Using in your projects

Platform bindings:

dependencies { 
    implementation(platform("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-bom:2024.01.00"))
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind")
}

AndroidX library bindings:

dependencies { 
    implementation(platform("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-bom:2024.01.00"))
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-activity")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-appcompat")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-core")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-drawerlayout")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-fragment")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-leanback")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-lifecycle")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-navigation")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-recyclerview")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-slidingpanelayout")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-swiperefreshlayout")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-viewpager")
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-viewpager2")
}

Google 'material' library bindings:

dependencies { 
    implementation(platform("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-bom:2024.01.00"))
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-material")
}

Snapshot build:

repositories {
    maven("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
}

dependencies { 
    implementation(platform("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:corbind-bom:2024.02.00-SNAPSHOT"))
    implementation("ru.ldralighieri.corbind:{module}")
}

How to use it?

If you need to get a text change events of EditText widget, simple use case with cold Flow will look something like this:

findViewById<EditText>(R.id.etName)
    .textChanges() // Flow<CharSequence>
    .onEach { /* handle text change events */ }
    .flowWithLifecycle(lifecycle)
    .launchIn(lifecycleScope) // lifecycle-runtime-ktx

If you prefer hot ReceiveChannel and you need to get a ViewPager page selection events, then the use case will transform in something like this:

launch {
    findViewById<ViewPager>(R.id.vpSlides)
        .pageSelections(scope) // ReceiveChannel<Int>
        .consumeEach {
            /* handle ViewPager events */
        }
}

And if you just need to perform an action on button click, the easiest way will be:

launch {
    findViewById<AppCompatButton>(R.id.btConfirm)
        .clicks {
            /* perform an action on View click events */
        }
}

Just one more traditional example of login button enabling/disabling by email and password field validation:

combine(
    etEmail.textChanges() // Flow<CharSequence>
        .map { Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(it).matches() },

    etPassword.textChanges() // Flow<CharSequence>
        .map { it.length > 7 },

    transform = { email, password -> email && password }
)
    .onEach { btLogin.isEnabled = it }
    .flowWithLifecycle(lifecycle)
    .launchIn(lifecycleScope) // lifecycle-runtime-ktx
