Do we have paging library for desktop? Probably Kotlin Multiplatform?

Following is Kotlin Multiplatform paging library....works at least in Android and iOS....not sure about JVM https://github.com/kuuuurt/multiplatform-paging

Yeah I'm aware of this one. I need one for desktop

Implementing paging with flow is not so hard. I think you also want to be able to show the paged data in LazyColumn which is currently not possible out of the box.

Yup.. exactly what I'm looking for..

I do experimenting with a custom implementation: This code helps to create a flow which support paging:

/**
 * Executes loadPage until result list is empty and emits the items as flow.
 */
fun <T>pagingFlow(firstPage: Int = 0, maxPages: Int = 100, init: (suspend FlowCollector<T>.() -> Unit)? = null, loadPage: suspend (Int) -> List<T>): Flow<T> {
    var page = firstPage
    return flow {
        init?.invoke(this)
        var emittedValues = true
        while (page < maxPages && emittedValues) {
            emittedValues = false
            loadPage(page).forEach {
                emit(it)
                emittedValues = true
            }
            page++
        }
    }
}

Thanks ! Will have a look

So the idea of this code is to have something like this:

val flowCollector = yourFlow.stateList()
//showing a lazy row
FlowRowFor(flow2stateList = flowCollector) { state ->
key(state) {
    when (state) {
        is FlowState.Loading -> LoadingBox()
        is FlowState.Item -> // Your content view
        is FlowState.Error -> ErrorBox()
        is FlowState.Empty -> ErrorBox()
    }
}
}

I suppose if we can get to know the scroll position, we can easily trigger the next pages yo have infinite scroll effect

My code handle this too. I do it the same way the paging library from android doing it. Just have a look in the code
