```kotlin
@Composable
fun ElevatedButton(
    onClick: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    shape: Shape = ButtonDefaults.elevatedShape,
    colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonColors(),
    elevation: ButtonElevation? = ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonElevation(),
    border: BorderStroke? = null,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = ButtonDefaults.ContentPadding,
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit,
) =
    Button(
        onClick = onClick,
        modifier = modifier,
        enabled = enabled,
        shape = shape,
        colors = colors,
        elevation = elevation,
        border = border,
        contentPadding = contentPadding,
        interactionSource = interactionSource,
        content = content,
    )
```


#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| onClick | called when this button is clicked |
| modifier | the `Modifier` to be applied to this button |
| enabled | controls the enabled state of this button. When `false`, this component will not respond to user input, and it will appear visually disabled and disabled to accessibility services. |
| shape | defines the shape of this button's container, border (when `border` is not null), and shadow (when using `elevation`) |
| colors | `ButtonColors` that will be used to resolve the colors for this button in different states. See `ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonColors`. |
| elevation | `ButtonElevation` used to resolve the elevation for this button in different states. This controls the size of the shadow below the button. Additionally, when the container color is `ColorScheme.surface`, this controls the amount of primary color applied as an overlay. See `ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonElevation`. |
| border | the border to draw around the container of this button |
| contentPadding | the spacing values to apply internally between the container and the content |
| 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. |
| content | The content displayed on the button, expected to be text, icon or image. |

    shapes: ButtonShapes,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,

    colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonColors(),
    elevation: ButtonElevation? = ButtonDefaults.elevatedButtonElevation(),
    border: BorderStroke? = null,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = ButtonDefaults.contentPaddingFor(ButtonDefaults.MinHeight),
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit,
) =
    Button(
        onClick = onClick,
        shapes = shapes,
        modifier = modifier,
        enabled = enabled,
        colors = colors,

    )
```


#### Parameters

| elevation | `ButtonElevation` used to resolve the elevation for this button in different states. This controls the size of the shadow below the button.
