Stately is a state utility library to facilitate state management in Kotlin Multiplatform. It was originally written to facilitate development with the strict Kotlin/Native memory model. As of Kotlin 1.7.20, the strict model is deprecated, and the releveant modules of Stately have also been deprecated but are still published and available.
Stately currently provides concurrencly primitives and concurrent collections.
stately-concurrency includes some concurrency support classes. These include a set of Atomicxxx classes, a Lock, a ThreadLocal container, a Synchronizable type, and a class ThreadRef that allows you to hold a thread id.
Much of the functionality of this module is similar to atomic-fu. They differ in some ways, so while they both cover much of the same ground, Stately's version still has some use.
ThreadRef is unique to Stately. It allows you to capture a reference to the id of the thread in which it was created, and ask if the current thread is the same. Just FYI, it does not keep a reference to the actual thread. Just an id. Usage looks like this:
fun useRef(){
val threadRef = ThreadRef()
threadRef.same() // <- true
backgroundThread {
threadRef.same() // <- false
}
}
The Synchronizable type allows us to use the JVM's synchronized but in common, and with Kotlin/Native which doesn't natively support it.
class MyMutableData(private var count: Int = 0) : Synchronizable() {
fun add() {
synchronize { count++ }
}
val myCount: Int
get() = synchronize { count }
}
Your type should extend Synchronizable, which on the JVM is typealiased to Any. Then you can use synchronize as in the example above.
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("co.touchlab:stately-concurrency:2.0.0")
}
}
A set of relatively simple mutable collections that are thread safe.
val list = ConcurrentMutableList<Int>()
val list.add(42)
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("co.touchlab:stately-concurrent-collections:2.0.0")
}
}
