How to set the Scaffold Drawer Width in JetpackCompose?

Question

We can have Navigation Drawer in JetpackCompose by using Scaffold as below

Scaffold(
    drawerContent = { Text(text ="Drawer") }
) {}

I want to make the width of the drawer smaller. How can I do so?

Answer 1

You can modify the shape (including width and height) using drawerShape parameter in Scaffold method.

So for instance

 Scaffold(
    scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
    drawerContent = { Text("Drawer content") },
    drawerShape = customShape(),
    content = {inner padding -> /* Body*/}
)

Then your customShape function

fun customShape() =  object : Shape {
    override fun createOutline(
        size: Size,
        layoutDirection: LayoutDirection,
        density: Density
        ): Outline {
            return Outline.Rectangle(Rect(0f,0f,100f /* width */, 131f /* height */))
     }
 }

You can also use Outline.Rounded to get rounded corners
