Today I've come across an English sentence that is "Something is as we would like it to be." According to English grammar and the context, I think "as" there can only be an adverb and "we would like it to be" functions as an adjective (clause). Could anybody please confirm this?

Moreover, I would think that some sentence like "Something is as what we would like it to be." also works well in English where "as" functions as a preposition. However internet search did not show any result. I am quite confused. Could you please explain why?

Thanks a lot.
