title: "contentType"
description: "Set autofill hint with [contentType].

This applies the [contentType] to the modifier's semantics, in turn enabling autofill and marking
the hint to be associated with this composable. This allows autofill frameworks to provide
relevant suggestions to users.

Using `contentType` is equivalent to simply setting the `contentType` semantic property, i.e.
`Modifier.contentType(ContentType.NewUsername)` is equivalent to setting `Modifier.semantics {
contentType = ContentType.NewUsername }`."
