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|https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1604053414451400>

<@UJBPFB3SN> is sending `parcelable` a good idea though :thinking_face: . 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&amp;cid=CJLTWPH7S>

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

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)?
