ComposeInvestigator

Trace the recomposition of a Composable with its cause without boilerplate code 😎.

This tool was initiated for personal learning and has not been proven necessary for production. However, it can perform the following tasks:

  • Reports if a Composable is skipped during recomposition.
  • Reports if the arguments of a Composable have changed and been recomposed. It can also compare the values before and after the change.
  • Reports if the state values inside a Composable have been modified. It can also compare the values before and after the change.
  • Retrieves the call stack leading up to the invocation of a Composable. This helps identify the specific Composable being recomposed when the same Composable is reused in multiple places.

Next release schedule: Released when Kotlin 2.1.0 is stable


Getting Started gradle-plugin-version

Just add the plugin to your module-level Gradle like this:

plugins {
  id 'in.sungb.composeinvestigator' version '<version>'
}

Important

ComposeInvestigator is heavily dependent on the Kotlin version. So the version of ComposeInvestigator follows the format [Kotlin Version - ComposeInvestigator Version].

You don't need to use any APIs to get started. But if you're looking for a fancier experience, consider using the runtime API.

Comprehensive documentation for ComposeInvestigator is available on project website.
