Syntax
Default values used by SyntaxHighlightedTextEditor and rememberSyntaxHighlightedEditorValue.
Singletons here let parameter defaults reference a pre-allocated value instead of constructing a fresh instance per call. For composables that recompose on every keystroke (the editor), this avoids minor GC pressure during the worst possible time - while the user is typing.
Usage
// Build on top of the default text style without re-declaring fontFamily.
val myEditorStyle = SyntaxHighlightedTextEditorDefaults.DefaultTextStyle.copy(fontSize = 15.sp)
SyntaxHighlightedTextEditor(
value = editorValue,
onValueChange = { editorValue = it },
language = "kotlin",
textStyle = myEditorStyle,
)Properties
Default debounce window in milliseconds after the last keystroke before the editor triggers a new highlight call. 150 ms is a balance between responsiveness and avoiding unnecessary WebView calls on fast typists.
Default TextStyle for the editor: monospace family. Pre-allocated singleton so the editor's textStyle parameter default does not allocate a fresh TextStyle per recomposition. Callers can copy(...) this to derive customised styles.
