I'm wondering if there are official plans for adding support for CSS functions into the Web Compose API, e.g. things like clamp, abs, min, max.

[David Herman]

I think what's probably missing is a base class somewhere (CSSFunction? CSSNumericFunction?) similar to all the CSSNumeric base class options for numeric properties.

[David Herman]

And then, a bunch of functions across the API which would allow you to take such a function in as an argument, e.g. fontSize(value: CSSNumericFunction)

[David Herman]

Maybe there's already a solution that's done, or in progress at least, that I'm missing?

[David Herman]

@Ayfri, did you ever submit a PR? (I noticed your thread from ~a month ago)

[Ayfri]

I submitted a first PR adding DSLs about a month ago for transitions but never got an answer, for my project I also added these functions, a dsl for creating linear-gradiants, and a lot of missing enums ike TextAlign, Resize, Cursor, Overflow

also a similar way that auto is impemented but for min/fit/max-content

[David Herman]

Do you have a link to the PR? I'd love to follow it. I can help you make some noise 🙂

[Ayfri]

Yup, here it is : https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/pull/2228

[Ayfri]

Also, I didn't created any other PR because I'm still waiting for this one to be added, I want to see if my first PR was right with nothing forgot nor badly made 🙂

[David Herman]

Thanks! Yeah, makes sense. When I look at docs for CSS functions, I can appreciate they'd want to think carefully about the design before committing to an API.

[Ayfri]

If you want to see all the things I added to my side it's open source on my portfolio in this package : https://github.com/Ayfri/Ayfri.github.io/tree/master/src/main/kotlin/style/utils

[David Herman]

I know what you mean about wanting the make sure you're getting it right. There's a lot of subtle stuff going on in the code with external interfaces, composite interfaces, inlines, and things like that

[David Herman]

Oh, you made CSSClamp a generic numeric value. That seems like a really nice approach.

[Ayfri]

also the last lines on _CSSBuilder are pretty badly made because I was running out of time x)
(my school was asking me to finish it on August 22, I finished on this day like at 8pm lol !)

[Ayfri]

Yup, even added a way to create clamp with a range of two CSSValues, and a class for storing this range 🙂
