Change Log

Unreleased - TBD

0.7.1 - March 2, 2024

kmp-viewmodel-compose

• JetBrains Compose Multiplatform 1.6.0.
• New: Add support for Kotlin/Wasm (wasmJs target) 🎉.

Added kmp-viewmodel-koject and kmp-viewmodel-koject-compose artifacts

• For more information check out the docs/0.x/viewmodel-koject-compose

• The Koject dependency are used in kmp-viewmodel-koject-compose: com.moriatsushi.koject:koject-core:1.3.0.

• New The kmp-viewmodel-koject artifact provides the integration of kmp-viewmodel, kmp-viewmodel-compose and Koject, helps us to retrieve ViewModel from the Koject DI container without manually dependency injection.

  @Provides
  @Singleton
  class MyRepository
  
  @Provides
  @ViewModelComponent // <-- To inject SavedStateHandle
  class MyViewModel(
    val myRepository: MyRepository,
    val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle,
  ) : ViewModel() {
    // ...
  }
  
  @Composable
  fun MyScreen(
    viewModel: MyViewModel = kojectKmpViewModel(),
  ) {
    // ...
  }
  

Example, docs and tests

• Add Compose Multiplatform Koject sample which shares ViewModels and integrates with Navigation in Compose Multiplatform. It uses Koject for DI.

0.7.0 - Feb 17, 2024

Update dependencies

• AndroidX Lifecycle 2.7.0.
• Android target: update Compile SDK and Target SDK to 34.
• KotlinX Coroutines 1.8.0.

kmp-viewmodel and kmp-viewmodel-savedstate

• New: Add support for Kotlin/Wasm (wasmJs target) 🎉.
• The behavior of ViewModel.addCloseable(Closeable) on non-Android targets has been changed to be consistent with Android target. ViewModel’s addCloseable() now immediately closes the Closeable if the ViewModel has been cleared. This behavior is the same across all targets ✅.

kmp-viewmodel-koin

• Fixed: koinViewModelFactory: CreationExtras passed to ViewModelFactory.create will now be passed to the constructor of the ViewModel if it’s requested.

  class MyViewModel(val extras: CreationExtras) : ViewModel()
  val myModule: Module = module {
    factoryOf(::MyViewModel)
  }
  
  val factory = koinViewModelFactory<MyViewModel>(
    scope = KoinPlatformTools.defaultContext().get().scopeRegistry.rootScope,
  )
  val extras = buildCreationExtras { /* ... */ }
  
  val viewModel: MyViewModel = factory.create(extras)
  viewModel.extras === extras // true <--- `viewModel.extras` is the same as `extras` passed to `factory.create(extras)`
  

Example, docs and tests

• Add more tests to kmp-viewmodel-compose (android & jvm), kmp-viewmodel-koin (common), and kmp-viewmodel-koin-compose (common & jvm).

0.6.2 - Feb 5, 2024

Update dependencies

• Updated to Kotlin 1.9.22.
• JetBrains Compose Multiplatform 1.5.12.
• Touchlab Stately 2.0.6.

Added kmp-viewmodel-koin and kmp-viewmodel-koin-compose artifacts

• For more information check out the docs/0.x/viewmodel-koin-compose

• The Koin dependencies are used in kmp-viewmodel-koin-compose:
  • io.insert-koin:koin-core:3.5.3.
  • io.insert-koin:koin-compose:1.1.2.

• New The kmp-viewmodel-koin artifact provides the integration of kmp-viewmodel, kmp-viewmodel-compose and Koin, helps us to retrieve ViewModel from the Koin DI container without manually dependency injection.

  class MyRepository
  
  class MyViewModel(
    val myRepository: MyRepository,
    val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle,
    val id: Int,
  ) : ViewModel() {
    // ...
  }
  
  val myModule: Module = module {
    factoryOf(::MyRepository)
    factoryOf(::MyViewModel)
  }
  
  @Composable
  fun MyScreen(
    id: Int,
    viewModel: MyViewModel = koinKmpViewModel(
      key = "MyViewModel-$id",
      parameters = { parametersOf(id) }
    )
  ) {
    // ...
  }
  

Added type-safe API for SavedStateHandle

• For more information check out the docs/0.x/viewmodel-savedstate-safe

• New The kmp-viewmodel-savedstate artifact provides the type-safe API that allows you to access SavedStateHandle in a type-safe way.

  private val searchTermKey: NonNullSavedStateHandleKey<String> = NonNullSavedStateHandleKey.string(
    key = "search_term",
    defaultValue = ""
  )
  
  // Use `SavedStateHandle.safe` extension function to access `SavedStateHandle` in a type-safe way.
  savedStateHandle.safe { it[searchTermKey] = searchTerm }
  savedStateHandle.safe { it.getStateFlow(searchTermKey) }
  
  // Or use `SavedStateHandle.safe` extension property to access `SavedStateHandle` in a type-safe way.
  savedStateHandle.safe[searchTermKey] = searchTerm
  savedStateHandle.safe.getStateFlow(searchTermKey)
  

kmp-viewmodel-compose artifact

• New Add rememberViewModelFactorys to remember the ViewModelFactorys in @Composable functions. They accept builder: @DisallowComposableCalls CreationExtras.() -> VMs.

  class MyViewModel(savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle): ViewModel()
  
  @Composable
  fun MyScreen() {
    val factory: ViewModelFactory<MyViewModel> = rememberViewModelFactory {
      MyViewModel(savedStateHandle = createSavedStateHandle())
    }
    val viewModel: MyViewModel = kmpViewModel(factory = factory)
    // ...
  }
  

• New Add a new kmpViewModel overload that accepts factory: @DisallowComposableCalls CreationExtras.() -> VM (Previously, it only accepts factory: ViewModelFactory<VM>).

  class MyViewModel(savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle): ViewModel()
  
  @Composable
  fun MyScreen(
    viewModel: MyViewModel = kmpViewModel {
      MyViewModel(savedStateHandle = createSavedStateHandle())
    }
  ) {
    // ...
  }
  

The above kmpViewModel uses rememberViewModelFactory internally. Use rememberViewModelFactory { ... } and kmpViewModel(factory = factory) is the same as using kmpViewModel { ... }.

0.6.1 - Dec 10, 2023

viewmodel

• On non-Android targets: ViewModel.viewModelScope does not use Dispatchers.Default as a fallback. That means the CoroutineDispatcher of ViewModel.viewModelScope is Dispatchers.Main.immediate or Dispatchers.Main.

Example, docs

• Refactor example code.
• Add NOTE about the kotlinx-coroutines dependency when targeting Desktop (aka. jvm).

0.6.0 - Dec 8, 2023

Update dependencies

• Supports for Kotlin 1.9.21.
• AndroidX Lifecycle 2.6.2.
• JetBrains Compose Multiplatform 1.5.11.

Removed

• Remove now-unsupported targets: iosArm32, watchosX86.

viewmodel

• MutableCreationExtras has been renamed to MutableCreationExtrasBuilder, and it does not inherit from CreationExtras anymore. Because of this, a new method MutableCreationExtrasBuilder.asCreationExtras() has been introduced can be used to convert a builder back to CreationExtras as needed.

  NOTE: buildCreationExtras and CreationExtras.edit methods are still the same as before.

  // Old version (0.5.0)
  val creationExtras: CreationExtras = MutableCreationExtras().apply {
    // ...
  }
  
  // New version (0.6.0): `MutableCreationExtras` does not inherit from `CreationExtras` anymore.
  val creationExtras: CreationExtras = MutableCreationExtrasBuilder().apply {
    // ...
  }.asCreationExtras() // <--- asCreationExtras: convert a builder back to `CreationExtras` as needed.
  

  More details: with Kotlin 1.9.20, an expect with default arguments are no longer permitted when an actual is a typealias (see KT-57614), we cannot use actual typealias MutableCreationExtras = androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel.MutableCreationExtras. So we have to use wrapper class instead.

• Update the docs of ViewModel.viewModelScope to clarify that the scope is thread-safe on both Android and non-Android targets.

• On non-Android targets
  • ViewModel.clear() method has been refactored to improve the performance.
  • Any Exception thrown from Closeable.close() will be re-thrown as RuntimeException.

0.5.0 - Sep 27, 2023

• Kotlin 1.9.0.
• AndroidX Lifecycle 2.6.1.

0.4.0 - Apr 7, 2023

Changed

Update dependencies

• Kotlin 1.8.10.
• Target Java 11.
• Touchlab Stately 1.2.5.
• AndroidX Lifecycle 2.6.0.
• Android Gradle Plugin 7.4.2.

Flow wrappers

• Add NonNullStateFlowWrapper and NullableFlowWrapper to common source set.

• Move all Flow wrappers to common source set. Previously, they were only available for Darwin targets (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS).

• Add Flow.wrap() extension methods to wrap Flows sources:

  • Flow<T: Any>.wrap(): NonNullFlowWrapper<T>.
  • Flow<T>.wrap(): NullableFlowWrapper<T>.
  • StateFlow<T: Any>.wrap(): NonNullStateFlowWrapper<T>.
  • StateFlow<T>.wrap(): NullableStateFlowWrapper<T>.

  In common code, you can use these methods to wrap Flow sources and use them in Swift code easily.

  // Kotlin code
  data class State(...)
  
  class SharedViewModel : ViewModel() {
    private val _state = MutableStateFlow(State(...))
    val stateFlow: NonNullStateFlowWrapper<State> = _state.wrap()
  }
  

  // Swift code
  @MainActor class IosViewModel: ObservableObject {
    private let vm: SharedViewModel
  
    @Published private(set) var state: State
  
    init(viewModel: SharedViewModel) {
      vm = viewModel
  
      state = vm.stateFlow.value       //  <--- Use `value` property with type safety (do not need to cast).
      vm.stateFlow.subscribe(          //  <--- Use `subscribe(scope:onValue:)` method directly.
        scope: vm.viewModelScope,
        onValue: { [weak self] in self?.state = $0 }
      )
    }
  
    deinit { vm.clear() }
  }
  

Example, docs and tests

• Refactor example code.
• Add more docs: 0.x docs.
• Add more tests.

0.3.0 - Mar 18, 2023

Added

• Add NonNullFlowWrapper and NullableFlowWrapper, that are wrappers for Flows that provides a more convenient API for subscribing to the Flows on Darwin targets (iOS , macOS, tvOS, watchOS)

  // Kotlin code
  val flow: StateFlow<Int>
  

  // Swift code
  NonNullFlowWrapper<KotlinInt>(flow: flow).subscribe(
    scope: scope,
    onValue: { print("Received ", $0) }
  )
  

Changed

• Add more example, refactor example code.
• Add more docs: 0.x docs.
• Add more tests.
• Gradle 8.0.2.
• Dokka 1.8.10.

• Add kmp-viewmodel-savedstate artifact. This artifact brings:

  • Android Parcelable interface.
  • The @Parcelize annotation from kotlin-parcelize compiler plugin.
  • SavedStateHandle class.

  to Kotlin Multiplatform, so they can be used in common code. This is typically used for state/data preservation over Android configuration changes and system-initiated process death , when writing common code targeting Android.

Changed

• Add more example, refactor example code.
• Add more docs: 0.x docs.

0.1.0 - Feb 18, 2023

Changed
