What would be the best practice for defining multiple required arguments for compose navigation? Let’s say there’s multiple ids I need to pass. How about something like this?
screenA/itemId/userId/someToken
Or is below better even though the syntax is for optional arguments…
screenA/itemId?userId={userId}&someToken={someToken}

The guide is pretty clear that you should put arguments in the path of the route if they are required and in query parameters if they are optional

Yeah, it’s just that I got feedback that it looks weird…

TBH, a userId and a someToken sound like things that should be injected in and controlled centrally, not something you'd pass as arguments at all

@allan.conda instead of hardcoding the query I extract extension function:

private fun String.withParams(vararg params: String): String =
    "$this?" + params.joinToString("&") { param -> "$param={$param}" }

and I call:
Destinations.ScreenA.withParams(Param.A, Param.B)
to declare the route.
