I'm developing a kotlinjs react project.
plugins {
kotlin("js") version "1.8.0"
}
and I've written this class:
class Percentage(private val number: Number) : Number() {
override fun toByte() = number.toByte()
override fun toChar() = number.toChar()
override fun toDouble() = number.toDouble()
override fun toFloat() = number.toFloat()
override fun toInt() = number.toInt()
override fun toLong() = number.toLong()
override fun toShort() = number.toShort()
override fun toString() = "$number%"
}
but is
operator seems not to honor inheritance:
if (value is Percentage) {
println(value is Number)
}
even IDEA warns me that "check for instance is always true" yet console prints false...
So I check the generated JS code, and see this:
function isNumber(a_28) {
var tmp_349;
if (typeof a_28 === 'number') {
tmp_349 = true;
} else {
tmp_349 = a_28 instanceof Long;
}
return tmp_349;
}
function main() {
var value_70 = new Percentage(42);
if (value_70 instanceof Percentage) {
println(isNumber(value_70));
}
}
which explains everything. The is
operator behavior is inconsistent around primitive type like Number
, because of Kotlin/JS language difference.
