How to load a localized string resource from a string

[buttifabio]

Question
Is it possibile to load a localized string without using the autogenerated MR.strings directly?
It would be nice to be able to do it directly in commonMain.

Use case
I have a fixed list of items with descriptions which are already localized in app and I receive the localization key from remote (API or push notification) and I would like to load the localized String.

Example
I have itemX_description key localizable from commonMain using MR.strings.itemX_description.localized().
From an API i receive the key itemY_description and I would like to retrieve the corresponding localized String but I can't find a way to easily do it.
I tried with StringDesc.Raw("itemY_description").toString(LocalContext.current) in a JetpackCompose environment but it returns simply itemY_description so I don't think the Raw path is the right one.
Should I use StringDesc.Resource but how can I convert my string to the StringResource?

hello. you can use for this case additional field of MR.strings - values

moko-resources/resources/src/commonMain/kotlin/dev/icerock/moko/resources/ResourceContainer.kt

Line 13 in 24778a2

fun values(): List<T>

but to find what StringResource should be used you need to implement your expect/actual.

i think better to create own map inside your app code that will map string key to StringResource object

Thank you Alex.

I can map my string key to StringResource objects manually if I need it on a limited number of items, otherwise it would be very time consuming to create that map.
I'm wondering if there's a way to do this automatically during the build phase of Moko.
