Its weird that there’s a BottomSheetScaffold but not a ModalBottomSheetScaffold 🤔 why is that? just the case of yet to be created?

You mean like the already existing ModalBottomSheetLayout? https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material/package-summary#ModalBottomSheetLayout(kotli[…]hics.Color,kotlin.Function0)

[Ian Lake]

Scaffolds are for coordinating multiple persistent components together. Modal sheets are, by definition, not persistent. Maybe what you're actually looking for is a ModalBottomSheetLayout with a regular Scaffold inside of it?

what would be considered as persistent? Just things on the screen? If thats the case then the BottomSheetScaffold supports drawer s which are almost like modal bottomsheets, but more like side sheets

Yes, in the sense it would use ModalBottomSheetLayout but provide it through a Scaffold

[Ian Lake]

You already have the components you need here: ModalBottomSheetLayout and Scaffold

[chatterInDaSkull]

You could technically say that about the Scaffold as well right? that you have the app bar and bottom bars all separately

[Ian Lake]

yep, a Column will do everything a Scaffold with only an app bar and bottom bar will give you

[Ian Lake]

It is when you want to start positioning FABs in relation to those elements, etc. that reaching for Scaffold makes those a lot easier
