Hey folks, I want to do something like the following

val components: List<Component> = BuilderClass(...some stuff...).into(Component)

I.e. you use the 

into

 function to take any Class and return a list of that class Something like

Class BuilderClass(...) {

  fun into(klass: KClass<Any>): List<what_goes_here?> {
     ...

Anyone know if this is possible?

fun <T : Any> into(klass: KClass<T>): List<T> {

?

I need to introspect the instance inside

into()

in order to map a returned sql result set onto properties, so I’m guessing I’ll need the class as an argument in the func?

If you go with the

reified

approach from above, you don't need the explicit class parameter. You can just use

T::class

in your function body since the type is no longer erased.

Oh, wow. That looks excited. I need to read about

reified

then. Thank you
