@Composable
fun CompactButton(
    onClick: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    onLongClick: (() -> Unit)? = null,
    onLongClickLabel: String? = null,
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    shape: Shape = CompactButtonDefaults.shape,
    colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors(),
    border: BorderStroke? = null,
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = CompactButtonDefaults.ContentPadding,
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null,
    transformation: SurfaceTransformation? = null,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit
): Unit

Base level Wear Material3 CompactButton that offers a single slot to take any content.

For a compact button with a predefined layout that applies Material3 UX guidelines to the icon and label, see the overload of CompactButton with those parameters.

The CompactButton is Stadium shaped and has a max height designed to take no more than one line of text and/or one icon. The default max height is CompactButtonDefaults.Height. This includes a visible button height of 32.dp and 8.dp of padding above and below the button in order to meet accessibility guidelines that request a minimum of 48.dp height and width of tappable area.

CompactButton takes the ButtonDefaults.buttonColors color scheme by default, with colored background, contrasting content color and no border. This is a high-emphasis button for the primary, most important or most common action on a screen.

Other recommended ButtonColors for different levels of emphasis are: ButtonDefaults.filledTonalButtonColors, ButtonDefaults.outlinedButtonColors and ButtonDefaults.childButtonColors.

CompactButton can be enabled or disabled. A disabled button will not respond to click events.

    },
)

Parameters
`onClick: () -> Unit`	Will be called when the user clicks the button
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	Modifier to be applied to the button
`onLongClick: (() -> Unit)? = null`	Called when this button is long clicked (long-pressed). When this callback is set, `onLongClickLabel` should be set as well.
`onLongClickLabel: String? = null`	Semantic / accessibility label for the `onLongClick` action.
`enabled: Boolean = true`	Controls the enabled state of the button. When `false`, this button will not be clickable.
`shape: Shape = CompactButtonDefaults.shape`	Defines the button's shape. It is strongly recommended to use the default as this shape is a key characteristic of the Wear Material3 Theme
`colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors()`	`ButtonColors` that will be used to resolve the background and content color for this button in different states. See `ButtonDefaults.buttonColors`.
`border: BorderStroke? = null`	Optional `BorderStroke` that will be used to resolve the border for this button in different states.
`contentPadding: PaddingValues = CompactButtonDefaults.ContentPadding`	The spacing values to apply internally between the container and the content
`interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null`	an optional hoisted `MutableInteractionSource` for observing and emitting `Interaction`s for this button. You can use this to change the button's appearance or preview the button in different states. Note that if `null` is provided, interactions will still happen internally.
`transformation: SurfaceTransformation? = null`	Transformation to be used when button appears inside a container that needs to dynamically change its content separately from the background.
`content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit`	Slot for composable body content displayed on the CompactButton

    label: (@Composable RowScope.() -> Unit)? = null
): Unit

A Wear Material3 CompactButton that offers two slots and a specific layout for an icon and label. Both the icon and label are optional however it is expected that at least one will be provided.

For a compact button with a single content slot, see the overload of CompactButton with a content parameter.

If an icon is provided then the labels should be "start" aligned, e.g. left aligned in left-to-right mode so that the text starts next to the icon.

The items are laid out as follows.

If a label is provided then the button will be laid out with the optional icon at the start of a row followed by the label with a default max height of CompactButtonDefaults.Height.
If only an icon is provided it will be laid out vertically and horizontally centered with a default height of CompactButtonDefaults.Height and the default width of CompactButtonDefaults.IconOnlyWidth

If neither icon nor label is provided then the button will be displayed like an icon only button but with no contents or background color.

Other recommended ButtonColors for different levels of emphasis are: ButtonDefaults.filledTonalButtonColors, ButtonDefaults.outlinedButtonColors and ButtonDefaults.childButtonColors.

CompactButton can be enabled or disabled. A disabled button will not respond to click events.

import androidx.compose.ui.semantics.semantics
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.Button
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.CompactButton
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.Text

    onLongClickLabel = "Long click",
    label = { Text("Long clickable") },
    modifier =
        modifier.semantics {
            // Also override the 'click label' to say 'Double tap to press' instead of
            // the usual 'Double tap to activate'.
            onClick("press") { false }
        },
)

Parameters
`onClick: () -> Unit`	Will be called when the user clicks the button
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	Modifier to be applied to the button
`onLongClick: (() -> Unit)? = null`	Called when this button is long clicked (long-pressed). When this callback is set, `onLongClickLabel` should be set as well.
`onLongClickLabel: String? = null`	Semantic / accessibility label for the `onLongClick` action.
`icon: (@Composable BoxScope.() -> Unit)? = null`	A slot for providing the button's icon. The contents are expected to be a horizontally and vertically center-aligned icon of size `CompactButtonDefaults.ExtraSmallIconSize` when used with a label or `CompactButtonDefaults.SmallIconSize` when used as the only content in the button.
`enabled: Boolean = true`	Controls the enabled state of the button. When `false`, this button will not be clickable.
`shape: Shape = CompactButtonDefaults.shape`	Defines the button's shape. It is strongly recommended to use the default as this shape is a key characteristic of the Wear Material3 Theme
`colors: ButtonColors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors()`	`ButtonColors` that will be used to resolve the background and content color for this button in different states. See `ButtonDefaults.buttonColors`.
`border: BorderStroke? = null`	Optional `BorderStroke` that will be used to resolve the border for this button in different states.
`contentPadding: PaddingValues = CompactButtonDefaults.ContentPadding`	The spacing values to apply internally between the container and the content
`interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null`	an optional hoisted `MutableInteractionSource` for observing and emitting `Interaction`s for this button. You can use this to change the button's appearance or preview the button in different states. Note that if `null` is provided, interactions will still happen internally.
`transformation: SurfaceTransformation? = null`	Transformation to be used when button appears inside a container that needs to dynamically change its content separately from the background.
`label: (@Composable RowScope.() -> Unit)? = null`	A slot for providing the button's main label. By default, CompactButton applies Material3 UX guidelines, so that `Text` will be start aligned if there is an `icon` present and center aligned if not, with ellipsis for overflow and maximum 1 line (although this can be overridden by setting those parameters explicitly on `Text`).
