navigator

Looking for Jetpack Compose implementation of navigator, see here.

A small (Kotlin first) type-safe navigation library for Android to ease the use of fragment transactions with a navigator.navigateTo call (rest is handled for you) & navigating back is as simple as navigator.goBack().

You also get a separate onBackPressed() callback on the child fragments which will be called when this is the current visible fragment & is the one which is going to be removed upon back press.

The library provides some custom transitions like CircularTransform (on top of existing animations), see its use in the sample app here.

If you have any implementation details to cover let me know.

What additional benefits I can get when using this library?

• Proper handling of Fragment Transaction.
• Handling up & back press actions efficiently on Fragment.
• Easy to use API for animations & transitions (see here).
• Generic Typed Arguments when passing data between destinations (see here).
• Quick Bottom & Tab navigation setup (see tutorials).

API Reference docs, check here.

Implementation

// root's build.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

// modules's build.gradle
dependencies {
    implementation "io.github.kaustubhpatange:navigator:<version>" // Core library (Required)
    implementation "io.github.kaustubhpatange:navigator-extensions:<version>" // Optional but recommended
    implementation "io.github.kaustubhpatange:navigator-bottom-navigation:<version>" // For setting up Bottom Navigation.
    implementation "io.github.kaustubhpatange:navigator-tab-navigation:<version>" // For setting up Tab Layout Navigation.
    implementation "io.github.kaustubhpatange:navigator-rail-navigation:<version>" // For setting up Rail Navigation.
}
