Hey all! I see Koin supports FragmentFactory but I don’t find a way to inject the Koin’s ViewModelProvider.Factory. The whole point of using FragmentFactory is to be able to do constructor injection. Is there any way to inject the ViewModelProvider.Factory in a Fragment constructor using Koin?

Otherwise, we could consider add an API for that. 🤔

did you check org.koin.androidx.fragment sources, in koin-android ?

[arnaud.giuliani]

there is the KoinFragmentFactory

Hm, I might not have expressed myself well. Let me rephrase: what I meant is that we need to inject the ViewModelProvider.Factory in the Fragment - that way I could pass a different VMP.Factory and test the Fragment in isolation without Koin. E.g.,

class MyFragment(
    private val factory: ViewModelProvider.Factory,
) : Fragment() {
    private val vm by viewModels { factory }
}

The FragmentFactory is working well with current set-up but I still need to use the Koin methods to access a VM, which creates a dependency between the Fragment and Koin. 🤔

ok interesting 🤔 Not really taken into account for now 😕
