Hello, How do you manage String resources in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile(Android & iOS)? I found this post(https://chrynan.codes/string-resources-in-kotlin-multiplatform/), but I wonder what the best practice is.

This seems like a good way to go

[edenman]

I do a hybrid of the “access by common identifier” pattern

[edenman]

i have a StringRef enum in my common library and then a Resources interface that has a fun getString(ref: StringRef): CharSequence method

[edenman]

then the android impl of the enum looks like actual enum class StringRef(@StringRes val resID: Int) so instead of a method that does the mapping, it’s baked into the definition of the enum

For kmm you can use https://github.com/icerockdev/moko-resources

@murdock @edenman @alex009 thank you. I applied a simple way at first. But I’m trying to understand the way of moko-resources.

Strange to see that moko resources hard way) I will rethink readme

@alex009 Oh, it didn’t mean that moko-resources is hard to use. I cloned your team’s repository and then I saw how to generate the resource in moko-resource project such as MRGenerator. I mean that I am trying to understand moko-resource project structure.
