My syntax suggestion for that -

private val users = MutableLiveData(0)
  exposeas LiveData<User>

[elect]

maybe exposeAs

[stantronic]

I was thinking that, but seems the convention is to keep keywords all lower case, even when composed of two words e.g. - lateinit, typealias etc.

[elect]

right..

[stantronic]

also just realised that would need to think through how to handle protected status

[elect]

? I'd say the modifiers is declared after exposeas, in your case is implicitely public

[stantronic]

that’s one option. Theoretically could get really complex and have different types for private, protected, internal and public, each being more restrictive.

private val something = RawType()
  exposeas protected MoreRestrictiveInteface
  exposeas internal EvenMoreRestrictiveInterface
  exposeas MostRestrictiveInterface
