ConstraintLayout: making the transition to Compose
summary
ConstraintLayout for Compose ships as a Kotlin-first API (available as 1.1 alpha 3) and pairs with MotionLayout to animate finite-state UIs; examples include a calculator with 10 states, a carousel and a mail item that all run in the Compose preview. Constraints accept modifier DSL, ConstraintSet objects or json5 live edit for instant Studio previews. MotionLayout handles swipe springs, staggered paths and custom properties; the library is experimental (alpha 0.3) but the demos work end to end.
