Hey everyone, is there a way to assign a weight sum to a Row, like there is with LinearLayouts? For example, I have this:

Row {
    columns.forEach {
        Card(Modifier.weight(1f))
    }
}

In my case the number of columns is dynamic, and the max number of columns is 3

And I get a row looking like this, when I have 3 columns: (each card has weight 1)
[ ] [ ] [ ]

And when there is only 1 column, I get this: (each card has weight 1)
[ ]

I wanted to get this: (each card has weight 1, weight sum is 3)
[ ]

You can use a Spacer with the weight remained.

Or you can use Modifier.fillMaxWidth(fraction = 1 / 3f) on the first card, and Modifier.fillMaxWidth(fraction = 1 / 2f) on the second, and so on.

Thanks, the second workaround will do nicely 🙂

I think there is also a fill parameter in weight which should do it

It would also be pretty easy to make a custom layout for this that could also do stuff like enforce that there are only three children.

@*zachklipp* Yeah that would probably be a good way to learn about creating custom layouts 🙂 i'm just starting with Compose, loving it though. But I think a weightSum should still exist
