@bmc08gt this example is amazing!

Hi, I'm trying to use this to implement swipe to delete in a LazyColumn item.
Where can I get the constraints for this modifier?
I tried to simply use Constraints but since in this case constraints.maxWidth is Constraints.Infinity, onDelete() is not trigger at all.
Setting a fix number using Constraints.fixedWidth() works but I want to make it fill the available width.

I would definitely try out https://gist.github.com/bmc08gt/fca95db3bf9fcf255d76f03ec10ea3f9. This gist was created before there was a first class modifier for this available and that one has better support.

Thank you. Using SwipeToDismiss is definitely easier.
