hi all,

general question, is there a way to share compose components web, android and desktop? any advice on how to do this if its possible?

[CLOVIS]

There are two Compose for Web: DOM (called core) and Canvas. It is possible to share a lot of components between Canvas, Desktop and Android, but it's quite experimental.

Compose for Web DOM is ready to use, but it cannot share components with the other platforms.

Thanks. I havent heard about Canvas, I’ll check it out.

[Archie]

Thank you very much

[CLOVIS]

Of course, you could expect/actual all your components, in which case you could use all platforms, but that's a lot of work.

[CLOVIS]

I'm actually attempting it 🫣 but it's nowhere near ready to use. https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/decouple

Yeah, expect/actual theoretical work but it does not scale and biggest problem is Modifer support

[Pablichjenkov]

If you want to jump into experimental waters. Same compose-ui code running on all the platforms. This is the official examples:

This is very interesting. Is there an official statement about these sample? And how they plan to make them official?

[Pablichjenkov]

I really don't know. You can browse the repo see if you can find some documentation in that regards.
Even though they are experimental I don't expect drastic changes in their final versions, although I am not the most indicated to assure that. You may ask about those concerns in this channel or the #multiplatform or #compose-mp channels.

Thank you
