(#) CompositionLocals are discouraged !!! WARNING: CompositionLocals are discouraged This is a warning. Id : `ComposeCompositionLocalUsage` Summary : CompositionLocals are discouraged Severity : Warning Category : Productivity Platform : Any Vendor : slack Identifier : com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lints Feedback : https://github.com/slackhq/compose-lints/issues Min : Lint 8.7+ Compiled : Lint 8.7+ Artifact : [com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lint-checks](com_slack_lint_compose_compose-lint-checks.md.html) Since : 1.0.0 Affects : Kotlin and Java files and test sources Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor Implementation : [Source Code](https://github.com/slackhq/compose-lints/tree/main/compose-lint-checks/src/main/java/slack/lint/compose/CompositionLocalUsageDetector.kt) Tests : [Source Code](https://github.com/slackhq/compose-lints/tree/main/compose-lint-checks/src/test/java/slack/lint/compose/CompositionLocalUsageDetectorTest.kt) Copyright Year : 2023 `CompositionLocal`s are implicit dependencies and creating new ones should be avoided. See https://slackhq.github.io/compose-lints/rules/#compositionlocals for more information. (##) Options You can configure this lint checks using the following options: (###) allowed-composition-locals A comma-separated list of CompositionLocals that should be allowed. This property should define a comma-separated list of `CompositionLocal`s that should be allowed. Example `lint.xml`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers <lint> <issue id="ComposeCompositionLocalUsage"> <option name="allowed-composition-locals" value="some string" /> </issue> </lint> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text src/test.kt:2:Warning: `CompositionLocal`s are implicit dependencies and creating new ones should be avoided.

The above example was automatically extracted from the first unit test found for this lint check, `CompositionLocalUsageDetector.warning when a CompositionLocal is defined`. To report a problem with this extracted sample, visit https://github.com/slackhq/compose-lints/issues. (##) Including !!! This is not a built-in check. To include it, add the below dependency to your project. This lint check is included in the lint documentation, but the Android team may or may not agree with its recommendations. ``` // build.gradle.kts lintChecks("com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lint-checks:1.4.2") // build.gradle lintChecks 'com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lint-checks:1.4.2' // build.gradle.kts with version catalogs: lintChecks(libs.compose.lint.checks) # libs.versions.toml [versions] compose-lint-checks = "1.4.2" [libraries] # For clarity and text wrapping purposes the following declaration is # shown split up across lines, but in TOML it needs to be on a single # line (see https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/516) so adjust # when pasting into libs.versions.toml: compose-lint-checks = { module = "com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lint-checks", version.ref = "compose-lint-checks" } ``` 1.4.2 is the version this documentation was generated from; there may be newer versions available. [Additional details about com.slack.lint.compose:compose-lint-checks](com_slack_lint_compose_compose-lint-checks.md.html). (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing element: ```kt // Kotlin @Suppress("ComposeCompositionLocalUsage") fun method() { problematicStatement() } ``` or ```java // Java @SuppressWarnings("ComposeCompositionLocalUsage") void method() { problematicStatement(); } ``` * Using a suppression comment like this on the line above: ```kt //noinspection ComposeCompositionLocalUsage problematicStatement() ``` * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="ComposeCompositionLocalUsage" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'ComposeCompositionLocalUsage' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore ComposeCompositionLocalUsage ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
