Dependency injection in Compose works differently from traditional Android Views. Here are the recommended approaches:
1. Use Hilt's ViewModel injection for ViewModels in Compose
2. Leverage CompositionLocal for UI-scoped dependencies
3. Pass dependencies as parameters to composable functions when possible
4. Use remember { } for component-scoped dependencies
The Compose team recommends keeping UI components pure and moving dependencies to the ViewModel or other business logic layers.

"Dispatch is a must read for Android devs today and my go-to for keeping up with all things Jetpack Compose. I eagerly await each issue, not just for the Compose gems honestly but for Vinay's unique insights, stories, and finds. The Dev Delight and Featured Dev sections are particular favorites of mine! He really should do a podcast."
