is it possible to define a viewmodel at the navigation root (of a nested graph) instead of the composable route (with hiltviewmodel, for example)? Or in that case is just better to pass it down from the activity? The goal would be to encapsulate the viewmodel into the specific navigation graph

[Ian Lake]

Where the ViewModel is stored depends entirely on what ViewModelStoreOwner you pass into viewModel or hiltViewModel, so if you want it stored at the navigation graph level, pass it the NavBackStackEntry associated with that graph that you've retrieved via navController.getBackStackEntry(yourGraphsRoute)

[Ian Lake]

Even the root graph has a route - that's what the route parameter on the NavHost lets you set

Interesting, I'm gonna try to do some experiments to explore the possibilities
