Hi guys. I am searching for a way to write a custom modifier, which scales the font size if the composable has a specific size (width)

Text("This is a test", modifier = Modifier.dynamicTextSize(14.sp))

• composable width <=100dp it should use the specified 14.sp
• composable width > 100dp it should use the specified 14.sp multiplied with a scale factor -> e.g. scalefactor = 1.5 * 14.sp = 21.sp
Can you please show me how to achieve this best? Thx

You can use BoxWithConstraint() on top of your Text composable, and using maxWidth you can edit your text size

Thx for this info. I know i can, but i think it will be much nicer using a modifier than always have to set a BoxWithConstraint around each Text Composable

You can't create a modifier for this because you can't set font size using a modifier.

Ok this is a good reason 🙂
So it would be best if i create a custom composable like this?

@Composable
fun DynamicText(text: String, fontSize: Sp) {
  BoxWithConstraint {
    val textSize = if (maxWidth > 100) fontSize * 1.5 else fontSize
    TextSize(text = text, fontSize = textSize)
  }
}

Or can i do better?
