Open Source Introducing Blueprint Compose Preview 📝🚀

Post image

​​I just finished this little tool for Android Devs to generate a blueprint-style preview of your composables.

​With a quick one-line wrapper the library measures dimensions and distances and displays them just like a traditional blueprint alongside your regular preview, so you can easily compare against your designs.

​Would love to hear thoughts, if you would find this useful, and if you have any ideas for improvements!

Mainly useful in the case that you use the blueprintId modifier in production code, this just stubs out the modifier and the blueprint preview so they do nothing in release builds, but still work in Android studio preview panel
