Hi, if I mark a file as @file:JsModule, how can I declare an non-external interface (an external function return an object without external interface so I created a local interface) ?

[turansky]

What is “object without external interface”?

[Ayfri]

In TypeScript I have a library of which I'm creating typings in Kotlin, and in one of the function the return type is

{
    program: Shader,
    uniforms: Uniform[]
}

They didn't used an interface, so I want to create one for the function, but when I create it in my file with @file:JsModule it says that I can't declare non-external things in an external file

[turansky]

{
    program: Shader,
    uniforms: Uniform[]
}

it’s TS type or external interface in Kotlin/JS

[Ayfri]

Yeah but I mean, how/where do I create the interface ?
Do I have to create it in an other file without @file:JsModule ?

[turansky]

external interface can be created in same file

[turansky]

external interface not affected by @JsModule without magic @Suppresses 🙂

Okay, but it's not an external interface here, the library doesn't use an interface, so I want a non-external interface

[turansky]

it’s not an external interface here

Sure?

[turansky]

Non-external = created by Kotlin/JS (class)

Oh I see okay
