In the case of database programming flows allow us a mean to watch values in our database and to react immediately in the user interface whenever any value changes. SQL Delight offers the possibility to query our database in a manner that observes the stream of updated values as a Kotlin flow. To do this, we first need a new library. We added it already here, but that is SQL Delight coroutines, extensions. So we go into this Libs versions 2 ML file in the Gradle directory and add this right? If we haven't already, we can then add it to the apps, build Gradle KTS file again under compose app build Gradle KTS, and here we go into Common Maine and we add Libs SQL light, coroutines extensions.
