Are there considerations for exposing internal components/functions for building material components like

Switch

so we can build our own design components with less effort? Just like we have

BasicTextField

, I’m wondering if we could have something like

BasicSwitch

. Currently we resort to copy-pasting non-public components in order to easily build our own design. I’m wondering if this is the ideal way to move forward for such cases.

We generally expose such functions as public API if we found them to be useful in our own implementations, but don't go out of our way to artificially create such widgets. I don't think a

BasicSwitch

was ever needed/implemented, so we don't expose one. If you find that there is some private API which exists and is not exposed and you think would be valuable, please feel free to start a thread or open a bug and we can consider. That said, please do not be afraid of copy paste. For more details, see Sebastian Markbage's amazing talk here:

Ohh, interesting ^. Will check it out!
