This allows multiple ViewModels per screen, each with single responsibility — one per component (e.g., a participant card), one per subcomponent (e.g., a chat bottom sheet), and one for the overall screen. A custom `ComponentViewModelScope` composable wraps content with an overridden `LocalViewModelStoreOwner`, so any ViewModel initialized inside is scoped to that composable's lifetime. State persistence across recompositions is handled via `rememberSavableStateHolder` and `SavedStateHandle`. The approach is recommended for complex screens with significant state management, not for simple CRUD screens. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
