A Compose-multiplatform navigation library that leverage Decompose to create an API inspired by Conductor
A detailed breakdown available in this Medium article
- 🚏 A
Router
that manages a FILO stack for your screen configurations - 📦
rememberOnRoute()
lets you retain your view model across configuration changes and gets cleared when the user leaves the screen - ☠️ A
SavedStateHandle
to restore state gracefully after the process death. (for Android) - 🚉 Multiplatform! Supports Android, WearOS, Desktop, iOS and Web
Decompose-Router is published on Maven Central
repositories {
mavenCentral()
// or for snapshot builds
maven("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
}

// Declare your screen configurations for type-safety

@Composable

@Composable

// 📦 Scope an instance (a view model, a state-holder or whatever) to a route with [rememberOnRoute]

}
Make sure to create your root router context outside of ComposeUIViewController
's composable lambda and pass it in to LocalRouterContext
Important
You will need to tie root RouterContext
's lifecycle to an AppDelegate
.

[!NOTE] To invoke decompose router's
defaultRouterContext()
from swift, you will need to export decompose-router from your shared module https://github.com/xxfast/Decompose-Router/blob/98e6d62ed067c01f10d73c769a73fe1d7afbf49d/app/build.gradle.kts#L25-L36
