https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/state talks about observeAsState, is that outdated and is now collectAsState ?

[Bryan Herbst]

It has not changed.

observeAsState() is for a `LiveData`: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/livedata/package-summary

collectAsState() is for a Flow : https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/package-summary#(kotlinx.coroutines.flow.Flo[…].coroutines.CoroutineContext)

@Bryan Herbst aaahhhhh

[Gabriel]

that's what I'm missing, thanks

[Bryan Herbst]

There’s also subscribeAsState() for RxJava! https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/rxjava2/package-summary

I've seen too many of my senior devs cry over livedata, I think I'll work with flow ;)
