ModalDrawer
Composable Component
Modal navigation drawers block interaction with the rest of an app’s content with a scrim. They are elevated above most of the app’s UI and don’t affect the screen’s layout grid.

Common
@Composable
fun ModalDrawer(
drawerContent: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit,
modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
drawerState: DrawerState = rememberDrawerState(DrawerValue.Closed),
gesturesEnabled: Boolean = true,
drawerShape: Shape = DrawerDefaults.shape,
drawerElevation: Dp = DrawerDefaults.Elevation,
drawerBackgroundColor: Color = DrawerDefaults.backgroundColor,
drawerContentColor: Color = contentColorFor(drawerBackgroundColor),
scrimColor: Color = DrawerDefaults.scrimColor,
content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

modifier | optional modifier for the drawer |
drawerState | state of the drawer |
