Current code

val exploreViewModel: ExploreViewModel = hiltViewModel(it)

My ExploreViewModel needs to load shows by a given genre inside the init. The user can then (on the same screen) select a different genre.

My issue is, I can not simply do

val exploreViewModel: ExploreViewModel = hiltViewModel(it)
exploreViewModel.load("Comedy")

Because, if the user navigates as follows: Home -> ExploreScreen -> ShowScreen And from ShowScreen back to ExploreScreen with a back press, then the "Comedy" tag will be loaded again due to how composable works

I’m probably over thinking it but adding a simple “didLoadInitialGenre” Boolean in my ViewModel also solves the issue
