Consuming the flows safely in Compose

Introduction

• Collecting the flows in a lifecycle-aware manner is the recommended way to consume the flows if you are using the jetpack compose.
• We can use the collectAsStateWithLifecycle API to achieve this.

Background

• The collectAsStateWithLifecycle API can help conserve the app resources
• Say your application is in the background, Here the flow does not need to be active. If it is active it may impact the device's health.
• The queries include data-base connections, firebase queries, network-connections etc.
