hiya, I have some controller and stores that i want to reuse for a desktop app. and i have made a single UiComponent interface with create() and destory() methods. So now i want to create an essenty lifecycle object that i can pass to my Controller and i can manually call state changes from the create and destroy methods. Is there some prebuilt object in essenty that I can use for this or how would i implement one?

Hmm, maybe LifecycleRegistry resume/destroy?

Something like this?

class RemotesUiComponent:UiComponent{

    // the mvi controller
    private val controller: RemotesController by scope.inject()
    private val lifecycle = LifecycleRegistry()
    override fun create() {
        lifecycle.onCreate()
        lifecycle.onStart()
        lifecycle.onResume()
    }

    override fun destroy() {
        lifecycle.onPause()
        lifecycle.onStop()
        lifecycle.onDestroy()
        scope.close()
    }
}

and i just pass in lifecycle to my remotes controller via injection?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

I would rather pass Lifecycle and avoid create/destroy methods. But this way is also fine.

Also, you can call resume/destroy extensions for simplicity.

Yes good point I will inject it. Thanks heaps for the help!
