2. Decompose

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("com.arkivanov.decompose:decompose:2.1.0")
    implementation("com.arkivanov.decompose:extensions-compose-jetpack:2.1.0")

            )

    }
}

3. Platform-Native Bridge

// commonMain/kotlin/navigation/Navigator.kt
sealed class Screen : Parcelable {
    @Parcelize
    data object Home : Screen()

    @Parcelize
    data class Detail(val id: String) : Screen()
}

interface Navigator {
    val navigationStack: StateFlow<List<Screen>>
    fun navigateTo(screen: Screen)
    fun navigateBack()
}

expect class Navigator() : Navigator

// androidMain - Compose Navigation
actual class Navigator : Navigator {
    private val _stack = MutableStateFlow(listOf(Screen.Home))
    override val navigationStack: StateFlow<List<Screen>> = _stack.asStateFlow()

    @Composable
    fun SetupNavigation() {
        val navController = rememberNavController()

        NavHost(navController, startDestination = "home") {
            composable("home") {
                HomeScreen(
                    onNavigateToDetail = { navController.navigate("detail/$it") }
                )
            }
            composable("detail/{id}") { backStackEntry ->
                val id = backStackEntry.arguments?.getString("id") ?: ""
                DetailScreen(id, onBack = { navController.popBackStack() })
            }
        }
    }
}

// iosMain - SwiftUI Navigation wrapper
actual class Navigator : Navigator {
    private val _stack = MutableStateFlow(listOf(Screen.Home))
    override val navigationStack: StateFlow<List<Screen>> = _stack.asStateFlow()

    fun toSwiftUI() -> some View {
        // Bridge to SwiftUI NavigationStack
    }
}

Tab Navigation

Voyager Tabs

// commonMain/kotlin/navigation/TabNavigation.kt
enum class Tab {
    HOME,
    SEARCH,
    PROFILE
}

@Composable
fun TabNavigation() {
    val navigator = rememberTabNavigator()

    TabNavigator(tab = navigator.current) {
        // Tab content
    }
}

Decompose Tabs

// commonMain/kotlin/navigation/Tabs.kt
enum class Tab {
    HOME,
    SEARCH,
    PROFILE
}

@Composable
fun Tabs(
    navigator: StackNavigator,
    selectedTab: MutableState<Tab>
) {
    Row {
        Tab.values().forEach { tab ->
            Button(
                onClick = { selectedTab.value = tab }
            ) {
                Text(tab.name)
            }
        }
    }
}

Deep Linking

// commonMain/kotlin/navigation/DeepLink.kt
sealed class Screen : Parcelable {
    @Parcelize
    data object Home : Screen()

    @Parcelize
    data class Detail(val id: String) : Screen()

    companion object {
        fun fromDeepLink(url: String): Screen? {
            return when {
                url.contains("/home") -> Home
                "/detail/([a-z0-9]+)".toRegex().find(url) != null -> {
                    val id = "/detail/([a-z0-9]+)".toRegex().find(url)!!.groupValues[1]
                    Detail(id)
                }
                else -> null
            }
        }
    }
}

Navigation Arguments

Type-Safe Arguments

// ✅ Sealed class with arguments
@Serializable
sealed class Screen : Parcelable {
    @Parcelize
    data object Home : Screen()

    @Parcelize
    data class UserDetail(
        val userId: String,
        val section: String? = null
    ) : Screen()

    @Parcelize
    data class EditItem(
        val itemId: String,
        val mode: EditMode = EditMode.View
    ) : Screen()
}

@Serializable
enum class EditMode {
    View, Edit, Create
}

State Preservation

Voyager ScreenModel

class DetailScreenModel(
    private val userId: String,
    private val repository: UserRepository
) : ScreenModel {
    val user = mutableStateOf<User?>(null)
    val isLoading = mutableStateOf(false)

    init {
        loadUser()
    }

    private fun loadUser() {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            isLoading.value = true
            user.value = repository.getUser(userId)
            isLoading.value = false
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun DetailScreen(
    userId: String,
    onBack: () -> Unit
) {
    val model = rememberScreenModel { DetailScreenModel(userId) }

    if (model.isLoading.value) {
        CircularProgressIndicator()
    } else {
        model.user.value?.let { user ->
            UserContent(user, onBack)
        }
    }
}

Remember: Choose navigation library based on project needs. Voyager for simplicity, Decompose for control, platform-native for full platform feature support.
