Is it possible to add a modifier or wrap all child composeables in for example a Column. What I want to achieve right now is to be able to add padding around each component but the question is a bit broader.

You can pass a custom Arrangement to Column to implement padding between its children.

but wrapping, as like decorating them is not possible? this does not seems to work;

Column {
    listOf(
            Text("Line1"),
            Text("Line2")
    ).map { Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(12.dp)) { it } }
}

That exact example does not work, because most UI widget composables, like

Text

, do not return anything. However, some other options are: - You could make your list contain composable functions (eg

{ Text() }

, and then call those functions from your wrapper. - You can write a custom

Layout

that modifies the measurement/placement of all its children. This is a more general version of the

Column

-specific arrangement one.

I need to get my head around exactly how it composes things 🙂 Thanks for the hints

Leland has given a few talks and written a few articles on this that are really helpful.
