-## View Models with Derived State

-type TodoState = {
-  items: Array<{ id: string; text: string; done: boolean }>;
-};
-
-type TodoDerivedState = TodoState & {

-  completedCount: number;
-  remainingCount: number;
-};

-class TodoViewModel extends ViewModelWithDerivedState<

-    return {
-      items,
-      totalCount: items.length,
-      completedCount: items.filter((item) => item.done).length,
