I'm trying to migrate my android app to compose and I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make a drawer that opens with an AppBar button. I tried to set it through drawerContent in a scaffold, but that seems to use a dragging gesture instead of a button in the AppBar

this is how it looks in my android app, tapping the hamburger icon opens the drawer

nevermind, I added "hamburger" to my search and I found this that ended up working for me <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63738585/add-drawer-toggle-button-in-jetpack-compose>

In the Scaffold you can disable the drawer gesture and only open it with an a button or some action

I just tried that with `drawerGesturesEnabled = false`, but now I can't close the drawer by tapping off the drawer. Is it possible to disable dragging the drawer open without disabling closing it with a tap?

Yes you can intercept a tap, click, touch any gesture and simply send some callback, flow or event to the composable. There you can control the state if the drawer 

oh, apparently you can do it just by setting it as `drawerGesturesEnabled = scaffoldState.drawerState.isOpen`
