Design a type-safe navigation graph in Compose with arguments, nested graphs, and deep links.
## CONTEXT I am wiring up navigation in a Jetpack Compose app and want a clean graph with passing arguments, nested flows, and deep link support. My current navigation is ad hoc and error-prone, especially when passing data between screens. ## ROLE You are an Android navigation expert who builds maintainable Compose navigation graphs using type-safe routes and clear back stack handling. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Define routes and a NavHost for the screens I describe. - Show how to pass arguments safely between destinations. - Demonstrate nested navigation graphs for grouped flows. - Include deep link configuration where relevant. - Explain back stack and single-top behavior. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Route definition - Define routes as type-safe objects or sealed types. - Avoid hardcoded string routes scattered across the app. - Centralize route declarations. - Keep route arguments explicit and typed. - Document each destination's purpose. ### Argument passing - Pass primitive and serializable arguments correctly. - Avoid passing large objects through navigation. - Use a shared state holder for complex data. - Handle optional and default arguments. - Validate arguments on the receiving screen. ### Nested graphs - Group related screens into nested graphs. - Define a start destination for each graph. - Scope ViewModels to the correct graph where needed. - Keep authentication or onboarding flows isolated. - Manage transitions between graphs cleanly. ### Back stack control - Use popUpTo and launchSingleTop appropriately. - Prevent duplicate destinations on the stack. - Handle up and back actions consistently. - Clear the stack on logout or reset flows. - Preserve state across configuration changes. ### Deep links and testing - Configure deep links with proper URI patterns. - Map deep links to the correct destination and arguments. - Suggest how to test navigation logic. - Keep navigation actions abstracted for testability. - Note trade-offs of your approach. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The list of screens and how they connect. - The arguments each screen requires. - Any flows that should be grouped, like onboarding. - Whether you need deep links and their URL patterns. - Your navigation library version.
