Can anyone suggest strategies for handling  `TextField` data in a ViewModel that is shared between Compose and non-Compose targets?

When it was Compose-only, I was using `MutableState`. There's no validation done while changing values. I'm thinking to use a `MutableStateFlow` to get the initial values and only pass them back to the VM when submitting the form.

You can use the MutableState from compose in non-compose-ui targets without depending on any of compose ui too, if you want. 

I don't think that I should bring the compose dependency in my JS target. Maybe I can expect/actual my way around this? I've read that collecting the state of `MutableStateFlow` like `.collectAsState(Dispacters.Main.immediate)` should avoid any async issues. Do you know if that's true?

That doesn’t prevent you from introducing asynchrony into your flow in other ways. Eg some standard flow operators do this sneakily. 

Thanks. My usage is really simple. The values are loaded by the VM initially, then only modified by the TextField. Then they're read by the VM when the user hits a submit button.
