Jetpack Compose - Show trailingIcon in BasicTextField?

TextField has way too much padding by default for the screen I'm building, so I'm forced to use BasicTextField (see: this post on default TextField padding)

The problem is, BasicTextField doesn't take in a trailingIcon parameter. Is there a way to get around this?

Starting with 1.2.0 you can use the TextFieldDecorationBox with the BasicTextField. Here you can use the trailingIcon and contentPadding attributes:

BasicTextField(
    value = value,
    onValueChange = onValueChange,        
    interactionSource = interactionSource,
    enabled = enabled,
    singleLine = singleLine
) {
    TextFieldDefaults.TextFieldDecorationBox(
        value = value,
        innerTextField = it,
        singleLine = singleLine,
        enabled = enabled,
        visualTransformation = VisualTransformation.None,
        trailingIcon = { /* ... */ },
        interactionSource = interactionSource,
        contentPadding = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldWithoutLabelPadding(
               //...top = 0.dp, bottom = 0.dp
        )
    )
}
