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.
