What is the preferred way of validating query, path and headers? Wrapping everything in try/catches is not really DRY in my opinion. For instance, I'd have a UUID as a path parameter. I use UUID.fromString which might fail. I can wrap that with a try/catch and send a response. What is the idiomatic thing of repeatedly handling validation of these parameters?

TLDR: our previews always have a white background, even when

uiMode

is set to

UI_NIGHT_MODE_YES

unless we start the preview with

Scaffold

or

Surface

. There must be a better way. Regarding

CompositionLocalProvider

, does anyone have any insight into this SO comment I just made? Basically, it's cool that we can customize/override

LocalContentColor

, but the next thing we reached for (to try to get our previews to look right) was something like

LocalBackgroundColor

or

LocalContainerColor

, etc.

Hi team. I'm adding logging to my compose-desktop app and it runs well in IDEA but fails to launch JVM when "runDistributable". The error message refers to a JLink(?) issue that the logback package I use hasn't handle well for Java module. May I know if there's any sophisticated solution to export logging to a file in compose-desktop world? Thank you very much. Ref: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1515

How do I send json in form data from the ktor client and receive it on a ktor server? I need multiple keys (json and json2) with json data in them in the same request.

Anyone aware of way to create custom deserialization of some "map type" json in to a list (more in thread)....

Why are

@Compose

methods starting with uppercase, when Kotlin has lower-case rules for functions? Kotlin lists exception for factory function creating class of same name, but this is not case of Compose. And Compose uses upper-case for its functions, and it's even not tagget in IDE with warning, while ordinary functions show correct warning. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coding-conventions.html#naming-rules

hello 👋 has anyone tried

value class

with jackson?

fun main() {
  val string = ObjectMapper().findAndRegisterModules()
    .convertValue<Map<String, String>>(Value("any"))

  println(string)
}

@JvmInline
value class Value(val value: String)

prints

{value=any}

with jackson 2.12.5, but fails with jackson 2.13.0. error is

Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `java.util.LinkedHashMap` (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('any')
 at [Source: UNKNOWN; byte offset: #UNKNOWN]

though https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin/issues/464 makes me wonder if my expectation is wrong. my use case is the one marked as “broken”:

"broken": [ {"value":0}, {"value":0} ]

, though this is exactly what I want

hello guys i am registering a broadcastreceiver dynamically as described in https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/migrate/interoperability-apis/views-in-compose#case-study-broadcastreceivers, however i am getting the following error on api 34

One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

Hey all, so I've had this issue happen on both a personal project now and our work project where we just brought kotlin multiplatform in, but local builds will build fine but it specifically fails on CI, I've seen this same error happen in a github action and gitlab CI environment when trying to go from kotlin

1.7.10

to

1.7.20

but the stack trace hasn't been super helpful into hunting down exactly why the CI can't find

1.7.20

attaching stack trace in thread:

How can I dismiss a

DropdownMenu

when it is clicked? Is the only way through

DropdownMenuItem

via its

onClick

? I’ve tried passing

DropdownMenu(modifier = Modifier.clickable …)

but this doesn’t have any effect that I can see.
