# Compose Navigator

Compose Navigator provides possibility to Control AndroidX NavController from View Model's.

The library facilitates the usage of a single NavHost controlled by one point of truth - Navigator. Provides a unified interface for
providing results back between composables and receiving activity results.

## Features

View Model's can use [Navigator](/navigation-runtime/src/main/kotlin/com/miquido/android/navigation/Navigator.kt) interface provided
by [navigation-runtime](/navigation-runtime) artifact to:

- navigate forward to `route` with optional `NavOptions`
- navigate backward
- provide result data to previous backstack entry
- launch and receive activity results using `ActivityResultContract`

Destination routes can be identified with String or Kotlin Serializable object used
for [Navigation Kotlin DSL Type-Safety](https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/design/type-safety).

> **Warning**: library is designed to work with a single `NavHost`. Using nested `NavHost` is not tested and can cause unexpected
> behavior.

## Setup

Compose Navigator is available via maven central.

1. Add dependency to to `navigation-runtime`

```groovy
dependencies {
implementation "com.miquido.android.navigation:navigation-runtime:[version]"
}
```

2. Choose dependency injection integration used in your project `navigation-hilt` or `navigation-koin`

```groovy
dependencies {
implementation "com.miquido.android.navigation:navigation-hilt:[version]"
// OR
implementation "com.miquido.android.navigation:navigation-koin:[version]"
}
```

> **Note**: that for multi-module project add this dependency only in application module.

3. Pass `NavController` to `NavigationHandler` to start processing commands sent by `Navigator` in View Models.

```kotlin
import com.miquido.android.navigation.handler.NavigationHandler

@kotlinx.serialization.Serializable
data object RootRoute

@kotlinx.serialization.Serializable
data object StartRoute

@Composable
fun AppRoot() {
// ...
val navController = rememberNavController()

NavigationHandler(
navController = navController
)

NavHost(
navController = navController,
route = RootRoute::class, // or simple string "root"
startDestination = StartRoute // or simple string "start"
) {
// build your NavGraph
}
}
```

4. Create View Model in composable using `navEntryViewModel` method.

```kotlin
import com.miquido.android.navigation.Navigator
import com.miquido.android.navigation.viewmodel.navEntryViewModel

@Composable
fun StartScreen(
viewModel: StartViewModel = navEntryViewModel()
) {
}
```

> **Note**: that all remaining dependency injection configuration (like using adding `@HiltViewModel` for Hilt or declaring module with
`viewModelOf` for Koin) remains same as it was.

5. (**Optional**) Add integration with [Compose Destinations](https://composedestinations.rafaelcosta.xyz/)

```groovy
dependencies {
implementation "com.miquido.android.navigation:navigation-destinations:[version]"
}
```

Using this artifact provides additional kotlin extension methods for:

- `Navigator` to avoid calling `Direction#rote` and `Route#route` when using provided API.
- `NavAction`'s to allow object creation using `Direction` / `Route` directly.

## Samples

The repository contains few samples - showcasing:

- koin integration [sample-koin](/sample-koin)
- hilt integration [sample-hilt](/sample-hilt)
- **TBD** compose destination integration [sample-destinations](/sample-destinations)

## About

The library contains a core feature set commonly used.
Please do try it and open issues if you find any.

Any feedback and contributions are highly appreciated!

**If you like the library, consider starring and sharing it with your colleagues.**
