Answer from AI

When working with Jetpack Compose, it is recommended to use the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architectural pattern.

  • Model — contains data and business logic.
  • ViewModel — manages UI state and interacts with the Model, providing data for display.
  • View (Compose UI) — a declarative UI that subscribes to state changes from the ViewModel.

Example:

class MyViewModel : ViewModel() {
    private val _state = mutableStateOf("Hello")
    val state: State<String> = _state

    fun updateText(newText: String) {
        _state.value = newText
    }
}

@Composable
fun MyScreen(viewModel: MyViewModel = viewModel()) {
    val text by viewModel.state
    Text(text = text)
}

This approach ensures a clean separation of concerns and simplifies testing.
