Is there any other way to have a viewModel scoped to a navigation destination than using hiltViewModel?

[YASAN]

So without DI at all?

[nilTheDev]

Yep

I dont think there is any specific "ways" to do it without DI. You just have to create a new instance of your ViewModel manually and handle its lifecycles etc.

Maybe take a look at this https://github.com/airbnb/mavericks/blob/main/mvrx-compose/src/main/kotlin/com/airbnb/mvrx/compose/MavericksComposeExtensions.kt for inspiration to make your own?
Or even the source code of hiltViewModel it's all public anyway.

Well, viewModel() also scopes to a navigation destination. All hiltViewModel() does is provide the a prebuilt Factory hooked up to Hilt.

It is possible. This is a sample of how I'm using it in the app: https://gist.github.com/SumeraMartin/e31a9bf7103d50d803665d1fe93a0a81

@Ian Lake Thanks for the information. I have visited the docs and that states the same thing. I thought only way to scope a ViewModel to a navigation destination is using a DI solution. But that's precisely not the case. I am pretty sure I have read these docs page before but somehow overlooked on these information.
