Hi, everyone
I used MutableLiveData in Android development, does anyone know any equivalent in kotlin-native that can be used in multiplatform development? To implement similar behavior - observable variable.

Only if you provide own implementation.
It shouldn’t be too hard to do

I created an implementation. https://github.com/touchlab/knarch.threads

Primarily for this: https://github.com/touchlab/DroidconKotlin/

Ties into sqldelight so you can do reactive data updates

To be clear, I intended that implementation to be temporary. As native coroutines and multithreading mature I expect something else to emerge, but it works. If there's a desire for something like LiveData, it's pretty straightforward to do.

Thank you for your answers

I will take a look on git links

The ObservableProperty interface from there is actually just a mutable collection of lambdas with T as an argument. Slap a value:T on that interface and you have your immutable version of the interface. Make a mutable copy of the interface that has value as a var instead, and make the implementation call all of the lambdas whenever it is changed. Use the Kotlin library to its full potential.

You haven’t gotten to native yet. It’s different. Long story
