How to get context in Compose Desktop?

[Igor Demin]

You mean ContextAmbient.current?

On desktop there is no Context.

Why is it needed?

I'm using Moshi to read json from assets

Yes I mean ContextAmbient.current

Is the project multiplatform (android, desktop, common) or desktop-only?

If desktop-only then we can use something like this (to load file from "resources" folder):

private fun loadResource(path: String): ByteArray {
    val resource = Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader.getResource(path)
    requireNotNull(resource) { "Resource $path not found" }
    return resource.readBytes()
}

If multiplatform - we can't load resources in "common" sourceSet.
But we can load them in android sourceSet with ContextAmbient.current.
And in desktop sourceSet with getResource
