@Casey Brooks I'm upgrading from v2 to v4 and I used to have an interceptor which used

BallastNotification.ViewModelStarted

to send an initial input to the view model queue. What would the replacement be now that there is no

ViewModelStarted

option. I see

ViewModelStatusChanged

, and I can do

if (it.status == Status.Running)

but I see that

Status.Running

is in an internal package. Is there a better approach now?

notificationFlow.awaitViewModelStart()

is what you should be using. It does exactly what you described https://github.com/copper-leaf/ballast/blob/main/ballast-api/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/copperleaf/ballast/utils.kt#L276

Like this?

launch(start = CoroutineStart.UNDISPATCHED) {
      notifications.awaitViewModelStart()
      val initialInput = initialInputFn()
      sendToQueue(Queued.HandleInput(null, initialInput))
    }

Yup, that’s exactly right. But even better, you can just use

BootstrapInterceptor

if that’s all you’re doing with the interceptor https://github.com/copper-leaf/ballast/blob/main/ballast-utils/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/copperleaf/ballast/core/BootstrapInterceptor.kt

Oh nice, thank you.
