Using SavedStateHandle in the ViewModel

Hi there, thanks for this great library!

I’m trying to use navArgsDelegate to pass the arguments and get them in the ViewModel. While it’s pretty straightforward to extract the arguments using argsFrom(savedStateHandle), I can’t figure out how to properly inject SavedStateHandle in my ViewModel. I’m using koin for DI. This is how I inject the ViewModel into my Composable:

@Destination(navArgsDelegate = ProfileScreenNavArgs::class)
@Composable
fun ProfileScreen(viewModel: ProfileViewModel = getViewModel()) {}

and that’s how I declare the ViewModel:

viewModel { ProfileViewModel(savedStateHandle = what instance of SaveStateHandl should I inject here?)}

Is it even possible using Koin? Thanks again!

Yes! DestinationsNavigator’s purpose is just to wrap NavController and invert the dependency, but you can still use NavController everywhere!

There is an extension function “navigateTo” which also takes a Direction (like DestinationsNavigator)

ohhh, I can get an instance of the NavController in my composable, that’s very good to know! Thanks, @raamcosta for this explanation, appreciate it!
