Hi there, I'm developing an app which has a similar architecture to the Now In Android app. The thing is, my NavHost is wrapped by a Navigation Drawer, and I would like to provide the item for that navigation drawer via a ViewModel. Would it be a good practice to have a ViewModel inside the app module, or should I rather create a new module exclusively for the Navigation Drawer?

Hi! What’s the reason you want a ViewModel to own that state?

The navigation items are retrieved from a repository which I need to inject so I inject the repository in a ViewModel

Ah! I see, yes, that ViewModel is fine to have it at the app level with Compose. It’ll be scoped to the View host (either Activity or Fragment)

So in that case it means the Content of the Navigation Drawer and the ViewModel should have their own module 🤔

oh! I think it’s fine if they’re part of the same

app

module

mmh unfortunately that would also mean having to implement various modules into

:app

though
