How do I export components as child objects in a JavaScript object?

Hi Comunnity, i have a quick question: How can I export a component, using Dialog as the root, for example, Dialog.Content?

<Dialog>
    <Dialog.Content>
      Lorem...
    </Dialog.Content>
</Dialog>

<Dialog>
    <Dialog.Content>
      Lorem...
    </Dialog.Content>
</Dialog>

I have already tried to export with:

export default Object.assign(Dialog, {
   Content: DialogContent
})

export default Object.assign(Dialog, {
   Content: DialogContent
})

However, SolidJS doesn't quite want to do that, as it occasionally fails to render the child component 🤷‍♂️ Is there an alternative, with Typescript support? Greetings Tobi ✌️

I already know that you can export a component like this:

export const Dialog = {
  Root: DialogRoot,
  Content: DialogContent
}

export const Dialog = {
  Root: DialogRoot,
  Content: DialogContent
}

but this is a bit impractical for the button, because I have to write Button.Root every time:

export const Button = {
  Root: ButtonRoot,
  Spinner: ButtonSpinner
}

export const Button = {
  Root: ButtonRoot,
  Spinner: ButtonSpinner
}

Object.assign should work fine, not sure why it's failing to render, that aside typescript allows you to directly assign properties to functions and will type it accordingly i.e.

Dialog.Content = DialogContent;

Dialog.Content = DialogContent;

Oops, my mistake, I applied Object.assign twice to the same function, so the sub component was overwritten 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for your answer anyway @otonashi9
