Best Practices When Splitting Compose Functions Into Separate Files
Might want to tell koin that : https://insert-koin.io/
To use the viewModels across all screens I use dependency injection by Koin. However Google promotes Hilt, I think that is the golden standard at this point. Both frameworks support creating viewModels with a navigation back stack entry as viewModelStoreOwner.

KVision 6.0.0 is released
New modules allow you to easily build KVision apps with the Ballast opinionated application state management framework. You can see how Ballast (together with Koin) can help you design your application architecture in the new todomvc-ballast example.

Multiplatform dependency injection libraries equivalent to Dagger/Anvil
I started looking into using Kotlin/JS, and hopefully reusing a bit of code that I have, which is using Dagger and Anvil - which of course are JVM only. So I've been looking for other solutions, namely Koin and Kodein. Koin's multibinding support is... not really amazing (e.g. here, and while Kodein does support multibinding, it doesn't seem to support things like that at the declaration site - everything needs to be specified in a "DI container" (module).

Do we really need to use Dependency Injection Framework?
Now I will finish up saying Hilt is just an opinionated way to dependency injection on Android, but there are simpler frameworks out there such as Koin or Kodein that can help take away a lot of the troubles that can come when you try to make your own framework. Just know that most other frameworks tend to be runtime injection instead of compile time injection like Hilt, which can be helpful to know at compile time if you are missing a dependency in your graph as opposed to runtime when its out in the wild.

Can someone suggest a simple dependency injection library for TypeScript/JavaScript?
I've been using Angular a lot and I like how it works. I'm also a huge fan of koin for kotlin.

Kotlin Team AMA #3: Ask Us Anything
For DI take a look at Koin. It's a pragmatic lightweight dependency injection framework for Kotlin developers with multiplatform support. PeopleInSpace sample project uses it.

Yet another DI library, bit this time it's not a service locator
Long answer: My pain mostly comes from using [Kodein](https://github.com/Kodein-Framework/Kodein-DI/) and a custom service locator in an iOS/Swift project. Other than that I have very little experience with DI (e.g. I never used Dagger so far), so my opinion might be a little biased. Also, both of these projects are really large, so, in many cases, a class is declared in one module but used in a completely different module and the DI or service locator is sort of the glue between the modules.
