Is there a reason why I shouldn’t put the SnackbarHostState in the ViewModel? Seems like an unnecessary dance to from event -> state -> lambda in compose -> snackbarhoststate (which internally converts the event into a state again) -> callback to viewmodel that the state was “consumed”.
Using viewModelScope to launch the snackbar would just suspend the launch call until the view is available it seems.. which is fine?

Just do it. It’s not uncommon to hoist some state holder classes up there, like TextFieldState for example.

the way I think about it is, "does the viewmodel need to know about this?" If so, put it in the viewmodel, otherwise leave it in the compostable usually as a stateholder.

Testing?

It will live behind an injected interface @Tobias Preuss so testing won’t be an issue

[Alex]

My intention is to avoid the dance from viewmodel -> state“event“ -> event -> back to state in snackbarhoststate

😶‍🌫️ I can't really judge. I have not used SnackbarHostState myself.

You will cross paths with it I promise you haha
