Is there a way to use kotlin 1.7.0 with compose for web? I see on the android compose compiler you can sneak in the dev version from here: https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository
Would it work the same for multiplatform?

[Joost Klitsie]

They promise shorter compile times and bundle size reductions for KotlinJS, would like to try it out 🙂

Not yet

there is a custom build with koltin 1.7.0-RC - 0.0.0-on_kotlin_1.7.0-rc-dev705

[Joost Klitsie]

How is the usual process with jetbrains compose and these dev builds? Just add an eap maven, pick up that version for all compose dependencies?

[hfhbd]

Uh nice, but not with 1.7.0 release version?

[hfhbd]

Yes, just add the eap repo: maven(url = "<https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev>")

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

yes, only 1.7.0-RC available for compose-web so far.

but If I'm no mistaken, 0.0.0-on_kotlin_1.7.0-rc-dev705 should work with kotlin 1.7.0 as well. That build should have kotlin version check disabled

and of course I am already using that for the 1.2.0 alpha build 😄 but my brain apparently didn't store that information

[hfhbd]

Nice to know, I will try the version :D

[Joost Klitsie]

thanks for the suggestions!

aside from coroutines not updating, using this compose version worked fine with kotlin 1.7.0 🙂 I am not sure if reload times improved, but the generated bundle went from 3MB to 2MB so that is nice

BTW you could use the workaround https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/3305#issuecomment-1141239424

[Joost Klitsie]

works fine with 1.6.1

[Joost Klitsie]

but thanks for the hint
