Hi, can I store a composable function as a variable? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66829497/can-i-store-a-composable-function-in-a-variable

val some: @Composable () -> Unit = ::someFunction

FWIW, that does not seem to help, at least with Arctic Fox Canary 12. It changes the error message to TYPE_MISMATCH(a = [@androidx.compose.runtime.Composable] Function0<Unit>, b = KFunction0<Unit>) . That message better matches my feature request, which was marked as a duplicate of this feature request.

IDE may show errors but it should compile and work just fine.

Composable function reference is not yet supported so you have to write val functionVariable: @Composable () -> Unit = { myFunction() }.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Correct, my mistake. Use Lambdas for now.

Nice one. That works for now. Hope composable function reference will be available one day. Thanks! 🙏
