How to clear textfield value in Jetpack Compose?

Question

I've developed a textInput composable with a trailing icon, and I'd like to clear the textInput when the icon is clicked. How can I access the textInput value, so that I can clear it?

    @Composable
fun TextInput(
    myVal: String,
    label: String,
    placeholder: String="",
    helperText: String="",
    errorText: String="",
    onValueChange : (String) -> Unit){
    val hasError = !errorText.isNullOrEmpty()
    val helperColor =  if (hasError)
        Color(0xFFfe392f)
        else
            Color(0xFF5c6a79)

    Row() {
            Column() {
                TextField(
                    colors = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors(
                        backgroundColor = Color.Transparent,
                        textColor = Color(0xFF011e41),
                        cursorColor = Color(0xFF011e41),
                        focusedLabelColor = Color(0xFF011e41),
                        unfocusedLabelColor = Color(0xFF011e41),
                        unfocusedIndicatorColor = Color(0xFFebeced),
                        focusedIndicatorColor = Color(0xFF011e41),
                        errorCursorColor = Color(0xFFfe392f),
                        errorIndicatorColor = Color(0xFFfe392f),
                        errorLabelColor = Color(0xFFfe392f)
                    ),
                    value = myVal,
                    onValueChange = onValueChange,
                    label = { Text(label) },
                    placeholder = { Text(placeholder) },
                    isError = hasError,
                    trailingIcon = {Icon(Icons.Filled.Email, contentDescription = "sdsd", modifier = Modifier.offset(x= 10.dp).clickable {
                       //What should I do here?
                    })}
                )

                Text(
                    modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp),
                    text = if (hasError) errorText else helperText,
                    fontSize = 12.sp,
                    color = helperColor,
                )
            }
    }
}

it's used like this:

var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
                    TextInput(myVal = text, label = "label", helperText = "", errorText = "my error") {text = it}

You can use the trailingIcon attribute with a custom clickable modifier.
Something like:

var text by rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf("") }

TextField(
    value = text,
    onValueChange = { text = it },
    trailingIcon = {
        Icon(Icons.Default.Clear,
            contentDescription = "clear text",
            modifier = Modifier
                .clickable {
                    text = ""
                }
        )
    }
)

If you are using a TextFieldValue:

val content = "content"
var text by rememberSaveable(stateSaver = TextFieldValue.Saver) {
    mutableStateOf(TextFieldValue(content))
}

TextField(
    value = text,
    onValueChange = { text = it },
    trailingIcon = {
        Icon(Icons.Default.Clear,
            contentDescription = "clear text",
            modifier = Modifier
                .clickable {
                    text = TextFieldValue("")
                }
        )
    }
)
