Hello! I'm currently really struggling with how to properly manage state in Compose. For example, I currently have this code below:

data class PointPath(
    val pathPoints: List<PathPoint>,
) {
    fun smoothPath(): PointPath { ... }
}

I made the data class immutable since recompositing isn't triggered when the list is updated and made it so anything that modifies it returns a copy (ex. smoothPath ). However, this feels very cumbersome since I need to manually update the state with the returned copy. Is there a more effective way to do this, especially when it comes to handling the state when object properties change?

Either turn the List into one backed with state objects by using mutableStateListOf, or just do a .copy on your object each time it changes, I think those are your options
