- Integrates with `Jetbrains Compose Multiplatform` seamlessly and easily.

- Integrates with [**kmp-viewmodel**](https://github.com/hoc081098/kmp-viewmodel) library seamlessly and smoothly
  - Stack entry scoped `ViewModel`, exists as long as the
    stack entry is on the navigation stack, including the configuration changes on `Android`.

- Supports `SavedStateHandle`, used to save and restore data over configuration changes
    or process death on `Android`.

- The **navigation stack state** is saved and restored automatically over configuration changes and process
  death on `Android`.
  On other platforms, you can use a support class provided by this library to store the navigation stack state
  as long as you want.

- **Type safety navigation**, easy to pass data between destinations.
  No more `String` route and dynamic query parameters.
  The `Solivagant` library uses `NavRoute`s and `NavRoot`s to define routes that can be navigated to.
  Arguments can be defined as part of the route (a.ka. properties of the route class) and are type safe.
  Each `NavRoute` and `NavRoot` has a corresponding `NavDestination` that describes the UI (a.k.a `@Composable`) of the
  route.

- Supports **Multi-Backstacks**, this is most commonly used in apps that use bottom navigation to
  separate the back stack of each tab.
  See [Freeletics Khonshu Navigation - Multiple back stacks](https://freeletics.github.io/khonshu/navigation/back-stacks/)
  for more details.

- Supports `LifecycleOwner`, `Lifecycle` events and states, similar to `AndroidX Lifecycle` library.

## Credits

- Most of the code in `solivagant-khonshu-navigation-core` and `solivagant-navigation` libraries is
  taken from [Freeletics Khonshu Navigation](https://freeletics.github.io/khonshu/navigation/get-started/),
  and ported to `Kotlin Multiplatform` and `Compose Multiplatform`.

- The `solivagant-lifecycle` library is inspired
  by [Essenty Lifecycle](https://github.com/arkivanov/Essenty?tab=readme-ov-file#lifecycle),
  and [AndroidX Lifecycle](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/lifecycle).

}
```

</details>

## Getting started

The library is ported from `Freeletics Khonshu Navigation` library, so the concepts is similar.
You can read the [Freeletics Khonshu Navigation](https://freeletics.github.io/khonshu/navigation/get-started/) to
understand
the concepts.

👉 Full samples are available [here](#Samples).

### 1. Create `NavRoot`s, `NavRoute`s

```kotlin
@Immutable
@Parcelize
data object StartScreenRoute : NavRoot

@Immutable
@Parcelize
data object SearchProductScreenRoute : NavRoute
```

> [!NOTE]
> `@Parcelize` is provided by `kmp-viewmodel-savedstate` library.
> See [kmp-viewmodel-savedstate](https://github.com/hoc081098/kmp-viewmodel?tab=readme-ov-file#2-kmp-viewmodel-savedstate-library) for more details.

### 2. Create `NavDestination`s along with `Composable`s and `ViewModel`s

###### StartScreen.kt

```kotlin

@JvmField
val StartScreenDestination: NavDestination =
  ScreenDestination<StartScreenRoute> { StartScreen() }

@Composable
internal fun StartScreen(
  modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
  // kmpViewModel or kojectKmpViewModel can be used instead.
  viewModel: StartViewModel = koinKmpViewModel(),
) {
  // UI Composable
}

internal class StartViewModel(
  // used to trigger navigation actions from outside the view layer (e.g. from a ViewModel).
  // Usually, it is singleton object, or the host Activity retained scope.
  private val navigator: NavEventNavigator,
) : ViewModel() {
  internal fun navigateToProductsScreen() = navigator.navigateTo(ProductsScreenRoute)
  internal fun navigateToSearchProductScreen() = navigator.navigateTo(SearchProductScreenRoute)
}
```

###### SearchProductScreen.kt

```kotlin
@JvmField
val SearchProductScreenDestination: NavDestination =
  ScreenDestination<SearchProductScreenRoute> { SearchProductsScreen() }

@Composable
internal fun SearchProductsScreen(
  modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
  // kmpViewModel or kojectKmpViewModel can be used instead.
  viewModel: SearchProductsViewModel = koinKmpViewModel<SearchProductsViewModel>(),
) {
  // UI Composable
}

internal class SearchProductsViewModel(
  private val searchProducts: SearchProducts,
  private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle,
  // used to trigger navigation actions from outside the view layer (e.g. from a ViewModel).
  // Usually, it is singleton object, or the host Activity retained scope.
  private val navigator: NavEventNavigator,
) : ViewModel() {
  fun navigateToProductDetail(id: Int) {
    navigator.navigateTo(ProductDetailScreenRoute(id))
  }
}
```

### 3. Setup

#### 3.1. NavHost

Gather all `NavDestination`s in a set and use `NavEventNavigator` to trigger navigation actions.

###### MyAwesomeApp.kt

```kotlin
@Stable
private val AllDestinations: ImmutableSet<NavDestination> = persistentSetOf(
  StartScreenDestination,
  SearchProductScreenDestination,
  // and more ...
)

@Composable
fun MyAwesomeApp(
  // used to trigger navigation actions from outside the view layer (e.g. from a ViewModel).
  // Usually, it is singleton object, or the host Activity retained scope.
  navigator: NavEventNavigator = koinInject(),
  modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
  // BaseRoute is the parent interface of NavRoute and NavRoot.
  // It implements Parcelable so that it can be used with rememberSavable.
  var currentRoute: BaseRoute? by rememberSavable { mutableStateOf(null) }

NavHost(
    modifier = modifier,
    // route to the screen that should be shown initially
    startRoute = StartScreenRoute,
    // should contain all destinations that can be navigated to
    destinations = AllDestinations,
    // when passing a NavEventNavigator to NavHost, NavHost will take care of setting up the navigator by calling `NavigationSetup(navigator)`
    navEventNavigator = navigator,
    destinationChangedCallback = { currentRoute = it },
  )
}
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> When passing a `NavEventNavigator` to `NavHost` composable, the NavHost will take care of setting up the navigator by calling `NavigationSetup(navigator)`.
>
> If you don't pass a "global" `NavEventNavigator` to `NavHost` composable, make sure there are property calls to `NavigationSetup(navigator)`.
> For example, we can call `NavigationSetup(navigator)` in each destination composable.
>
> ```kotlin
> @JvmField
> val StartScreenDestination: NavDestination = ScreenDestination<StartScreenRoute> {
>   NavigationSetup(navigator = koinInject())
>   StartScreen()
> }
>
> @JvmField
> val SearchProductScreenDestination: NavDestination = ScreenDestination<SearchProductScreenRoute> {
>   NavigationSetup(navigator = koinInject())
>   SearchProductsScreen()
> }
> ```
>
> 👉 Check out [scoped navigator sample](https://github.com/hoc081098/solivagant/blob/88e75468659fa3185edc47ef6b043ca86aaeee16/samples/simple/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/hoc081098/solivagant/sample/simple/ui/detail/DetailNavigator.kt#L17C7-L17C22) for more information.

#### 3.2. Android

To display `MyAwesomeApp` on `Android`, use `setContent` in `Activity` / `Fragment`.

###### MainActivity.kt

```kotlin
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle) {
    super.onCreate()

// navigator can be retrieved from the DI container, such as Koin, Dagger Hilt, etc...
    setContent {
      MyAwesomeApp()
    }
  }
}
```

#### 3.3. Desktop

To display `MyAwesomeApp` on `Desktop`, use `androidx.compose.ui.window.application` and `Window` composable:

###### main.kt

```kotlin
fun main() {
  val lifecycleRegistry = LifecycleRegistry()
  val savedStateSupport = SavedStateSupport()

application {
    val windowState = rememberWindowState()
    val lifecycleOwner = rememberLifecycleOwner(lifecycleRegistry)
    LifecycleControllerEffect(
      lifecycleRegistry = lifecycleRegistry,
      windowState = windowState,
    )

savedStateSupport.ClearOnDispose()

Window(
      onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication,
      title = "Solivagant sample",
      state = windowState,
    ) {
      LifecycleOwnerProvider(lifecycleOwner) {
        // navigator can be retrieved from the DI container, such as Koin, Koject, etc...
        savedStateSupport.ProvideCompositionLocals { MyAwesomeApp() }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> [!TIP]
> For more information please check out [Desktop sample main.kt](https://github.com/hoc081098/solivagant/blob/2eb1ef4beee875d63aaa882f7198cc738638ad75/samples/sample/desktop/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/hoc081098/solivagant/sample/main.kt#L18-L49)

#### 3.4. iOS / tvOS / watchOS

To display `MyAwesomeApp` on `iOS/tvOS/watchOS`, use `ComposeUIViewController` (Kotlin - iosMain SourceSet) and `UIViewControllerRepresentable` (Swift - native code):

###### MainViewController.kt

```kotlin
val AppLifecycleOwner by lazy { AppLifecycleOwner() }

fun MainViewController(savedStateSupport: SavedStateSupport): UIViewController {
  val lifecycleOwnerUIVcDelegate =
    LifecycleOwnerComposeUIViewControllerDelegate(hostLifecycleOwner = AppLifecycleOwner)
      .apply { bindTo(savedStateSupport) }
      .apply { lifecycle.subscribe(LifecycleObserver) }

return ComposeUIViewController(
    configure = { delegate = lifecycleOwnerUIVcDelegate },
  ) {
    LifecycleOwnerProvider(lifecycleOwnerUIVcDelegate) {
      savedStateSupport.ProvideCompositionLocals { MyAwesomeApp() }
    }
  }
}
```

###### ComposeView.swift

```swift
private struct ComposeView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
  let savedStateSupport: NavigationSavedStateSupport

func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UIViewController {
    MainViewControllerKt.MainViewController(savedStateSupport: savedStateSupport)
  }

func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) { }
}

private class ComposeViewViewModel: ObservableObject {
  let savedStateSupport = NavigationSavedStateSupport()
  deinit {
    self.savedStateSupport.clear()
  }
}

struct ComposeViewContainer: View {
  @StateObject private var viewModel = ComposeViewViewModel()

var body: some View {
    ComposeView(savedStateSupport: viewModel.savedStateSupport)
      .ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard) // Compose has own keyboard handler
  }
}
```

> [!TIP]
> For more information please check out [iOS sample MainViewController.kt](https://github.com/hoc081098/solivagant/blob/master/samples/sample/shared/src/iosMain/kotlin/com/hoc081098/solivagant/sample/MainViewController.kt)
> and [iosApp sample ComposeView.swift](https://github.com/hoc081098/solivagant/blob/master/samples/sample/iosApp/iosApp/ComposeView.swift)

### 4. Use `NavEventNavigator` in `ViewModel` s / `@Composable` s to trigger navigation actions

```kotlin
// navigate to the destination that the given route leads to
navigator.navigateTo(DetailScreenRoute("some-id"))
// navigate up in the hierarchy
navigator.navigateUp()
// navigate to the previous destination in the backstack
navigator.navigateBack()
// navigate back to the destination belonging to the referenced route and remove all destinations
// in between from the back stack, depending on inclusive the destination
navigator.navigateBackTo<MainScreenRoute>(inclusive = false)
```
