I want to group two related components that are part of ConstraintLayout to a separate @Composable function. Currently I was planning to borrow the constraints from parent layout through Modifier type parameter.

@Composable
fun CustomGroup(
    <required-fields>,
    ...,
    firstComponentModifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    secondComponentModifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    ...,
    <other optional fields>
) { ... }

This seems to be working for me but the linter gives this error warning: “Modifier parameter should be named modifier”. I think my use-case is valid and we shouldn’t restrict modifier name to be modifier only or we should make ConstrainedLayoutReferences class public so that I could pass it on as parameter to other function

error or warning? You can just supress it

[Kshitij Patil]

Yeah it was warning but I felt that warning itself is not necessary or I’d like to know why is it so?

We might be missing some context here but I think it’s more “compose” to pass both your Composables as parameters instead of the modifiers

Well, even Compose itself uses multiple modifiers on some places. I think it's completely fine to suppress the warning just like in i.e. DropdowMenu.

Which part of ConstrainedLayoutReferences isn't public?
