If you've been looking for ways to decouple your app’s layout logic and streamline your UI transitions, the 1.1 release of Navigation 3 introduces three new capabilities designed to help. https://goo.gle/4e9BF7z 1️⃣ Scene decorators: Adding to Navigation 3 scene APIs, scene decorators can be used to modify the scene calculated by your app's scene strategy. For example, they can be used to add common UI elements such as top app bars and navigation bars/rails that you’d like to add at the scene, rather than nav entry level. https://goo.gle/4cdRvf1 2️⃣ Shared nav entries: Does your app have nav entries that are shared across scenes? NavDisplay now includes built-in functionality that makes nav entries shared elements so they can be smoothly transitioned between scenes. https://goo.gle/4c6GYCc 3️⃣ Typesafe metadata DSL: Looking to make your metadata definition and usage more typesafe and readable? Use the new NavMetadataKey interface and metadata {} builder! https://goo.gle/4dvuUNf To demonstrate these APIs, we’ve updated all of the existing samples in the nav3-recipes GitHub repository and also added two new ones: Nav3-recipes → https://goo.gle/47Nremk Dialog scene decorator → https://goo.gle/4siPsfC Responsive navigation scene decorator → https://goo.gle/4tCDWNe
