Is it permitted to write extension methods/properties on a custom component? I.e im using this to reduce the verbosity of accessing an entrypoint.

val AuthenticatedComponent.entryPoint: AuthenticatedComponentEntryPoint
    get(): AuthenticatedComponentEntryPoint {
        return EntryPoints.get(this, AuthenticatedComponentEntryPoint::class.java)
    }

And then I can inject with:

private val myRepository = authManager.component!!.entryPoint.getMyRepository()

Edit: Just realized EntryPoints are specific to Hilt and this is a dagger channel

If it compiles and runs I think its permitted

Is this Android? You don't need any dependencies from application/activity scopes?

[Jason Ankers]

Yeah its Android, AuthenticatedComponent is a child of SingletonComponent

You may consider EntryPointAccessors.fromApplicaton(context, class) see javadoc
