How far is material 3 from being compose-multiplatform ready?

[Landry Norris]

I believe they merged in building material3 for all platforms last week. The latest alpha should have it.

[Lucas]

Yeah, kinda realized it after posting. Gonna try it right now!

[Landry Norris]

Same with icons extended.

[Lucas]

I keep getting could not find org.jetbrains.compose.material:material-icons-extended-js:1.2.0-alpha01-dev731 tho

[Landry Norris]

Interesting. It should have been in 731 looking at the timing.

[Landry Norris]

Maybe ope an issue on the repo?

[Lucas]

741 has been release just now. I'm going to try it

[Landry Norris]

Yeah. I noticed that it didn’t get merged into the upstream androidx until yesterday.

https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2106 looks like it was a bug

[Thomas]

On Windows it is working quite great, I am using it in production 🙂

A few components are missing tho, arent they?

[Lucas]

Not sure if its for multiplatform only

[Thomas]

Well if it is already available on https://cs.android.com/ you can just copy/paste it into your project. Otherwise you would need to use material (2) library.

[Thomas]

If I remember correctly my app only uses material3 components. Some of them were copied into my project though because they were Android only, so I had to adapt them for multiplatform.

[Lucas]

I see. I thought about that but ended giving up. Might give it a try, since it worked for you

[Thomas]

If you are running into issues where you need to access internal compose code, you can use this (bad) workaround: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C01D6HTPATV/p1652467602068519?thread_ts=1652465477.640219&cid=C01D6HTPATV. I use that in some places where I needed to copy the source files that use internal code.
