Kinda dumb question, but isn't there an option to make the Edit Text required (must be inputted). I figured it would be available in the layout designer but it's not. I understand that it can be done programmatically but still. This seems like a basic function, I might've missed something, if not is there a feature request or a library or something? Thanks in advance!
did google no results related to what i wrote above.

There’s support for this in Google’s Material library:

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

But this is Compose right? how does the Material Design Spec solve the Compose question?

Why do you think it's Compose?

[codeslubber]

Oh I guess it’s not, I have been using All Unreads lately and thought it was in the Compose group.. nm

EditText is a “legacy” concept, it’s called TextField in Compose

[codeslubber]

Yeah I have done both. I just thought maybe there was some example code of doing required fields in Compose, though it’s probably not hard. Was doing a piece today with 2 buttons and was hoping to have a lambda for whether the button was enabled. Did not find one.
