What is the preferred approach - pass `ViewModel`...

# compose

[ms]

What is the preferred approach
• pass ViewModel as a param to the composable
• use Koin to inject ViewModel
Can you point out pros & cons also because I don't see much of a difference

The latest video explains one approach in doing both - pass it in as a parameter, but include a default value for the ViewModel that pulls from Koin, Hilt, etc.:

So in any case, we can provide the ViewModel to a Composable as a parameter or is there any alternative?

Passing as a param, defaulted to your DI of choice gets you the best of both worlds:
DI + totally effortless override when you want to throw together a Unit Test etc.
Is there any reason to find an alternative?

Thanks Ian, again a helping hand.
