Mobile Kotlin widgets

This is a Kotlin MultiPlatform library that provides declarative UI and application screens management in common code. You can implement full application for Android and iOS only from common code with it.

Current status

Current version - 0.1.0-dev-19. Dev version is not tested in production tasks yet, API can be changed and bugs may be found. But dev version is chance to test limits of API and concepts to feedback and improve lib. We open for any feedback and ideas (go to issues or #moko at kotlinlang.slack.com)!

Roadmap

• December-January: Test library in real project;
• February: production usage at IceRock;
• March: 0.1.0 release with flexible API;
• First half of 2020: more widgets, more factories; figma template and generation of screens.

Sample Screen

Android	iOS
Code of screen structure:

class LoginScreen(
    private val theme: Theme,
    private val loginViewModelFactory: () -> LoginViewModel
) : WidgetScreen<Args.Empty>() {

    override fun createContentWidget() = with(theme) {
        val viewModel = getViewModel(loginViewModelFactory)

        constraint(size = WidgetSize.AsParent) {
            val logoImage = +image(
                size = WidgetSize.Const(SizeSpec.WrapContent, SizeSpec.WrapContent),
                image = const(Image.resource(MR.images.logo)),
                scaleType = ImageWidget.ScaleType.FIT
            )

            val emailInput = +input(
                size = WidgetSize.WidthAsParentHeightWrapContent,
                id = Id.EmailInputId,
                label = const("Email".desc() as StringDesc),
                field = viewModel.emailField,
                inputType = InputType.PHONE
            )
            val passwordInput = +input(
                size = WidgetSize.WidthAsParentHeightWrapContent,
                id = Id.PasswordInputId,
                label = const("Password".desc() as StringDesc),
                field = viewModel.passwordField
            )
            val loginButton = +button(
                size = WidgetSize.Const(SizeSpec.AsParent, SizeSpec.Exact(50f)),
                content = ButtonWidget.Content.Text(Value.data("Login".desc())),
                onTap = viewModel::onLoginPressed
            )

            val registerButton = +button(
                id = Id.RegistrationButtonId,
                size = WidgetSize.Const(SizeSpec.WrapContent, SizeSpec.Exact(40f)),
                content = ButtonWidget.Content.Text(Value.data("Registration".desc())),
                onTap = viewModel::onRegistrationPressed
            )

            val copyrightText = +text(
                size = WidgetSize.WrapContent,
                text = const("IceRock Development")
            )

            constraints {
                passwordInput centerYToCenterY root
                passwordInput leftRightToLeftRight root offset 16

                emailInput bottomToTop passwordInput offset 8
                emailInput leftRightToLeftRight root offset 16

                loginButton topToBottom passwordInput
                loginButton leftRightToLeftRight root

                registerButton topToBottom loginButton
                registerButton rightToRight root

                // logo image height must be automatic ?
                logoImage centerXToCenterX root
                logoImage.verticalCenterBetween(
                    top = root.top,
                    bottom = emailInput.top
                )

                copyrightText centerXToCenterX root
                copyrightText bottomToBottom root.safeArea offset 8
            }
        }
    }

    object Id {
        object EmailInputId : InputWidget.Id
        object PasswordInputId : InputWidget.Id
        object RegistrationButtonId : ButtonWidget.Id
    }
}

Usage

Hello world

Multiplatform application definition at mpp-library/src/commonMain/kotlin/App.kt:

class App : BaseApplication() {
    override fun setup(): ScreenDesc<Args.Empty> {
        val theme = Theme()

        return registerScreen(HelloWorldScreen::class) { HelloWorldScreen(theme) }
    }
}

Screen definition mpp-library/src/commonMain/kotlin/HelloWorldScreen.kt:

class HelloWorldScreen(
    private val theme: Theme
) : WidgetScreen<Args.Empty>() {

    override fun createContentWidget() = with(theme) {
        container(size = WidgetSize.AsParent) {
            center {
                text(
                    size = WidgetSize.WrapContent,
                    text = const("Hello World!")
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

Result:

Android	iOS

Configure styles

Setup theme config:

val theme = Theme {
    factory[TextWidget.DefaultCategory] = SystemTextViewFactory(
        textStyle = TextStyle(
            size = 24,
            color = Colors.black
        ),
        padding = PaddingValues(padding = 16f)
    )
}

Result:

Android	iOS

Bind data to UI

class TimerScreen(
    private val theme: Theme
) : WidgetScreen<Args.Empty>() {
    override fun createContentWidget(): Widget<WidgetSize.Const<SizeSpec.AsParent, SizeSpec.AsParent>> {
        val viewModel = getViewModel { TimerViewModel() }

        return with(theme) {
            container(size = WidgetSize.AsParent) {
                center {
                    text(
                        size = WidgetSize.WrapContent,
                        text = viewModel.text
                    )
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

class TimerViewModel : ViewModel() {
    private val iteration = MutableLiveData<Int>(0)
    val text: LiveData<StringDesc> = iteration.map { it.toString().desc() }

    init {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            while (isActive) {
                delay(1000)
                iteration.value = iteration.value + 1
            }

Contributing

All development (both new features and bug fixes) is performed in the develop branch. This way master always contains the sources of the most recently released version. Please send PRs with bug fixes to the develop branch. Documentation fixes in the markdown files are an exception to this rule. They are updated directly in master.

The develop branch is pushed to master on release.
