How to mark external classes (imported from libraries or modules which don't depend on compose) as Stable/Immutable? I know that the public properties of that classes won't change

[Adam Powell]

Unfortunately you can't yet, but we recognize the need to be able to maintain a side channel list of these that you can provide to compose

[Adam Powell]

we're also looking at inferring these on some level, which should alleviate at least some cases where this is needed today

[manueldidonna]

Is something like this possible or it would just be a hideous workaround?

@Stable
typealias StableClass = Class

[Adam Powell]

I don't think that works? @Leland Richardson [G] would know for sure though

[Leland Richardson [G]]

it wouldn’t work, no

[Leland Richardson [G]]

but we are working on a solution to handle this in a more general way to where you (ideally) don’t have to do this, and if you do, it will be possible in some way (bot probably not through a typealias like you’re proposing here)

[Jason Ostrander]

@Leland Richardson [G] Obviously this isn’t ideal, but would creating a simple wrapper object in the compose module allow this? Something like

@Stable
data class Wrapper(val model: Model)

[manueldidonna]

I used that workaround but reading the documentation of StableMarker I get confused because it's written that all the public properties of a stable class must be stable
