with iterator operator

I am not sure if this will work because the API is expecting an object (= map) not an array but I guess I will give it a try

You can use Record type if you have plain Object
