Compose Multiplatform: Material 3 Window Size Class

The Material 3 Window size classes are a set of opinionated breakpoints, the window size at which a layout needs to change to match available space, device conventions, and ergonomics. All devices fall into one of three Material Design window size classes: compact, medium, or expanded. Rather than designing for an ever increasing number of display states, focusing on window class sizes ensures layouts work across a range of devices.

The androidx.compose.material3:material3-window-size-class library is available for Jetpack Compose, but it is not currently available for Compose Multiplatform. This library changes that, by providing the WindowSizeClass for many of the platforms supported by Compose Multiplatform.

Platform	Supported	Sample
Android	✅	android-app
iOS	✅	ios-app
Desktop (JVM)	✅	desktop-app
Web	✅ (experimental)	web-js-app web-wasm-app

Usage

Usage is very simple:

import androidx.compose.material3.windowsizeclass.calculateWindowSizeClass

@Composable
fun MyApplication() {
    val windowSizeClass = calculateWindowSizeClass()

    // Example of how to change the font size based on the screen width
    val fontSize = when (windowSizeClass.widthSizeClass) {
        WindowWidthSizeClass.Compact -> 16.sp
        WindowWidthSizeClass.Medium -> 24.sp
        else -> 30.sp
    }

    Column( /* ... */) {  
        Box (/* ... */){
            Image (/* ... */)
            Text (fontSize = fontSize)
        }
    }
}

You'll note that I have kept the package name the same as that in AndroidX. This is to enable easy migration for when support is added to Compose Multiplatform (tracking issue).
