Hi

is there a better way to use produceState and collectAsState?

val stateFlow by produceState<Flow<Stateable>>(initialValue = flowOf(InitialState), true) {

    value = viewModel.reduce(ActivitySearch)

}

val state by stateFlow.collectAsState(initial = InitialState)

in my composable?
is there an approach where i can combine the produceState with the collectAsState?

I’m not sure why you have the produceState at all, looks like you could just do:

remember(viewModel) { viewModel.reduce(…) }.collectAsState(…)

collectAsState just uses produceState under the hood though so you can always copy/paste the impl into your own code and modify it.

thanks very much for looking at this for me
this remember(viewModel) { viewModel.reduce(…) }.collectAsState(…)

works perfectly

i ended up with

val state by remember(viewModel) { viewModel.reduce(ActivitySearch) }.collectAsState(initial = InitialState)

the only thing i am unsure of is the remeber(viewmodel) part
