Another question about the new `SavedStateHandle.saveable` API, is there an equivalent to
```val argArticleId = savedStateHandle.getStateFlow(ArticleArgKey, -1)```
that return a State ?
I tried with `.saveable(ArticleArgKey)`  but it seems the return value is a Bundle instead of a Long... (in my case)

If you have a StateFlow, you call collectAsState() to make it into State. That is true for SavedStateHandle and for any other StateFlow.

yes for collectAsState(), but I meant more as having directly a State in the ViewModel

I’m starting to use more and more MutableState in my ViewModels instead of StateFlow and... I kinda like it :smile:

You have the SavedStateHandle itself in the ViewModel, you don't need a StateFlow or State for working with that

Maybe you could explain what you're trying to do?

well nothing really interesting :smile:
basically, here is a sample viewmodel :
```@HiltViewModel
class MyViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : ViewModel() {
    val someItemId: StateFlow&lt;Long&gt; = savedStateHandle.getStateFlow(ItemIdArg, -1L)

    /**
     * Some State
     */
    var someState: SomeState by mutableStateOf(SomeState())
        private set

    /**
     * Some state for the UI
     */
    var someSavedState: SomeState by savedStateHandle.saveable(key = "SomeState", stateSaver = SomeState.Saver, init = {
        mutableStateOf(
            SomeState()
        )
    })
        private set
}```
We can expose the state either through `mutableStateOf` directly, or use the new `saveable` api to get it saved in the `SavedStateHandle`/`rememberSaveable`

now my Screen receive an arg through Navigation, let’s say a `detailId`;
You can get this arg using simply `handle.getStateFlow(ArgKey)`
and I was wondering if there was a similar helper that returns a Compose `State&lt;&gt;` / `MutableState&lt;&gt;`
(so we can use it directly from a `Composable`, or use it in the `ViewModel`, the same as the `SomeState` I have)

trying to TLDR : we can listen/get `NavArgs` through `SavedStateHandle` with `LiveData`/`StateFlow`, and I was wondering if there was a similar api for `State`/`MutableState`

Args you get from Navigation should be considered a static values (they are part of the identity of what screen you're on), so using StateFlow or anything is already unnecessary - just a single get is enough
