compose-samples VS accompanist

Basic understanding of Jetpack Compose.

The compose-samples repo has a comprehensive list of samples ranging from low to complex projects which might be worth a look.

And what was learned from Flutter has produced something I consider even more interesting: Compose UI (https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose) and JetBrains' Compose Multiplatform (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/)

Now, same story, in the current documentation the list is replaced by a single UserMessage without any explanation of the previous example. It just says "For a more advanced use case, displaying a list of user messages on screen, check out the Jetsnack Compose example." .

As for the strange infix syntax, you're correct - it's not important (for Dart anyway). Kotlin supports writing code that have DSL like syntax making things like typesafe HTML or Jetpack Compose possible.

Sample apps

This is what Jetpack Compose according to the Android Developers team;

Just to add to the list, Accompanist is a collection of compose libraries that helps a lot with some features. I can recommend Navigation-Animationand Permissions. https://github.com/google/accompanist

So you're going to get support for Parcelables in argument passing, animation support without having to fear crashes, and if you drink the ScopedServices koolaid you even get to get DI with lifecycle management and scope inheritance.

There is a bug the preview is not working when System UI controller is used. See issue tracker here.

👋 I have been using Mobius personally and for work for over two years now. It's a lot of fun to use and I would definitely recommend the community to consider using it. I frequently visit their GitHub repo because they still have their documentation in the GitHub wiki, unlike new repos such as Accompanist. So, I thought what better way to give back than do the grunt work of porting their wiki to GitHub Pages + MkDocs ❤️🔥

Accompanist for unofficial stuff that's still useful

While not an app, accompanist has quite a good coverage for UI-related things. From a quick look, so does sunflower.

If anyone is in need of transitions right now, there is a Google Accompanist library that provides that functionality https://github.com/google/accompanist/tree/main/navigation-animation

To get this same functionality in Compose without implementing swipe-to-refresh yourself, you'll want to use Accompanist-SwipeRefresh, which is a Google library, but isn't officially part of Jetpack. You'll also need to make sure that any content inside the SwipeRefresh Composable is scrollable. You may have to wrap some content in a Column with a verticalScroll modifier per the documentation. If you miss this step, you could emit a non-scrollable Error state, and be unable to swipe to refresh again.

I’m actually going to look at this over the next few weeks: https://github.com/chrisbanes/accompanist/issues/192
