I’m playing around with Compose Multiplatform, targeting Android, iOS, and Desktop. And I’m wondering how you would go about previewing your composables.

So far all the composables are inside of shared/commonMain, but you can’t just put a @Preview down and have it work.

All I’ve been able to come up with so far is to create a dummy file in androidApp/ that sets up a Preview for the Composable I’m currently working on. It’s not an amazing experience, so I was wondering if there was a different approach here.

There's a Compose Multiplatform IDE plugin with @Preview support.

Doesn't that just add support for the Desktop sourceset? Or at least I couldn't get it to work for the commonMain sourceset

[Jeff Lockhart]

Yes, it requires the compose.desktop.currentOs dependency, not just compose.desktop.common.

@Preview is currently supporting for android and desktop with the plugin there is none for ios and shared as far as i know
