How to get generic parameter class in Kotlin

Question

Firebase\'s snapshot.getValue() expects to be called as follows:

snapshot?.getValue(Person::class.java)

However I would like t

Answer 1

Using typeOf is another option. (Added in Kotlin 1.3)

Example:

@OptIn(ExperimentalStdlibApi::class)
inline fun  someMethod(data: T) {

    val typeClassifier = typeOf().classifier

    if (typeClassifier == List::class) {
        //Do something
    }

}
