fun SearchBar(
state: SearchBarState,
inputField: @Composable () -> Unit,
modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
shape: Shape = SearchBarDefaults.inputFieldShape,
colors: SearchBarColors = SearchBarDefaults.colors(),
tonalElevation: Dp = SearchBarDefaults.TonalElevation,
shadowElevation: Dp = SearchBarDefaults.ShadowElevation,
)
Parameters
state | the state of the search bar. This state should also be passed to the inputField and the expanded search bar. |
inputField | the input field of this search bar that allows entering a query, typically a SearchBarDefaults.InputField . |
modifier | the Modifier to be applied to this search bar when collapsed. |
shape | the shape of this search bar when collapsed. |
colors | SearchBarColors that will be used to resolve the colors used for this search bar in different states. See SearchBarDefaults.colors . |
tonalElevation | when SearchBarColors.containerColor is ColorScheme.surface , a translucent primary color overlay is applied on top of the container. A higher tonal elevation value will result in a darker color in light theme and lighter color in dark theme. See also: Surface . |
shadowElevation | the elevation for the shadow below this search bar. |
