Kotlin Coroutines & Flow

ViewModel with StateFlow

@HiltViewModel
class UserViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase,
    private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : ViewModel() {

    private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow(UserUiState())
    val uiState: StateFlow<UserUiState> = _uiState.asStateFlow()

    private val userId: String = checkNotNull(savedStateHandle["userId"])

    init {
        loadUser()
    }

    fun loadUser() {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            _uiState.update { it.copy(isLoading = true) }

            getUserUseCase(userId)
                .catch { e ->
                    _uiState.update {
                        it.copy(isLoading = false, error = e.message)
                    }
                }
                .collect { user ->
                    _uiState.update {
                        it.copy(isLoading = false, user = user, error = null)
                    }
                }
        }
    }

    fun clearError() {
        _uiState.update { it.copy(error = null) }
    }
}

data class UserUiState(
    val user: User? = null,
    val isLoading: Boolean = false,
    val error: String? = null
)

Repository with Flow

interface UserRepository {
    fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User>
    fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>>
    suspend fun saveUser(user: User)
}

class UserRepositoryImpl @Inject constructor(
    private val api: UserApi,
    private val dao: UserDao,
    private val dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO
) : UserRepository {

    override fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User> = flow {
        // Emit cached data first
        dao.getUserById(userId)?.let { emit(it) }

        // Fetch from network and update cache
        val remoteUser = api.getUser(userId)
        dao.insert(remoteUser)
        emit(remoteUser)
    }.flowOn(dispatcher)

    override fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>> =
        dao.observeAllUsers().flowOn(dispatcher)

    override suspend fun saveUser(user: User) = withContext(dispatcher) {
        api.saveUser(user)
        dao.insert(user)
    }
}

Jetpack Compose

Screen with ViewModel

@Composable

    UserScreenContent(

        onRefresh = viewModel::loadUser,
        onErrorDismiss = viewModel::clearError,
        onNavigateBack = onNavigateBack
    )

                    }
                }

                        modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center)
                    )
                }
                uiState.user != null -> {
                    UserContent(user = uiState.user)

                        TextButton(onClick = onErrorDismiss) {
                            Text("Dismiss")
                        }
                    }
                ) {
                    Text(error)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Sealed Classes for State

Result Wrapper

sealed interface Result<out T> {
    data class Success<T>(val data: T) : Result<T>
    data class Error(val exception: Throwable) : Result<Nothing>
    data object Loading : Result<Nothing>
}

fun <T> Result<T>.getOrNull(): T? = (this as? Result.Success)?.data

inline fun <T, R> Result<T>.map(transform: (T) -> R): Result<R> = when (this) {
    is Result.Success -> Result.Success(transform(data))
    is Result.Error -> this
    is Result.Loading -> this
}

Testing with MockK & Turbine

ViewModel Tests

@OptIn(ExperimentalCoroutinesApi::class)
class UserViewModelTest {

    @get:Rule
    val mainDispatcherRule = MainDispatcherRule()

    private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase = mockk()
    private val savedStateHandle = SavedStateHandle(mapOf("userId" to "123"))

    private lateinit var viewModel: UserViewModel

    @Before
    fun setup() {
        viewModel = UserViewModel(getUserUseCase, savedStateHandle)
    }

    @Test
    fun `loadUser success updates state with user`() = runTest {
        val user = User("123", "John Doe", "john@example.com")
        coEvery { getUserUseCase("123") } returns flowOf(user)

        viewModel.uiState.test {
            val initial = awaitItem()
            assertFalse(initial.isLoading)

            viewModel.loadUser()

            val loading = awaitItem()
            assertTrue(loading.isLoading)

            val success = awaitItem()
            assertFalse(success.isLoading)
            assertEquals(user, success.user)
        }
    }
}

class MainDispatcherRule(
    private val dispatcher: TestDispatcher = UnconfinedTestDispatcher()

    override fun starting(description: Description) {
        Dispatchers.setMain(dispatcher)
    }
