I am trying Coil 3 in a Compose Multiplatform. Is it possible to get a PlatformContext instance from common code?

[Joel Denke]

Yes LocalPlatformContext 🙂

[electrolobzik]

ah 🙂

[electrolobzik]

@Joel Denke And is it possible to use AsyncImage without passing imageLoader each time or is it now obligatory?

[electrolobzik]

I am probably using wrong dependency. Trying with regular coil-compose instead of coil-compose-core

[Joel Denke]

Yes its working. Not entirely sure what mean by passing in ImageLoader, never needed that?

[electrolobzik]

@Joel Denke I was using wrong dependency and it was obligatory to pass image loader in each AsyncImage.

[Joel Denke]

ImageRequest.Builder(LocalPlatformContext) {
........
}.build()
Just send this into AsyncImage or whatever variant using of Compose Coil 🙂

[Joel Denke]

But yeah migrating from Coil 2 to 3 was a little tricky + the new APIs for multiplatform 😛

Thank you @Joel Denke!
