hello guys. I am retrieving a signed-in user from room database with the intention of updating views in compose. how should i store the user? I have tried remember{} but am getting the error: Required:
MutableState<User.Companion>
Found:
User

var user by  rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(User) }

val systemUiController = rememberSystemUiController()
SideEffect {
    systemUiController.setStatusBarColor(
        color = PrimaryColor
    )
}

LaunchedEffect(key1 = context){
    viewModel.userResults.collect{ event ->
        when(event){
            is Resource.Success ->{
                  event.data?.let {// user from room database
                     user = it // It throws an error here
                 }
            }
            is Resource.Error ->{
                Toast.makeText(context, event.message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }

    }

If you show the type of var user explicitly you’ll see that it’s of type User.Companion since you’re initializing it as such when you do mutableStateOf(User).
You have to decide what the type of user will be first. If you want it to be a nullable User object maybe you want to do var user by rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf<User?>(null) }.

I got a way around it. My problem was in the viewModel. I was using channels instead of mutableStateFlow so that i could collectAsFlow on the composable. Had to dig deep to understand to type of flows.Thanks for comming through.
