Using kotlin-react-app, I'm trying to create a drop-area for files. I can define a div

div("App-header") {
            attrs.onDragOverFunction = { event -> event.preventDefault() }
            attrs.onDropFunction = ::filesDropped

but the onDropFunction has the signature Event -> Unit. I'm trying to follow some html5 JS tutorial and to access the files that were dropped, they use ev.dataTransfer , but in Kotlin this is only available for DragEvent. The problem is that the provided event is not of type DragEvent and something like this fails

private fun filesDropped(event: Event) {
        console.log("Files dropped")
        event.preventDefault()
        val dragEvent = event as DragEvent
        val items = dragEvent.dataTransfer?.items ?: return

Is there a simple example/tutorial how to do this in Kotlin?

Hmm, this works val dragEvent = event.unsafeCast<DragEvent>()
