Any plannings for adding these function?

<R, T : R> LiveData<T>.observeAsState(initial: R, *policy: SnapshotMutationPolicy<R>*): State<R>

No plans to so far. What's your use case?

Maybe very special case.

LiveData<List<Person>>

from Database. List which shows persons, markable as favourite. The Person is not immutable so you set

isFavourite = true

. Insert it into Database. -> The View will not recompose. Reason: Because of the EqualityPolicy. isFavourite is already true in that person. Workaround 1 (seems best/the way we use it at the moment): Make person immutable -> call:

db.insert(person.copy(isFavourite  = true))

Workaround 2: Don't use

data class

which generates these smart equals methods... Thought: Maybe the are cases where i would change the policy simmilar to the mutableStateOf()

Yeah I agree with immutable being the best answer in this case
