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 QuickAddModal(onCreate: (String) -> Unit, onDismiss: () -> Unit) {
    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
    Dialog(onDismissRequest = onDismiss) {
        Surface(shape = MaterialTheme.shapes.extraLarge, tonalElevation = 4.dp) {
            Column(Modifier.padding(20.dp)) {
                Text("Add a task", style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleMedium)
                OutlinedTextField(
                    value = text,
                    onValueChange = { text = it },
                    placeholder = { Text("What needs doing?") },
                    singleLine = true,
                    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().padding(top = 12.dp),
                )
                Row(
                    Modifier.fillMaxWidth().padding(top = 12.dp),
                    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.End,
                ) {
                    TextButton(onClick = onDismiss) { Text("Cancel") }
                    Spacer(Modifier.width(4.dp))
                    Button(onClick = { onCreate(text) }, enabled = text.isNotBlank()) {
                        Text("Create")
                    }
                }
