Hey, anyone tried having multiple feature modules in their KMP project? can we share resources between modules?

I would like to have the strings file just in the core module and the rest of the modules get access to it, but for some reason JP decided to make the variables internal sad panda

[Kevin S]

are you adding the library as an "implementation" or an "api" in gradle?

[Raed Ghazal]

api, and I see the Res class, but if you look inside the resources generated class, you will see that all the members are internal

[Kevin S]

Ah, yea I guess the generation handles that then. No I don't know how to share resources then, sorry

[Raed Ghazal]

yeah, no worries, thanks for trying.

idk if there is a purpose behind making them internal, if there is no reason I would say its better to make them public then it will work

[MR3Y]

You can instruct gradle plugin to generate public accessors using publicResClass i think, no?

[Raed Ghazal]

oh wait, really?

[Raed Ghazal]

where can I do that

[MR3Y]

yes it should be available under compose resources extension

You're a king man, found it in the documentation https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-multiplatform-resources-usage.html#customizing-accessor-class-generation

[Raed Ghazal]

didn't even think that this is considered 😄

[Raed Ghazal]

worked like a charm, thanks man!
