Hello everyone 👋 . I've been playing with SwipeToDismiss and swipeable/draggable and was wondering if there's a configuration I'm missing to completely disallow swiping in a certain direction? Currently I see we have in swipeable a resistanceConfig that you can define. This would make it hard to swipe on a certain side, but not impossible.

I have not used SwipeToDismiss but I see that it has this parameter: directions: Set<DismissDirection> = setOf(EndToStart, StartToEnd). Couldn't you just call it with directions = setOf(StartToEnd), for example?

[Chris Johnson]

Yep! That is what I'm currently doing except I use EndToStart. It still allows you to drag from StartToEnd it just doesn't allow it to be dismissed. There's also Resistance that basically indicates to the user that you can't swipe in the direction you don't specify. I'd like to get rid of the swipe altogether if you can't do it in that direction

I played around with this a bit (a good opportunity to learn something new about Compose -- thanks 🙂) and I could not find a solution either. (Sometimes the answer to these questions is "this is how Material works", but I did not readily find a definition for swiping to dismiss.)
