I'm getting different instances of a view model in different screens of the same NavHost. Is this intended? How can I scope the view models to the NavHost or activity?

NavHost(navController = navController, startDestination = "screen1") {
    composable("screen1") { Screen1() }
    composable("screen2") { Screen2() }
}

@Composable fun Screen1() {
    val viewModel: MainViewModel = viewModel()
}

@Composable fun Screen2() {
    val viewModel: MainViewModel = viewModel()
}

Without passing them as arguments

Yes, this is intentional as per the release notes: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/navigation#compose-1.0.0-alpha01

Create your ViewModel outside of the NavHost if you want it scoped outside of the individual screen

[Grigorii Yurkov]

Do you mean create once and pass trough arguments?

Okay thanks
Yes @Grigorii Yurkov

Are there any example projects that make use of this library yet? Jw
