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 😄 .
