Hey!

Question regarding Data Binding/Flow.

How do you usually handle that in KMM Project? For using Kotlin’s Flow type for example, we need to implement wrappers. Currently I am playing around with https://johnoreilly.dev/posts/kotlinmultiplatform-swift-combine_publisher-flow/.

What about normal suspend functions? I’ve noticed you can call suspend/async Kotlin function inside Swift, and it is compiled into a completion closure. One downside I see there, is nullability and would be nice to have Swift's Result type in it for example.

Any best practices regarding data flow in KMM project? 🙏
