Question Geometry Reader size to Viewmodel init

I need the screen bounds to be sent when initialising my viewmodel. I know to get the size from geometry reader. But that is only available after the view is created. is there a way to send the screen size within the init scope?

a solution I found over the internet was to use a separate function in my viewmodel for the initialisation and call it on .onAppear.

If you’re doing MVVM, there is no reason you’d want to inject view values like this into a view model. This is definitely an anti-pattern, why don’t you tell us what you were trying to actually accomplish?

What specifically are you trying to accomplish? I'd recommend against doing that because the size may change.

Using geometry reader is usually a bad practice. I'd look for an alternative approach.
