Tips on how to improve this? I guess I shouldn't inject an apiService into my ViewModel? I should inject a repository instead?

@HiltViewModel
class MyViewModel @Inject constructor(private val api: MyApi) : ViewModel() {
  val state = HomeScreenState()
  init {
    state.fetchingData = true
    viewModelScope.launch {
      when (val response = apiService.getItems()) {
        is ApiResult.Success -> {
          state.items.addAll(response.value)
        }
      }
      state.fetchingData = false
    }
  }

state is mutable, how would client code would know that it updated?
I would probably do something like:
val state: Flow<HomeScreenState> = flow {
emit(HomeScreenState.Loading)
when (val response = apiService.getItems()) {
is ApiResult.Success -> emit(HomeScreenState.Success(response.value))
is Error -> emit(HomeScreenState.Error(…))

}
// Add optional sharing, if you want to preserver result between subscriptions
.shareIn(…)
