Proper way to pass LiveData in ViewModel taken from suspended Repository

There is a liveData builder that can call suspend functions in its body. So your view model function can look like

fun getMountains() = liveData {
   emit(mountainsRepository.getAll()) 
}

make sure you are using at least

implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.2.0"

And as Lena mentioned - removing suspend from your repository getAll() function do not make it blocking.

Having

fun getAll() : LiveData<List<Mountain>>

in your repo, and

fun getMountains() = mountainsRepository.getAll()

in your view model, could be a better way to achieve the same goal
