and cards. In cards, text buttons help maintain an emphasis on card content.

```kotlin
@Composable
fun TextButton(
    onClick: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null,
    elevation: ButtonElevation? = null,
    shape: Shape = MaterialTheme.shapes.small,
    border: BorderStroke? = null,
    colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.textButtonColors(),
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = ButtonDefaults.TextButtonContentPadding,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit,
) =
    Button(
        onClick = onClick,
        modifier = modifier,
        enabled = enabled,
        interactionSource = interactionSource,
        elevation = elevation,
        shape = shape,

```


#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| onClick | Will be called when the user clicks the button |
| modifier | Modifier to be applied to the button |
| enabled | Controls the enabled state of the button. When `false`, this button will not be clickable |
| interactionSource | an optional hoisted `MutableInteractionSource` for observing and emitting `Interaction`s for this button. You can use this to change the button's appearance or preview the button in different states. Note that if `null` is provided, interactions will still happen internally. |
| elevation | `ButtonElevation` used to resolve the elevation for this button in different states. A TextButton typically has no elevation, see `Button` for a button with elevation. |
| shape | Defines the button's shape as well as its shadow |
| border | Border to draw around the button |
| colors | `ButtonColors` that will be used to resolve the background and content color for this button in different states. See `ButtonDefaults.textButtonColors`. |
| contentPadding | The spacing values to apply internally between the container and the content |
| content | The content displayed on the button, expected to be text. |
