Where is the "viewModel()" method in Androids Compose State documentation coming from?

You can check the official doc:

you can access a ViewModel from any composable by calling the viewModel() function.

To use the viewModel() functions,add the androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:$latestVersion dependency to your build.gradle file.

Finally use:

import androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel.compose.viewModel

Obviously figured it out 2 minutes after giving up and posting the question.

You need this dependency:

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:1.0.0-alpha05
