What's the best way of doing this in Kotlin ?

import {faList, faPlus} from "@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons";

Is there a less clunky way than this ?

@file:JsModule("@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons")
@file:JsNonModule()

import react.*

@JsName("faSyncAlt")
external val faSyncAlt: RClass<RProps>

@JsName("faPlus")
external val faPlus: RClass<RProps>

there seem to existist .d.ts definitions for those.. so you could try the new dukat stuff

add

kotlin.js.experimental.generateKotlinExternals=true

to your gradle.properties

Thanks for that, I hadn't thought of it.

I gave it a try but unfortunately the plugin seems to blow up processing one of my dependencies:

Exception in thread "main" <http://java.io|java.io>.FileNotFoundException: ....bla bla....build/externals/myproject/src/index.module_@babel/types.kt (No such file or directory)
