LayoutAwareModifierNode

Known direct subclasses
DragAndDropSourceModifierNode

A Modifier.Node that can be used as a source for platform drag and drop operations.
DragAndDropTargetModifierNode

A Modifier.Node that can be used as a target for platform drag and drop operations.

A androidx.compose.ui.Modifier.Node which receives various callbacks in response to local changes in layout.

This is the androidx.compose.ui.Modifier.Node equivalent of androidx.compose.ui.layout.OnRemeasuredModifier and androidx.compose.ui.layout.OnPlacedModifier

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.layout.onSizeChanged

// Use onSizeChanged() for diagnostics. Use Layout or SubcomposeLayout if you want
// to use the size of one component to affect the size of another component.
Text(
    "Hello $name",
    Modifier.onSizeChanged { size -> println("The size of the Text in pixels is $size") }
)

Public functions

onPlaced

Cmn
Added in 1.3.0
open fun onPlaced(coordinates: LayoutCoordinates): Unit

onPlaced is called after the parent LayoutModifier and parent layout has been placed and before child LayoutModifier is placed. This allows child LayoutModifier to adjust its own placement based on where the parent is.

If you only need to access the current LayoutCoordinates at a single point in time from outside this method, use currentLayoutCoordinates.

onRemeasured

Cmn 
open fun onRemeasured(size: IntSize): Unit

This method is called when the layout content is remeasured. The most common usage is onSizeChanged.
