Overview

The desktop platform works under the hood with the oshi library to retrieve the information

API source

The information are retrievable using the DesktopInfo API:

Composable context

Retrieve a KInfoState instance inside composable context

val kInfoState = rememberKInfoState()

Non-composable context

Retrieve a KInfoState instance inside non-composable context

val kInfoState = KInfoState()

DesktopInfo

Retrieve a DesktopInfo instance from kInfoState instance

val desktopInfo = kInfoState.desktopInfo

Warning

You can directly retrieve desktopInfo just inside the desktopMain module, in the commonMain module you have to use the common usage instead, or the application will crash

O.E.M Mechanism

When a property is To Be Filled By O.E.M you can use the below mechanism to use other value instead that is not filled:

val computerSystem = desktopInfo.hardware.computerSystem

val model = computerSystem.model.whenIsToBeFilledByOEM(
    useInstead = {
        your custom logic
    }
)

You can just check also if a property is marked as To Be Filled By O.E.M with the below method:

val computerSystem = desktopInfo.hardware.computerSystem

val isModelToBeFilledByOEM = computerSystem.model.isToBeFilledByOEM()

if(isModelToBeFilledByOEM) {
    your custom logic
} else {
    your custom logic
}
