Hi all - recently found out okio is actually multiplatform. Are there any guides/sample-repos anyone able to find in using it in a multiplatform project?

[mbonnin]

Add com.squareup.okio:okio-multiplatform:2.10.0 to your gradle script and the rest works pretty much like regular okio.

There are a some limitations listed here: https://square.github.io/okio/multiplatform/

Most of the use cases im used to in regular okio seems to be extending <http://java.io|java.io>.File, (such as file.source().buffer()) which i think is not available in multiplatform land 🤔 is that right?

[mbonnin]

While File is not multiplatform, there's some new stuff to do that kind of things in recent (maybe unreleased) version

[mbonnin]

The FileSystem API was introduced in 3.0.0-alpha1 : https://github.com/square/okio/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#version-300-alpha1

[mbonnin]

You can try with 3.0.0-alpha4 which is the latest alpha as of today

i see - was digging through tests to workout how the multiplatform file system works, and best I could find was a FileHandle

will give the new version a go - thanks @mbonnin 🙂
