Generates view model factories to instantiate view models annotated with `@Inject`. Requires configuration in Gradle and annotation with `AndroidViewModel`. Supports untested multiplatform usage.
Viewmodel factory class generator for kotlin-inject
This generator will create a view model factory that can be used
to instantiate view models annotated with @Inject.
Any view model you wish to include in the factory needs to be annotated with AndroidViewModel
Follow the ksp setup instructions from kotlin-inject
Next configure gradle with some required parameters:
dependencies {
ksp("com.chimerapps.kotlin-inject-viewmodelfactory:compiler:0.1.0")
// Multiplatform is supported as well, just untested. Remove the jvm prefix and it may work in commonMain
implementation("com.chimerapps.kotlin-inject-viewmodelfactory:runtime-jvm:0.1.0")
}
// Set generator parameters
ksp {
arg("viewModelFactoryPackage", "<package name to generate the factory in>")
arg("viewModelFactoryParent", "<fully qualified name of the main component that knows how to create view models>")
}
You will then be able to access the factory and create view models.
Example:
//In some base activity
override fun getDefaultViewModelProviderFactory(): ViewModelProvider.Factory {
return object : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>): T {
viewModelFactory.createInstance(modelClass.kotlin)
}
}
}
