Not sure what's going wrong, but I'm trying to use a

BasicTextField

, e.g.

@Composable
fun MyTextfield() {
  BasicTextField(
    value = "",
    onValueChange = { },
    minLines = 2,
    modifier = Modifier
      .fillMaxWidth()
      .background(Color.LightGray)
  )
}

And when run, the application doesn't let me type in that text field. Am I missing a step?

The new

BasicTextField

will let you do something like this:

val text = rememberTextFieldState()
BasicTextField(text)

but you’ll still have to pass something in – otherwise there’d be no way to actually know what the text is

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] that looks good. I think the problem is the function signature, which isn't explicit enough in what it expects to be done. If the argument is a state, it's perfectly clear what you need to do, no docs needed
