Hi everyone,

I'm not very skilled with Kotlin React for now but I was wondering how does the support for npm packages works right now ?

Let's say I want to use a pretty complex module like Mantine (core and/or hooks), how easy it is to use it with Kotlin ?

I'd guess merely declaring the package won't help much I'd still need "signatures" for all the functions. Do I need to declare manually every single components/hooks or is there a way to save time ?

Mantine have fine definitions (like this) and can be converted manually or automatically.

Can I group all the .d.ts files and use dukat to convert them ? Is it that simple ?

[turansky]

Manual = dukat + manual actions:
• Add package
• Fix component declarations manually
• Remove unused types
• New version = repeat action

Automatic = simple gradle plugin with string/replace
• New version = rerun plugin

[Lazard]

String/replace ? You mean it could be possible to convert typescript declaration files to kotlin with a simple search and replace ?

Sorry if I'm lost here, but I don't get how the automatic way could work

Ok thanks, I'll try that approach

[turansky]

You can use this project as base and add custom type mappings

[turansky]

In Kotlin:

val ArrowBody = RClass<ArrowBodyProps>

String union in TS = Enum in Kotlin

This is really useful thanks
