Can I create `viewModel` scoped to a `composable` using `navigation-compose`?

That's what you get already when you use `viewModel()` inside those composables

<@UJBPFB3SN> correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK that way it will be scoped to the Fragment/Activity from where you call `setContent`, since it has to be tied to a `ViewModelStoreOwner`

You are indeed wrong :smile: Navigation provides its own `ViewModelStoreOwner` for each `NavBackStackEntry` as per the docs: <https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-programmatic#navbackstackentry|https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-programmatic#navbackstackentry>

`NavHost` overrides the ambients so that `viewModel()` within the composable uses that scoped owner

This is mentioned in the Navigation Compose release notes: <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/navigation#compose-1.0.0-alpha01|https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/navigation#compose-1.0.0-alpha01>

This ability to scope a ViewModel to individual composables is indeed a separate problem that is not yet solved, you are right about that part though

:confetti_ball: Ahh, thanks a lot for the clarification, didn't know about this :grin:

I was reading the <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation|documentation> and found nothing there about viewmodel. Now I am clear. thanks <@UJBPFB3SN>
