Hello folks,
I was wondering if Jetpack compose has a GeometryReader alternative, or any other way of measuring a node's absolute position

Modifier.onPositioned gives you a LayoutCoordinates object which can give you global coordinates

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] But there isn't an imperative API similar to the dom, right?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

nope

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

not that i’m aware of, there aren’t really any imperative apis in compose. You can make a MutableState and put the coordinates from the onPositioned callbacks in your state

Yeah, sure! Thanks!
