Has the Compose team (or anyone else) thought about what “shared element transitions” might look like for Compose-based navigation?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

I don’t see any mention of this in the compose-router README, but I’m curious if @Zsolt has any thoughts?

You could almost use Transition for this, but it requires a TransitionDefinition to be defined ahead of time, which is awkward for transitioning between arbitrary screens.

I wrote up some ideas here, but i’m not sure how feasible it would be to implement (haven’t tried yet): https://github.com/zach-klippenstein/compose-backstack/issues/27

Ha, I even reacted to that. I must have read the code too, because i came up with roughly the same api 😅

The main difference is using a wrapper for the SharedElement vs using a modifier. I’m curious, did you play with using a modifier for that at all?
