ViewModel for Navigation graph level

[shakil807g]

is it possible to scope ViewModel to Navigation level currently?

Is this question for navigator (deals with fragments) or navigator-compose (which deals with Composables)?

@KaustubhPatange Sorry i didn't mention that, it is meant for navigator-compose

You can! All you have to do is scope ViewModelStoreOwner to the parent Route. I'll update the docs to mention this, but for now take a look at following snippet.

val controller = rememberNavController<MenuItem>()
.... // your navigation setup

/* Note: controller.parentRoute could be null so make sure to handle that gracefully as well.
* Cases where it could be null? When your navigation is not a nested destination. */
val viewModel by viewModel(viewModelStoreOwner = controller.parentRoute)

You mean like this ? val viewModel = viewModel<DiscoverViewModel>(viewModelStoreOwner = controller.parentRoute?.lifecycleController!!)

Yes, exactly!
