How to assign the value of a textfield to a hoistedState in compose?

I want to make a reusable component including between other things a TextField, like

@Composable
fun ReusableFormField(textFieldValue: TextFieldValue){
   --label stuff here--
   TextField(value = textFieldValue, onValueChange = {
            textFieldValue = it)
   })
   --helper stuff here
}

But I can't find a way to assign the textFieldValue to a wrapping component as you cannot pass a variable by reference with something like ref or out in the parameters.

If you remembered textFieldValue state above you can pass event top and modify state there. then it will be recomposed.

@Composable
fun ParentComposable(){
    var textFieldValue by remember {
        mutableStateOf(TextFieldValue(""))
    }
    ReusableFormField(
        textFieldValue,
    ){
        textFieldValue = it
    }
}

@Composable
fun ReusableFormField(
    textFieldValue: TextFieldValue,
    onValueChange: (TextFieldValue) -> Unit
){
    TextField(value = textFieldValue, onValueChange = onValueChange)
}

You need to provide a lambda parameter to ReusableFormField to update the value.

@Composable
fun ReusableFormField(
    value: TextFieldValue,
    onValueChange: (TextFieldValue) -> Unit
){
   // --label stuff here--
   TextField(value = value, onValueChange = onValueChange)
   // --helper stuff here
}
