Need help/suggestion on what is the ideal way to deal with TabRow, Lists and HorizontalPager.

[Ahmed]

I have a

listOf("Tab 1", "Tab 2", "Tab 3")

Which I am using for a TabRow with a

HorizontalPager( .. ) { index ->
    when (index) {
        0 -> Tab1()
        1 -> Tab2()
        2 -> Tab3()
    }
}

My question is regarding the list of tabs (name of tabs). Where would I keep the list? Would a new list be created on every recomposition? Do I need to remember the list?

Also, there's a special case where I need to omit Tab 1. On that special case the result would look like

listOf("Tab 2", "Tab 3")
..
HorizontalPager( .. ) { index ->
    when (index) {
        0 -> Tab2()
        1 -> Tab3()
    }
}

Would a write a separate composable for this? What's the ideal way to deal with this? Would if-else be accepted?
