I'm trying to write an external declaration for the following typescript interface:

export interface Headers {
  'content-length'?: string;
}

Dukat generates the following, which is valid Kotlin in general:

external interface Headers {
    var `content-length`: String?
        get() = definedExternally
        set(value) = definedExternally
}

But now the compiler complains:

Name contains illegal chars that can't appear in JavaScript identifier

Does this mean that the kotlin compiler doesn't support outputting JS with string properties?

I tried with @JsName, but it doesn't accept the dash either. Is there a way to work around this?

@Joffrey Please, create issue also in dukat github https://github.com/Kotlin/dukat/issues
And I join the question. Why illegal chars can't appear in JavaScript property identifier?

@U75957 well, this is not a Dukat issue, since I cannot even write a correct external definition manually. There is nothing (to my knowledge) that Dukat could output that would work
