What is the correct type to use in Kotlin in order to get an exported type as {} in JavaScript?
I've tried Map, but IJ is complaining "Exported declaration uses non-exportable parameter type: Map<String, String>"

Instead of List, I have to use Array to get [] in JavaScript / TypeScript, what type will give me a JavaScript object, {}

try https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.js/-json/

that works for the KotlinJS side, is there something that will work for common, jvm and js (especially for @JsExport)?

Why not record?

external interface Record<T>

[Big Chungus]

Then expect actuals it into common

Otherwise, no there's no such thing in first party libs

it's starting to sound easier just to have separate APIs for JS and JVM side, then I can use Map for the JVM and JSON for JS side.

already had to do
JS

fun get(url: String): Promise<HTTP>

JVM

suspend fun get(url: String): Result<HTTP>

since suspend functions doesn't export

thanks for the feedback!

not as pretty as I would have liked, but it'll work

Is it open-source? I'd try to implement support for Map in KustomExport but I don't have a real usage right now 🙂
