Hey guys, is there a way to force kotlin to provide an array instead of an arraylist for the js implementation? For JVM I would like to use the ArrayList. Is there some kind of annotation or something?

[gildor]

Do you need this for interop with JS?

[René]

Yes, I want to have a clean interface

[René]

I'm also looking for a way to convert a Map to a plain object

[gildor]

But there are no interfaces in JS, so maybe you can just write interop layer for this Kotlin interface

[René]

I have written a .d.ts file (some kind of type definition), I just want to avoid to expose the "jvm classes"

[gildor]

This is not JVM class, this is class that provide some kotlin specific features

[gildor]

Actually I see your use case, maybe someone has better solution

[gildor]

or maybe make sense to create an issue

[René]

yeah I know, but it looks like that on the first view

[gildor]

For now I think the only way is add some interop layer and expose only it in d.ts file

[René]

the source code where I get this issue is not yet published, just the library itself. It become strange when you use it from javascript or typescript

[gildor]

yes, I agree with you, some way to expose JS type would be helpful in such interop case

[René]

the interop layer is really an option, but not very easy to achive since it would need to shadow the full api
