State in Jetpack Compose

<p>Jetpack Compose is a reactive UI framework. Compose will refresh your UI as soon as the value of a State object is updated. This tutorial shows you how to create state objects to use in your composable functions.</p>


You can still use LiveData, RxJava Observables, Kotlin Flows to represent state in Jetpack Compose. All you have to do is use the respective extension functions. They convert the respective reactive object into a Jetpack Compose state.
For livedata you need the 'androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-livedata' artifact in your Gradle Dependencies.
For the rxJava you need the 'androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-rxjava2' artifact.
