How to convert a Kotlin data class object to map?

Question

Is there any easy way or any standard library method to convert a Kotlin data class object to a map/dictionary of it\'s properties by property names? Can reflection be avoid

Answer 1

This extension function uses reflection, but maybe it'll help someone like me coming across this in the future:

inline fun  T.asMap() : Map {
    val props = T::class.memberProperties.associateBy { it.name }
    return props.keys.associateWith { props[it]?.get(this) }
}
