Is there a modifier that does something like `WRAP_CONTENT` ?

Is there a modifier that does something like WRAP_CONTENT ?

[Adam Powell]

That's generally the default behavior, what are you trying to do more specifically?

[Adam Powell]

compose layouts measure based on constraints provided by the parent that contain min/max for width/height

[Adam Powell]

there's a LayoutWidth.Fill (and matching for Height and Size to set min = max for those constraints and continue measurement, but most layouts try to size conservatively by default for a very WRAP_CONTENT-like behavior

nice thanks @Adam Powell seems I was applying Modifer.None to a Card inside a popup and it was then applying more space. By removing the modifer override of Modifer.None it wraps the items nicely, screenie with modifier:

commented out modifier

[Adam Powell]

Modifier.None is just an empty sentinel, it's used as the default parameter value for modifiers everywhere. I'm willing to bet something else was at play there...

[Adam Powell]

What was the code calling this passing as the modifier?

[Adam Powell]

What's the Container around the Card there for?

[Adam Powell]

generally when you accept a modifier you want to pass it to the root of the subtree that your composable is emitting

[Ian Warwick]

yes sorry you are right there is much more going on here caller passing in modifiers, I probably put the container there without thinking about wether it was correct! 🙂 will check it through thanks! :)

[Adam Powell]

at least it was easy to track down where the weird behavior was coming from!

[Adam Powell]

I think all of the stock modifiers should have pretty legible/useful `toString`s so just println it or take a look at one in the debugger at a breakpoint and you should be able to see what's up pretty quickly

[Adam Powell]

once we get this integrated with the layout inspector there should be a nice visual display of such things

[Ian Warwick]

yeh! for some reason I explicitly added a LayoutHeight.Constrain to fix something else and forgot about it 😆 anyway wow its gone midnight and super tired better leave this till morning thanks for all the super work! Its very awesome to work with very happy where its going and nice one about the string info 👍
