Installation

caveui components are copy-paste Jetpack Compose built entirely on Material 3 — there's no caveui dependency to add. Make sure Material 3 is on your classpath (it ships with the Compose BOM), then copy the Usage snippet below into your project.

kotlin

// build.gradle.kts (module)
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:2025.06.00"))
    implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3")
}

Usage

kotlin

@Composable
fun CaretTooltip(text: String) {
    Column(horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally) {
        Surface(
            color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.inverseSurface,
            contentColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.inverseOnSurface,
            shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp),
            shadowElevation = 3.dp,
        ) {
            Text(
                text,
                Modifier.padding(horizontal = 10.dp, vertical = 6.dp),
                style = MaterialTheme.typography.labelMedium,
            )
        }
        Canvas(Modifier.size(12.dp, 6.dp)) {
            val path = Path().apply {
                moveTo(0f, 0f); lineTo(size.width, 0f)
                lineTo(size.width / 2, size.height); close()
            }
            drawPath(path, color = Color(0xFF1C1B1F))
        }
    }
}
