Is it ok to set state type as a lambda? (MutableState<(() -> Unit)?>)

I've been thinking about doing some kind of "confirmation dialog decorator" (confirmation or other, e.g. "request pin") for some user actions. It would be used like

var confirmationDialog: (() -> Unit)? by remember {
    mutableStateOf(null)
}

if (confirmationDialog != null) {

    Dialog(onOk = {
        confirmationDialog?.invoke()
        confirmationDialog = null
    }, onCancel = {
        confirmationDialog = null
    })
}

SaveButton(
  onClick = requireConfirmation { theRealSave() }
)

Is it too hacky? Any issue other issue?

yea that’s fine, you can always create a type alias or fun interface if you find the function type to be too cryptic

thanks. it works, but feels strange.

It's perfectly fine to put lambdas in MutableState, that's how I bridge coroutines reliant UI abstractions with state driven composables.
