I was very excited to get to chat more with Seb and Ivan, this time about something I’ve been working on at Google: the new BasicTextField!
Let’s talk about centering things. There is no Modifier.center() in Compose, nor is there a Center composable, and I think the reason for that is because once you understand Compose's layout system you'll find those concepts redundant. In this article I'm going
This is a follow-up to my last snapshots talk, Opening the Shutter on Snapshots, and a companion to my article How derivedStateOf works: a deep d(er)ive. I've also written a bunch of articles on Compose state, check them out here. Slides: Deriving derived state: derivedStateOf explained
Compose's snapshot system is really neat, as I've talked and written about before. Once you know how it works, you can do some cool tricks with it, and derivedStateOf is a rich example of this. I recently gave a talk focused more on explaining the algorithms
Often when thinking about Jetpack Compose state, we think in terms of what code will be re-executed when that state changes. We call functions that get re-executed like this “restartable functions”. Composable functions are generally restartable, but some other functions are restartable too, and you can make your own. 📖This
