Hey. I want to call a ViewModel function only ONCE...

# compose

Hey. I want to call a ViewModel function only ONCE in a composable. e.g. viewModel.getMovies() It should not be called on re-composition. How do I achieve this?

You can do this in the init { } block in the ViewModel itself

[Jeff]

What if I cannot do it there? I share the ViewModel in multiple composables.

So to my understanding you are using different instances of ViewModel in different Composables, if so then the moviesList (which you are maintaining) will also be empty right

What about:

LaunchedEffect(viewModel) {
    viewModel.getMovies()
}

LaunchedEffect works great, thanks
