I’m using a JS API that needs to be passed a String taken from a fixed set. I want to represent this with an enum in my Kotlin bindings. Is there a way to annotate an enum class to control how Kotlin will represent it to native JS code?

Not yet. It’s in our list of things that should be designed/improved.

workaround:
declare in js

var MyEnum = {
   foo: "foo",
   bar : "bar"
}

declare in Kotlin

external sealed class MyEnum {
   object foo : MyEnum() {}
   object bar : MyEnum() {}
}

[natpryce]

Should that be…

external sealed class MyEnum {
    object foo : MyEnum() {}
    object bar : MyEnum() {}
}

?

oh, yes, of course
