Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Text is the Compose version of our old and beloved TextView."

A block of code is set as follows:

@Composable 
fun FriendlyMessage(name: String) { 
   Text(text = "Greetings $name!") 
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block meaning that a portion of code has been added or modified, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

@Composable 
fun ColoredBox() { 
   Box(modifier = Modifier.size(120.dp)) 
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

npm install component_name

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "In the Phone and tablet template section, select Empty Compose Activity and then choose Next."
