Michael Paus · Answer

It always rings an alarm bell in me when I see so many different and incompatible solutions for a single problem face with monocle

Pablichjenkov · Answer

You have 2 alternatives then Either waiting for a big one G JB Square to come up with one solution or custom implementation shrug skin tone 2 Honestly I don t see any danger in the coexistence of all these many nav libraries You pick what you like if you like it

Michael Paus · Answer

Or you come up with a solution that is so good that everybody is immediately convinced that it is worth switching to it wink

Pablichjenkov · Answer

That too in general teams tend to create their own architecture that involves custom navigation utilities libraries But it is true that if one has a reference already or some work already done it is easier to import and build upon slightly smiling face

Kilian · Answer

I ve build my own custom navigation as all those libraries looked overcomplicated in my opinion Not happy with navigation in compose at the moment confused actually one of the biggest pain points

Casey Brooks · Answer

I built <https copper leaf github io ballast wiki modules ballast navigation |Ballast Navigation> to be close to a build it yourself nav system but with just enough functionality to make it so you re not having to implement routing backstack management etc

Casey Brooks · Answer

Here s my general thoughts on navigation at this point In the past navigation was really hard to get right and very tightly coupled to the platform Switching between Android activities fragments or iOS ViewControllers was not easy to work with and really easy to mess up especially with transition animations and deep links Compose changes this completely It used to be very difficult to swap out full screen content but in Compose it s as easy as changing a `State` variable Adding transitions is also fairly trivial using things like `AnimatedContent` The fact that there are so many navigation libraries available now doesn t strike me as a problem with navigation as much as it speaks to how easy is it to do now in comparison to previous navigation People are now able to build navigation libraries that work how they want them to rather than fighting a tightly coupled and highly opinionated library And everyone has a different opinion on how navigation should work which is why we have so many options So you can explore different options and find the one that you like best or just build your own but a single all encompassing solution isn t as useful or valuable now as it once was

Pablichjenkov · Answer

Makes a lot of sense sorry I had misspelled your library in my comment above just fixed it
