# Compose Sensors

This library is a thin wrapper around the [Android Sensor APIs](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview),
designed to make it easier to work with them in [Jetpack Compose](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose).

|-----------------------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------|

## Usage

### Dependency

In module `build.gralde.kts` file:

```kotlin
dependencies {
    implementation("dev.ricknout.composesensors:composesensors:$version")
}
```

The library is available via `mavenCentral()`. Versions can be found on the [releases page](https://github.com/ricknout/compose-sensors/releases).

### Core APIs

The core APIs provide composable access to the Android sensor framework classes:

```kotlin
// Get the SensorManager
val sensorManager = getSensorManager()

// Check if a certain type of sensor is available
val available = isSensorAvailable(type = Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)

// Get a sensor
val sensor = getSensor(type = Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)

// Remember a sensor value as State that updates as SensorEvents arrive
val sensorValue by rememberSensorValueAsState(type = Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) { event ->
    // Transform SensorEvents
}
```

### Per-sensor APIs

The per-sensor APIs build on the core APIs and provide convenience by:
* Not having to pass the sensor `type` parameter
* Handling the transformation of `SensorEvent`s for each type of sensor, by using the `SensorValue` class

```kotlin
// Check if accelerometer sensor is available
val available = isAccelerometerSensorAvailable()

// Get accelerometer sensor
val sensor = getAccelerometerSensor()

// Remember accelerometer sensor value as State that updates as SensorEvents arrive
val sensorValue by rememberAccelerometerSensorValueAsState()
// Accelerometer sensor values. Also available: sensorValue.timestamp, sensorValue.accuracy
val (x, y, z) = sensorValue.value
```

The following sensor types are available:

| Type                    | Availability                          | Sensor                        | Sensor value                                   |
