hey guys.. is there a way to send an parcelable to compose navigation via

navigate("")

?

No. Here's one of the previously threads on this same question: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1604053414451400

@Ian Lake is sending

parcelable

a good idea though 🤔 . I understand this will be similar to how things are being done in the fragment world, but the problem is solved if an

id

is passed to the

navigate()

?

Passing a Parcelable has never been the right choice: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1603915310355400?thread_ts=1603915006.355200&cid=CJLTWPH7S

exactly. never did it anyways. Always preferred to pass the least amount of data 👍 .

I changed the code to send just the object id

One can always take the passed

id

field and refer to local cache

How bad is it to something like this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/65619560/9440211. At least for some sample project that has no local cache or something of that sorts, it should work as a hacky solution. But other than that, what are the reasons I would NOT want to do this for a simple screen that just renders one data object (for example a detail screen of something)?
