It might be a dumb question, but as I’m at my very beginning with Compose and cannot find an answer.
Given I want to have something like Text(text = myCustomText) , where myCustomText: Flow<String> , what is the cleanest way to deal with that?

[Vinay Gaba]

Compose comes with a collectAsState extension function to convert a Flow to a MutableState

Awesome! Thank you! 🙂

Am I missing something?

[John O'Reilly]

there's issue I believe with auto importing those.....you might need to manually add imports e.g.

import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue
import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue

Ouch, that’s a tricky one 😛
Thank you again 🙏
