Who knows where can get the source code of Compose IDE Plugin? I follow this guideline:https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev/README.md , And I can see the Compose Kotlin Compile Plugin in the path “./frameworks/support/compose/compose-compiler-hosted”, but not IDE Plugin
thanks a lot

Be warned that as far as I know, AS still does not build on studio-master-dev if you cannot access Google’s private repo — see https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/126764883
Except the workarounds don’t really work

@jim Can you speak to what the vision for Compose Designer is? What are you hoping it allows you to do?

The Compose IDE plugin is basically just making the IDE aware of the changes made by the compose-compiler (intercepting function calls, emitting additional error checks, etc) Compose designer is all the more advanced stuff beyond just helping the IDE surface the compose-compiler behaviors. This includes things like the compose Preview pane, inspector, and other tools to help you design/debug/build composable functions.

Yeah I was more interested in the
other tools to help you design/debug/build composable functions
What tooling should we expect when it comes to building composables apart from just the Preview?

Will there be tools for other text editors like vscode? Like what flutter team has done?
