So I found that you could create a ViewModel in Compose using viewModel() composable function. I was wondering how to scope these ViewModel similar to how ViewModel could be scoped to Activity / Fragment or NavGraph? Is this possible to do in Compose?

You can provide your own ViewModelStoreOwner via ViewModelStoreOwnerAmbient.

Link to this please? This is knew news to me

[Andrey Kulikov]

it is already scoped to the activity, or fragment if you compose into the view added to fragment

[Archie]

Yes, but going compose means no Activity or Fragment right?

[Halil Ozercan]

well Activities aren't going anywhere and fragments are probably going to be around for foreseeable future.
It is not yet clear how the old relation between ViewModels and LifecycleOwner classes(Activity, Fragment) will transition into Compose. Currently. there seems to be no change. There is viewModel() composable that connects these worlds but IMO it is far more useful for transitioning to compose, rather than keep using ViewModels as the default state management.
Of course, it depends on a lot of factors and in the end ViewModels can stay around thanks to the introduction of StateFlow ,SharedFlow . I found that Compose-Hilt-ViewModel trio play well together in small examples.

Is SharedFlow already available?
