What is the proper way to create a GDictionnary ?

[G159w]

I would like to create a GDictionnary and add some values to it, but I don't find any "good" method to do so.
As a workaround I use the i the get_or_add method but I feel like he should have an insert or add method no ?

    // Workaround
    const dragData = new GDictionary();
    dragData.get_or_add('item', this);
    dragData.get_or_add('origin', this.get_parent());

data.set_keyed(xxx, val) and data.get_keyed(xxx) can be used as an alternative to data[xxx] = val and val = data[xxx] in gdscript.

@G159w I've submitted a PR which introduces a .proxy() method on GDictionary and GArray. The proxy exposes a regular JS-like API for the underlying GDictionary and GArray: #55

Please let me know if it achieves what you want. You'd use it like:

const dragData = new GDictionary().proxy();
dragData.item = this;
dragData.origin = this.get_parent();
