How do I use external with javascript enums in kt code. ?

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

What kind of enums do you have in mind? TypeScript enums?

Serialization required for this case

If you need non-strict mode, than you can use constants instead

Standard library uses workaround with extension properties on companion object of external interface https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/75f1fb0237b6c248643ba3cb7013ea2750247659/libraries/stdlib/js/src/org.w3c/org.w3c.dom.kt#L6369

This variant is better for strict typization
