Hello everyone 🙂 Using the new template https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-template Is there any way to setup @Preview for the

commonMain

? I want to create a shared design system and it would be handy to have it in there. Or I will have to have my Preview in say androidMain instead?

Does this preview function work well for you? In my experience, it has always been very slow, to the point where starting the emulator and navigating to the view was much faster. Just curious.

no I've only gotten it to work in a desktop source set

Well I didn’t get to this point actually ;D First the Preview annotation was not available, makes sense I thought, there was no dependency. So I added that

implementation(comopose.preview)

in commonMain dep block

Aannnd got this

No matching variant of org.jetbrains.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.4.0 was found. The consumer was configured to find a library for use during 'kotlin-api', preferably optimized for non-jvm, as well as attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'native', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.native.target' with value 'ios_arm64' but:

Thats actually means that none of the shared compose code is actually “previewable”, unless you go into android/desktop source sets and put your previews there…Unless I’m missing something

I meant in general. The preview feature for Android is slow, so I didn’t try it for desktop.

I remember two years ago , the only way to get this working was to place all your previews in the android module, but hoping that has changed

That's my train of thought as well..I was hoping there's a better way to do it nowadays

it crashes less than it used to, so that's nice

you can't preview anything with a

Dialog

composable though
