does anybody know if localization using strings.xml is supported already (or planned?)

[rsktash]

I think it won't be supported. Use moko resources

[Javier]

I created this issue https://github.com/icerockdev/moko-resources/issues/249

@rsktash do you know if it is possible already?

[rsktash]

@Javier Using expect actual you can achieve it

[Javier]

yeah, but I would like moko resouces exposes it by default

[rsktash]

@Javier For android it needs context for ios its not needed

[Javier]

compose can get the context from a compositionLocal

[Javier]

so you can get it implicitly and the consumer doesn't need to pass it

[Javier]

and this would only be for compose, not iOS

[Javier]

something like stringResource(MR.strings.some_string) inside a composable function

[Javier]

I think in JVM it is using the same than in iOS, getMyString().localized(), this should be used for compose too
