SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

KiteUI Development streamlines building Kotlin Multiplatform UIs by providing a reactive, native-component framework that reduces boilerplate and enforces consistent theming and navigation patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fine-grained reactivity through signals, remember, rememberSuspending and reactive blocks.
  • Rich layout system with containers (col, row, frame) and modifiers (expanding, scrolling, weight) for responsive designs.
  • Component library including text, inputs, buttons, icons, images, and theming primitives with semantic semantics.
  • Navigation, routing, and URL parameters via @Routable pages and pageNavigator for structured app flows.
  • Error handling and dialogs/bottom sheets that integrate with Actions for automatic loading and recovery.

Quick Start

Create a simple KiteUI page with a vertical column containing a heading and a button that triggers an action.

How do I build reactive Kotlin Multiplatform UIs for desktop and mobile?

Build reactive Kotlin Multiplatform UIs using KiteUI, which provides fine-grained reactivity through signals and reactive blocks to reduce boilerplate across desktop and mobile projects.

What is the best way to handle navigation and routing in a Kotlin Multiplatform app?

Handle navigation and routing in a Kotlin Multiplatform app using @Routable pages and pageNavigator, which support structured app flows and URL parameter management.

How do I create responsive layouts with Kotlin UI modifiers?

Create responsive layouts using KiteUI containers like col, row, and frame, combined with modifiers such as expanding, scrolling, and weight to adapt UI elements across screen sizes.

Does KiteUI support cross-platform theming for native components?

KiteUI supports cross-platform theming through native-component framework primitives with semantic semantics, enforcing consistent visual styles across desktop and mobile Kotlin projects.

How do I manage asynchronous state and loading actions in Kotlin UI development?

Manage asynchronous state and loading actions in Kotlin UI development using rememberSuspending and Action workflows, which integrate error handling and dialogs for automatic recovery.

Can I use dot notation modifiers for UI components in Kotlin?

You can use dot notation modifiers in Kotlin UI development with KiteUI to satisfy modular component usage requirements and apply styling or behavior adjustments efficiently.
