Hey all! For anyone familiar with the multi-module architecture, I have a problem where I have the following modules:

navigation -> feature -> domain

And I need navigation to access a data class defined in domain , but I don’t want there to be a direct dependency (as I don’t want navigation to have access to use cases etc). The only way I can think of solving this is creating something like a type module which both the domain and navigation modules depend on.

Is there another easier/better practice way of doing this?

Easy define a new data class

A new data class with exactly the same fields?

[florent]

Yes

I’m not sure if that scales well - if you need to “duplicate” same data class in 3 or more modules, changing it in the original module will cause the need for changes in all other modules

[florent]

The purpose of the two data class isn't the same so it makes sense to have two. At the moment they have the same fields but that's a coincidence, in the future it is more probable that they will be different as they have different roles

I see, fair enough! Thanks for the help 🙂
