hi, when using this pattern
class LoginViewModel : ViewModel() {

    val registeredUsers = mutableStateListOf<UIRegisteredUser>()
in the view model 1. Is there way to protect this registeredUsers list from updating the object values from other than view model ? I'm tryting to avoid accidental modification these values from out side view model, trying to keep vm as single source of truth.

you can use
private set
on it, that way only the LoginViewModel will be allowed to change it.

If you expose the
mutableStateListOf
from the
ViewModel
as just a normal
List
instead of a
MutableList
, then anything outside of the
ViewModel
won’t be able to change the list.

Whoops, I didn’t read the next thread. Glad to see the same conclusion there 😄 .
