Composer


Composer is the interface that is targeted by the Compose Kotlin compiler plugin and used by code generation helpers. It is highly recommended that direct calls these be avoided as the runtime assumes that the calls are generated by the compiler and contain only a minimum amount of state validation.

Ends all the groups up to but not including the group that is the parent group when currentMarker was called to produce marker. All groups ended must have been started with either startReplaceableGroup or startMovableGroup. Ending other groups can cause the state of the composer to become inconsistent.

insertMovableContent

@InternalComposeApi
fun insertMovableContent(value: MovableContent<*>, parameter: Any?): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Produce an object that will compare equal an iff left and right compare equal to some left and right of a previous call to joinKey. This is used by key to handle multiple parameters. Since the previous composition stored left and right in a "join key" object this call is used to return the previous value without an allocation instead of blindly creating a new value that will be immediately discarded.

Parameters

recordUsed

@InternalComposeApi
fun recordUsed(scope: RecomposeScope): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Mark scope as used. endReplaceableGroup will return null unless recordUsed is called on the corresponding scope. This is called implicitly when State objects are read during composition is called when currentRecomposeScope is called in the Composable function.

skipCurrentGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun skipCurrentGroup(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Skips the current group. This called by the compiler to indicate that the current group can be skipped, for example, this is generated to skip the startDefaults group the default group is was not invalidated.

skipToGroupEnd

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun skipToGroupEnd(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Skips the composer to the end of the current group. This generated by the compiler to when the body of a Composable function can be skipped typically because the parameters to the function are equal to the values passed to it in the previous composition.

sourceInformation

fun sourceInformation(sourceInformation: String): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Record the source information string for a group. This must be immediately called after the start of a group.

Parameters
sourceInformation: String

An string value to that provides the compose tools enough information to calculate the source location of calls to composable functions.

sourceInformationMarkerEnd

fun sourceInformationMarkerEnd(): Unit

A compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Record the end of the marked source information range.

sourceInformationMarkerStart

fun sourceInformationMarkerStart(key: Int, sourceInformation: String): Unit

A compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Record a source information marker. This marker can be used in place of a group that would have contained the information but was elided as the compiler plugin determined the group was not necessary such as when a function is marked with ReadOnlyComposable.

Parameters
key: Int

A compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

sourceInformation: String

An string value to that provides the compose tools enough information to calculate the source location of calls to composable functions.

startDefaults

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startDefaults(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Called to start the group that calculates the default parameters of a Composable function.

This method is called near the beginning of a Composable function with default parameters and surrounds the remembered values or Composable calls necessary to produce the default parameters. For example, for model: Model = remember { DefaultModel() } the call to remember is called inside a startDefaults group.

startMovableGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startMovableGroup(key: Int, dataKey: Any?): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Start a movable group. A movable group is one that can be moved based on the value of dataKey which is typically supplied by the key pseudo compiler function.

A movable group implements the semantics of key which allows the state and nodes generated by a loop to move with the composition implied by the key passed to key.

Parameters
key: Int

a compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

dataKey: Any?

an additional object that is used as a second part of the key. This key produced from the keys parameter supplied to the key pseudo compiler function.

startNode

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startNode(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

startProvider

@InternalComposeApi
fun startProvider(value: ProvidedValue<*>): Unit

A Compose internal function. DO NOT call directly.

Provide the given value for the associated CompositionLocal key. This is the primitive function used to implement CompositionLocalProvider.

Parameters
value: ProvidedValue<*>

a value to provider key pairs.

startProviders

@InternalComposeApi
fun startProviders(values: Array<ProvidedValue<*>>): Unit

A Compose internal function. DO NOT call directly.

Provide the given values for the associated CompositionLocal keys. This is the primitive function used to implement CompositionLocalProvider.

Parameters
values: Array<ProvidedValue<*>>

an array of value to provider key pairs.

startReplaceGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startReplaceGroup(key: Int): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Start a replace group. A replace group is a group that cannot be moved during must only either be inserted, removed, or replaced. For example, the group created by most control flow constructs such as an if statement are replaceable groups.

Note: This method replaces startReplaceableGroup which is only generated by older versions of the compose compiler plugin that predate the addition of this method. The runtime is now required to replace the group if a different group is detected instead of treating it like a movable group.

Parameters
key: Int

A compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

See also
endReplaceGroup

startReplaceableGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startReplaceableGroup(key: Int): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Start a replaceable group. A replaceable group is a group that cannot be moved during execution and can only either inserted, removed, or replaced. For example, the group created by most control flow constructs such as an if statement are replaceable groups.

Warning: Versions of the compiler that generate calls to this function also contain subtle bug that does not generate a group around a loop containing code that just creates composable lambdas (AnimatedContent from androidx.compose.animation, for example) which makes replacing the group unsafe and the this must treat this like a movable group. startReplaceGroup was added that will replace the group as described above and is only called by versions of the compiler that correctly generate code around loops that create lambdas. This method is kept to maintain compatibility with code generated by older versions of the compose compiler plugin.

Parameters
key: Int

A compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

startRestartGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startRestartGroup(key: Int): Composer

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Called to record a group for a Composable function and starts a group that can be recomposed on demand based on the lambda passed to updateScope when endRestartGroup is called

Parameters
key: Int

A compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

Returns
Composer

the instance of the composer to use for the rest of the function.

startReusableGroup

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startReusableGroup(key: Int, dataKey: Any?): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Start a reuse group. Unlike a movable group, in a reuse group if the dataKey changes the composition shifts into a reusing state cause the composer to act like it is inserting (e.g. cache acts as if all values are invalid, changed always returns true, etc.) even though it is recomposing until it encounters a reusable node. If the node is reusable it temporarily shifts into recomposition for the node and then shifts back to reusing for the children. If a non-reusable node is generated the composer shifts to inserting for the node and all of its children.

Parameters
key: Int

An compiler generated key based on the source location of the call.

dataKey: Any?

A key provided by the ReusableContent composable function that is used to determine if the composition shifts into a reusing state for this group.

startReusableNode

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun startReusableNode(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Start a group that tracks a the code that will create or update a node that is generated as part of the tree implied by the composition. A reusable node can be reused in a reusable group even if the group key is changed.

updateRememberedValue

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun updateRememberedValue(value: Any?): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Update the remembered value correspond to the previous call to rememberedValue. The value will be returned by rememberedValue for the next composition.

useNode

@ComposeCompilerApi
fun useNode(): Unit

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Report that the node is still being used. This will be called in the same location as the corresponding createNode when inserting is false.

Public properties

applier

@ComposeCompilerApi
val applierApplier<*>

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Changes calculated and recorded during composition and are sent to applier which makes the physical changes to the node tree implied by a composition.

Composition has two discrete phases, 1) calculate and record changes and 2) making the changes via the applier. While a Composable functions is executing, none of the applier methods are called. The recorded changes are sent to the applier all at once after all Composable functions have completed.

applyCoroutineContext

@InternalComposeApi
val applyCoroutineContextCoroutineContext

A Compose internal function. DO NOT call directly.

The coroutine context for the composition. This is used, for example, to implement LaunchedEffect. This context is managed by the Recomposer.

composition

val compositionControlledComposition

The composition that is used to control this composer.

compositionData

val compositionDataCompositionData

A tooling API function. DO NOT call directly.

The data stored for the composition. This is used by Compose tools, such as the preview and the inspector, to display or interpret the result of composition.

compoundKeyHash

@InternalComposeApi
val compoundKeyHashInt

A Compose internal property. DO NOT call directly. Use currentCompositeKeyHash instead.

This a hash value used to coordinate map externally stored state to the composition. For example, this is used by saved instance state to preserve state across activity lifetime boundaries.

This value is not likely to be unique but is not guaranteed unique. There are known cases, such as for loops without a key, where the runtime does not have enough information to make the compound key hash unique.

currentCompositionLocalMap

val currentCompositionLocalMapCompositionLocalMap

Returns the active set of CompositionLocals at the current position in the composition hierarchy. This is a lower level API that can be used to export and access CompositionLocal values outside of Composition.

This API does not track reads of CompositionLocals and does not automatically dispatch new values to previous readers when the value of a CompositionLocal changes. To use this API as intended, you must set up observation manually. This means:

  • For non-static CompositionLocals, composables reading this map need to observe the snapshot state for CompositionLocals being read to be notified when their values in this map change.

  • For static CompositionLocals, all composables including the composable reading this map will be recomposed and you will need to re-obtain this map to get the latest values.

Most applications shouldn't use this API directly, and should instead use CompositionLocal.current.

currentMarker

@ComposeCompilerApi
val currentMarkerInt

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Return a marker for the current group that can be used in a call to endToMarker.

defaultsInvalid

@ComposeCompilerApi
val defaultsInvalidBoolean

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Reflects whether the default parameter block of a Composable function is valid. This is false if a State object read in the startDefaults group was modified since the last time the Composable function was run.

inserting

@ComposeCompilerApi
val insertingBoolean

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Reflects that a new part of the composition is being created, that is, the composition will insert new nodes into the resulting tree.

recomposeScope

@InternalComposeApi
val recomposeScopeRecomposeScope?

A Compose internal property. DO NOT call directly. Use currentRecomposeScope instead.

The invalidation current invalidation scope. An new invalidation scope is created whenever startRestartGroup is called. when this scope's RecomposeScope.invalidate is called then lambda supplied to endRestartGroup's ScopeUpdateScope will be scheduled to be run.

recomposeScopeIdentity

@ComposeCompilerApi
val recomposeScopeIdentityAny?

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Return an object that can be used to uniquely identity of the current recomposition scope. This identity will be the same even if the recompose scope instance changes.

This is used internally by tooling track composable function invocations.

skipping

@ComposeCompilerApi
val skippingBoolean

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Reflects whether the Composable function can skip. Even if a Composable function is called with the same parameters it might still need to run because, for example, a new value was provided for a CompositionLocal created by staticCompositionLocalOf.

Extension functions

materialize

fun Composer.materialize(modifier: Modifier): Modifier

Materialize any instance-specific composed modifiers for applying to a raw tree node. Call right before setting the returned modifier on an emitted node. You almost certainly do not need to call this function directly.

inline fun <T : Any?> Composer.cache(
    invalid: Boolean,
    block: @DisallowComposableCalls () -> T
): T

A Compose compiler plugin API. DO NOT call directly.

Cache, that is remember, a value in the composition data of a composition. This is used to implement remember and used by the compiler plugin to generate more efficient calls to remember when it determines these optimizations are safe.
