does hiltViewModel() supports @Assisted constructor attributes now? Or does one still need to use a factory with @AssistedFactory ?

You need to use factory, unless you're passing arguments they can be obtained through the savedStateHandle

[jean]

yes I’m reading about it in here https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/2287. I just need an id, so I guess I’ll be fine with savedStateHandle

[FunkyMuse]

Yeap you will be fine

[jean]

I getting a bit stuck there though :

val viewModel by viewModel(
    factory = MyViewModel.provideFactory(...),
)

How do I get an instance of AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory from a composable function? Since I cannot do `

@Inject
lateinit var plantDetailViewModelFactory: PlantDetailViewModelFactory

like from an activity or a component?

This might help you

I figured it out, I can simply use hiltViewModel() and navigation arguments are directly passed to the handle. That’s really nice but a bit confusing to understand 🙂

Yeah. I think I filed a bug about this so the docs would be updated but I dont think I got any traction.

[Colton Idle]

took me way too long to realize it just works. lol

I think there is a Memory leak with using @Assisted with HiltViewModel . not sure if they have resolved that issue yet
