Basic-Images

A Kotlin Multiplatform library to rapidly add images to any project.

How it works

Basic-Images uses platform-specific bitmap libraries to display JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files as a Composable.

Installation

Add your dependencies from Maven

# in your 'libs.versions.toml' file
[versions]
kotlin = "+" # gets the latest version
compose = "+" # gets the latest version
images = "+" #gets the latest version

[libraries]
lexilabs-basic-images = { module = "app.lexilabs.basic:basic-images", version.ref = "images" }

[plugins] # make sure you're using the JetBrains plugin to import your composables
jetbrainsCompose = { id = "org.jetbrains.compose", version.ref = "compose" }
compose-compiler = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose", version.ref = "kotlin" }

then include the library in your gradle build

// in your 'shared/build.gradle.kts' file
plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.jetbrainsCompose)
    alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler)
}

sourceSets {
    commonMain.dependencies {
        implementation(libs.lexilabs.basic.images)
    }
}

Usage

@Composable
fun TestComposable() {
    Column {
        // Loads an image via URL location
        BasicImage(url = BasicUrl("https://picsum.photos/200"))
        // Loads an image via Path location
        BasicImage(path = BasicPath("appLocalDirectory/cacheDirectory/images/exampleImage.jpeg"))
    }
}
