Is there any way of doing something like this On common.kt

expect fun foo(font: UIFont)

I mean, having some platform specific parameter on the expect? Or do I have to resort to use

Any

? Thanks!

You could also expect/actual the parameter

Like this @russhwolf?

expect fun foo(expect font: UIFont)

no, like

expect fun foo(font: Font) 
expect class Font

And is there any way of then on the iOS side for example do something like

actual class Font = UIFont

?

yeah that's exactly what you'd do

It gives me the following:

Expecting a top level declaration

Are you not doing a top-level class?

I’m declarating it inside my androidMain/actual.kt

oh sorry. You want to do

actual typealias Font = ...

Why the typealias? Just curious

You're typaliasing

Font

to the platform-specific type

Oh.. and should I do on the

expect class Font

as well?

no that's still

expect class

Yeah, got it!

Some examples in the docs here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/platform-specific-declarations.html

By the way, and somewhat unrelated. But is there a way of overloading

expected

methods and using an OptionalExpectation? Something like:

@OptionalExpectation
expect fun foo(bar: String)

@OptionalExpectation
expect fun foo(foo: String)

And then on the platform specific only implementing the one we want? For example the first one being for Android and the second one for iOS

No,

@OptionalExpectation

only works for annotations

Yeah, thats what I thought. Thanks a lot for your help!
