Lightweight library enhances navigation in applications, implementing a flexible coordinator pattern. Manages complex navigation flows, seamlessly integrates with navigation libraries, and supports custom logic for structured screen transitions.
Surfaced from shared tags and platforms — no rankings paid for.
A lightweight, cross-platform Coordinator library, written in pure Kotlin. Can easily support other navigation libraries or a custom navigation logic.
A convenient and powerful coordinator pattern library designed for Navigation Compose library.
KCoordinatorAction: Coordinator Action: Actions that can be handled by navigation flow logic in the Coordinator. For example, start the authentication flow, show home screen, go to back screen or another screen of navigation flow.
interface KCoordinatorAction
KCoordinator: Core Coordinator: The Coordinator core interface in pure Kotlin. Each coordinator can set up navigation and trigger and handle actions.
interface KCoordinator<T: KCoordinatorAction> {
fun trigger(action: KCoordinatorAction) {
// Default implementation: do not override
}
fun handle(action: T)
}
ComposeKCoordinator: Navigation Compose Coordinator: The Compose Coordinator interface. Each Compose Coordinator can set up navigation, trigger and handle actions and setting up navigation compose.
interface ComposeKCoordinator<T: KCoordinatorAction> : KCoordinator<T> {
fun trigger(action: KCoordinatorAction) {
// Default implementation: do not override
}
fun handle(action: T)
fun setupNavigation(
navGraphBuilder: NavGraphBuilder,
navHostController: NavHostController
)
}
RootComposeKCoordinator: Root Compose Coordinator: Root Compose Coordinator interface. It initializes the navigation graph and handles global navigation actions and flows.
interface ComposeKCoordinator<T: KCoordinatorAction> : KCoordinator<T> {
fun handle(action: T)
fun setupNavigation(
initialAction: Action,
navGraphBuilder: NavGraphBuilder,
navHostController: NavHostController
)
@Composable
fun start(
startDestination: Any,
initialAction: T
) {
// Default implementation: override it when you need a custom NavHost
val navHostController = rememberNavController()
NavHost(
startDestination = startDestination,
navController = navHostController
) {
setupNavigation(
initialAction,
this,
navHostController
)
}
}
}
This repository showcases a flexible navigation approach for Jetpack Compose applications by implementing the Coordinator pattern. This pattern simplifies the management of complex navigation flows and screen transitions, offering a well-structured way to handle navigation across different screens in an Android ou Multiplatorm Compose apps.
AppCoordinator: Manages the app's overall navigation flow and initializes either the authentication flow or the main flow based on the current state.
AuthCoordinator: Manages the authentication flow, including login and forget password screens.
HomeCoordinator: Manages the main flow, including the home screen and settings screens.
In your Compose App or MainActivity, to initialize the AppCoordinator and start the appropriate flow:
@Composable
fun App(
startDestination: Any = AppNavigationRoute.SplashScreen,
initialAction: AppCoordinatorAction = AppCoordinatorAction.StartLoginFlow,
) {
MaterialTheme {
val appCoordinator = AppCoordinator()
appCoordinator.start(
startDestination,
initialAction = initialAction
)
}
}
By decoupling navigation logic from UI components, it simplifies the management of complex navigation flows. The Coordinator pattern offers a scalable and flexible architecture benefits for large applications that involve multiple navigation flows and nested navigation structures.
AppCoordinator Implementation:
sealed class AppCoordinatorAction: KCoordinatorAction {
data object StartLoginFlow : AppCoordinatorAction()
data object StartHomeFlow : AppCoordinatorAction()
}
class AppCoordinator() : ComposeKCoordinator<AppCoordinatorAction> {
private val authCoordinator: AuthCoordinator by lazy { AuthCoordinator() }
private val homeCoordinator: HomeCoordinator by lazy { HomeCoordinator() }
fun setupNavigation(
navGraphBuilder: NavGraphBuilder,
navHostController: NavHostController
) {
authCoordinator.setupNavigation(navGraphBuilder, navHostController)
homeCoordinator.setupNavigation(navGraphBuilder, navHostController)
}
override fun handle(action: AppCoordinatorAction) {
when (action) {
is AppCoordinatorAction.StartLoginFlow -> {
authCoordinator.trigger(AuthCoordinatorAction.ShowLoginScreen)
}
is AppCoordinatorAction.StartHomeFlow -> {
homeCoordinator.trigger(HomeKCoordinatorAction.ShowHomeScreen)
}
}
}
}
AuthCoordinator Implementation:
sealed class AuthCoordinatorAction: KCoordinatorAction {
data object ShowLoginScreen : AuthCoordinatorAction()
// Define other auth-related actions here
}
class AuthCoordinator() : ComposeKCoordinator<AuthCoordinatorAction> {
override fun setupNavigation(
navGraphBuilder: NavGraphBuilder,
navHostController: NavHostController
) {
navGraphBuilder.apply {
LoginScreen(coordinator = this@AuthCoordinator)
}
}
override fun handle(action: AuthCoordinatorAction) {
// Handle auth-related actions here
}
}
HomeCoordinator Implementation:
sealed class HomeCoordinatorAction: KCoordinatorAction {
data object ShowHomeScreen : HomeCoordinatorAction()
// Define other main-related actions here
}
class HomeCoordinator() : ComposeKCoordinator<HomeCoordinatorAction> {
override fun setupNavigation(
navGraphBuilder: NavGraphBuilder,
navHostController: NavHostController
) {
navGraphBuilder.apply {
HomeScreen(coordinator = this@AuthCoordinator)
}
}
override fun handle(action: HomeCoordinatorAction) {
// Handle main-related actions here
}
}
