contentType

Modifier in Compose Ui

Set autofill hint with [contentType].

This applies the [contentType] to the modifier's semantics, in turn enabling autofill and marking the hint to be associated with this composable. This allows autofill frameworks to provide relevant suggestions to users.

Using contentType is equivalent to simply setting the contentType semantic property, i.e. Modifier.contentType(ContentType.NewUsername) is equivalent to setting Modifier.semantics { contentType = ContentType.NewUsername }.
