Modifier

interface Modifier

An ordered, immutable collection of modifier elements that decorate or add behavior to Compose UI elements. For example, backgrounds, padding and click event listeners decorate or add behavior to rows, text or buttons.

This class is taken from the androidx Jetpack Compose UI library so as to avoid extra dependencies.

Inheritors

Types

Companion

object Companion : Modifier

The companion object Modifier is the empty, default, or starter Modifier that contains no elements. Use it to create a new Modifier using modifier extension factory functions.

Element

A single element contained within a Modifier chain.

Functions

all

abstract fun all(predicate: (Modifier.Element<*>) -> Boolean): Boolean

Returns true if predicate returns true for all Elements in this Modifier or if this Modifier contains no Elements.

any

abstract fun any(predicate: (Modifier.Element<*>) -> Boolean): Boolean

Returns true if predicate returns true for any Element in this Modifier.

background

@Stable



fun Modifier.background(
    startColor: Int, 
    endColor: Int, 
    gradientDirection: GradientDirection = GradientDirection.TOP_TO_BOTTOM
): Modifier

Fills the composable's background with a directional gradient between two ARGB integer colours.

    endColor: KColor, 
    gradientDirection: GradientDirection = GradientDirection.TOP_TO_BOTTOM
): Modifier

Fills the composable's background with a gradient from startColor to endColor in the given gradientDirection.

border

@Stable



fun Modifier.border(color: Int, thickness: Int = 1): Modifier

Adds a border using a raw ARGB integer color.

@Stable



fun Modifier.border(color: KColor, thickness: Int = 1): Modifier

Adds a border of thickness pixels and color to the composable.

clipToBounds

Restricts hit-testing of this node's descendants to its own bounds - see ClipToBoundsModifier.

combinedClickable

@Stable



fun <T : UINode> Modifier.combinedClickable(
    onLongClick: (T, PointerEvent) -> Unit? = null, 
    onDoubleClick: (T, PointerEvent) -> Unit? = null, 
    onClick: (T, PointerEvent) -> Unit? = null
): Modifier

Adds multiple click-type handlers to a composable in a single modifier.

debug

@Stable



fun Modifier.debug(vararg strs: String): Modifier

Attaches one or more plain-text debug strings to the composable.

The strings are displayed in the debug overlay when debug mode is active.

Parameters

  • strs: The strings to attach.
@Stable



fun Modifier.debug(vararg comps: Component): Modifier

Attaches one or more formatted Component debug labels to the composable.

Parameters

draggable

fun Modifier.draggable(
    state: DraggableState, 
    orientation: Orientation, 
    enabled: Boolean = true, 
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null, 
    onDragStarted: () -> Unit = {}, 
    onDragStopped: () -> Unit = {}
): Modifier

Recognizes a drag gesture along orientation and reports each movement as a delta to state - the net.kernelpanicsoft.archie equivalent of Compose Foundation's Modifier.draggable(state, orientation, enabled, interactionSource, onDragStarted, onDragStopped) (dropping startDragImmediately/reverseDirection, which have no equivalent concept here).

fillMaxHeight

@Stable



fun Modifier.fillMaxHeight(percent: Double = 1.0): Modifier

Forces the node to fill percent of the maximum available height.

Parameters

  • percent: Fraction of available height (0.0–1.0). Default 1.0 fills all available height.

fillMaxSize

@Stable



fun Modifier.fillMaxSize(percent: Double = 1.0): Modifier

Forces the node to fill percent of both the available width and height.

Parameters

  • percent: Fraction of available space (0.0–1.0). Default 1.0 fills all available space.

fillMaxWidth

@Stable



fun Modifier.fillMaxWidth(percent: Double = 1.0): Modifier

Forces the node to fill percent of the maximum available width.

Parameters

  • percent: Fraction of available width (0.0–1.0). Default 1.0 fills all available width.

focusable

@Composable



fun Modifier.focusable(enabled: Boolean = true, interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null): Modifier

Registers this composable as a vanilla keyboard/controller focus-navigation stop - the net.kernelpanicsoft.archie equivalent of Compose Foundation's Modifier.focusable.

foldIn

abstract fun <R> foldIn(initial: R, operation: (R, Modifier.Element<*>) -> R): R

Accumulates a value starting with initial and applying operation to the current value and each element from outside in.

Elements wrap one another in a chain from left to right; an Element that appears to the left of another in a + expression or in operation's parameter order affects all of the elements that appear after it. foldIn may be used to accumulate a value starting from the parent or head of the modifier chain to the final wrapped child.

foldOut

abstract fun <R> foldOut(initial: R, operation: (Modifier.Element<*>, R) -> R): R

Accumulates a value starting with initial and applying operation to the current value and each element from inside out.

Elements wrap one another in a chain from left to right; an Element that appears to the left of another in a + expression or in operation's parameter order affects all of the elements that appear after it. foldOut may be used to accumulate a value starting from the child or tail of the modifier chain up to the parent or head of the chain.

getAll

inline fun <T : Modifier.Element<T>> Modifier.getAll(): List<T>

Collects all Modifier.Element instances of type T from this modifier chain.

Return

A list of all modifier elements matching type T, in declaration order.

height

@Stable



fun Modifier.height(height: Int): Modifier

Sets an exact fixed height of height pixels (width unconstrained).

hoverable

fun Modifier.hoverable(interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource, enabled: Boolean = true): Modifier

Emits HoverInteraction as the pointer enters/exits - matches Compose Foundation's own Modifier.hoverable(interactionSource, enabled) signature exactly. Observe the result via net.kernelpanicsoft.archie.gui.interaction.collectIsHoveredAsState, same as Android; this has no enter/exit callbacks of its own to hook into.

margin

@Stable



fun Modifier.margin(all: Int = 0): Modifier

Adds a uniform margin on all four sides.

@Stable



fun Modifier.margin(horizontal: Int = 0, vertical: Int = 0): Modifier

    left: Int = 0, 
    right: Int = 0, 
    top: Int = 0, 
    bottom: Int = 0
): Modifier

Adds independent per-side margins around this composable.

offset

@Stable



fun Modifier.offset(x: Int = 0, y: Int = 0): Modifier

Shifts the composable by (x, y) pixels after layout.

onCharTyped

Registers a character-typed handler on this composable.

onDrag

@Stable



fun <T : UINode> Modifier.onDrag(global: Boolean = false, onDragEvent: (T, DragEvent) -> Unit): Modifier

Registers a drag event handler on this composable.

onGloballyPositioned

fun Modifier.onGloballyPositioned(onGloballyPositioned: (IntCoordinates) -> Unit): Modifier

Registers onGloballyPositioned to be called with the node's absolute screen coordinates every time it is placed (e.g. on layout changes).

onKeyEvent

Registers a key-press handler on this composable.

onPointerEvent

@Stable



fun <T : UINode> Modifier.onPointerEvent(type: PointerEventType, onEvent: (T, PointerEvent) -> Unit): Modifier

Registers a handler for the given pointer type on this composable.

onScroll

@Stable



fun <T : UINode> Modifier.onScroll(global: Boolean = false, onScrollEvent: (T, ScrollEvent) -> Unit): Modifier

Registers a scroll event handler on this composable.

onSizeChanged

fun Modifier.onSizeChanged(onSizeChanged: (Size) -> Unit): Modifier

Notifies callback of any size changes to element.

padding

@Stable



fun Modifier.padding(all: Int = 0): Modifier

Adds uniform padding on all four sides.

@Stable



fun Modifier.padding(horizontal: Int = 0, vertical: Int = 0): Modifier

Adds symmetric horizontal and vertical padding.

@Stable



fun Modifier.padding(
    left: Int = 0, 
    right: Int = 0, 
    top: Int = 0, 
    bottom: Int = 0
): Modifier

Adds independent per-side padding inside this composable.

pressable

fun Modifier.pressable(
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource, 
    enabled: Boolean = true, 
    onPress: (UINode, Int) -> Unit
): Modifier

Emits PressInteraction and invokes onPress across a press - the net.kernelpanicsoft.archie equivalent of the press-recognition half of Compose Foundation's Modifier.clickable. Observe release via net.kernelpanicsoft.archie.gui.interaction.collectIsPressedAsState rather than a callback - onPress is kept only because, unlike hover, a press is inherently an action (the click itself), not just state to observe.

selectable

@Composable



fun Modifier.selectable(
    selected: Boolean, 
    enabled: Boolean = true, 
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }, 
    onClick: () -> Unit
): Modifier

size

@Stable



fun Modifier.size(width: Int, height: Int): Modifier

Sets an exact fixed size of width × height pixels.

@Stable



fun Modifier.size(size: Int): Modifier

    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }, 
    onValueChange: (Boolean) -> Unit
): Modifier

Marks this composable as a togglable boolean control (checkbox/switch) - the net.kernelpanicsoft.archie equivalent of Compose Foundation's Modifier.toggleable.

tooltip
