kotlin-project-state-management

To manage UI state in Kotlin Multiplatform without AndroidX, define invariant UiState contracts using StateFlow in common code. This approach ensures clean separation of state holders, effects, and actions across Android, iOS, and desktop targets.

Handling lifecycle and scope management in KMP requires platform-specific strategies for shared presenters. You must define clear contract rules for state holders to ensure scopes are correctly managed across Android, iOS, and desktop environments.

To separate one-time effects from UiState in MVI patterns, model your state as an invariant contract and emit effects independently. This clean separation prevents effect duplication and ensures testability of state production logic.

Choose a shared presenter or ViewModel based on your specific KMP state-management needs. Comparing these pattern families involves evaluating lifecycle handling, testability requirements, and zero AndroidX dependency constraints in common code.

Kotlin Multiplatform state management requires specific testability setups for StateFlow. You must define practical testing strategies for UiState modeling and effect handling to validate state holder contracts and actions effectively.
