## API Reference

> Source set: Common

```kotlin
public interface NestedStyleProviderStyleScope
```

A scope that allows providing a nested style that will be read and used by a nested styleable
composable function.

[NestedStyleProviderStyleScope](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/interfaces/NestedStyleProviderStyleScope/api) is implemented by [CommonStyleScope](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/interfaces/CommonStyleScope/api), but a [CustomStyle](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/interfaces/CustomStyle/api) may
choose to prevent arbitrary keys from being provided by defining a style scope that excludes this
interface.

## Functions

public fun provideNestedStyle(key: NestedStyleKey, style: CommonStyle)
