0.19.1

2024-02-12

This is a small bug fix release focused SaveableBackStack consistency and FakeNavigator API improvements.

  • Fix FakeNavigator.awaitNextScreen() not suspending.
  • Fix FakeNavigator.resetRoot() not returning the actual popped screens.
  • Make Navigator.peekBackStack() and Navigator.resetRoot() return ImmutableList.
  • Make BackStack.popUntil() return the ImmutableList of the popped records.
  • Support FakeNavigator.peekBackStack() return the ImmutableList of the popped records.
  • Strongly pop events and resetRoot events in FakeNavigator. This should offer much more information about the events.
  • Use a real BackStack instance in FakeNavigator + allow for specifying a user-provided instance.
  • Require an initial root screen to construct FakeNavigator unless using a custom BackStack.
  • Note this slightly changes semantics, as now the root screen will not be recorded as the first goTo event.
  • Require an initial root screen (or list of screens) for rememberSaveableBackStack().
  • Expose a top-level non-composable Navigator() factory function.

0.19.0

2024-02-09

This release introduces support for inter-screen navigation results. This is useful for scenarios where you want to pass data back to the previous screen after a navigation event, such as when a user selects an item from a list and you want to pass the selected item back to the previous screen.

var photoUrl by remember { mutableStateOf<String?>(null) }
val takePhotoNavigator = rememberAnsweringNavigator<TakePhotoScreen.Result>(navigator) { result ->
  photoUrl = result.url
}

// Elsewhere
takePhotoNavigator.goTo(TakePhotoScreen)

// In TakePhotoScreen.kt
data object TakePhotoScreen : Screen {
  @Parcelize
  data class Result(val url: String) : PopResult
}

class TakePhotoPresenter {
  @Composable fun present(): State {
    // ...
    navigator.pop(result = TakePhotoScreen.Result(newFilters))
  }
}

See the new section in the navigation docs for more details, as well as updates to the Overlays docs that help explain when to use an Overlay vs navigating to a Screen with a result.

Support for multiple back stacks

This release introduces support for saving/restoring navigation state on root resets (aka multi back stack). This is useful for scenarios where you want to reset the back stack to a new root but still want to retain the previous back stack’s state, such as an app UI that has a persistent bottom navigation bar with different back stacks for each tab.

This works by adding two new optional saveState and restoreState parameters to Navigator.resetRoot().

navigator.resetRoot(HomeNavTab1, saveState = true, restoreState = true)
// User navigates to a details screen
navigator.push(EntityDetails(id = foo))
// Later, user clicks on a bottom navigation item
navigator.resetRoot(HomeNavTab2, saveState = true, restoreState = true)
// Later, user switches back to the first navigation item
navigator.resetRoot(HomeNavTab1, saveState = true, restoreState = true)
// The existing back stack is restored, and EntityDetails(id = foo) will be top of
// the back stack

There are times when saving and restoring the back stack may not be appropriate, so use this feature only when it makes sense. A common example where it probably does not make sense is launching screens which define a UX flow which has a defined completion, such as onboarding.

New Tutorial!

On top of Circuit’s existing docs, we’ve added a new tutorial to help you get started with Circuit. It’s a step-by-step guide that walks you through building a simple inbox app using Circuit, intended to serve as a sort of small code lab that one could do in 1-2 hours. Check it out here.

Overlay Improvements

  • New: Promote AlertDialogOverlay, BasicAlertDialogOverlay, and BasicDialogOverlay to circuitx-overlay.
  • New: Add OverlayEffect to circuit-overlay. This offers a simple composable effect to show an overlay and await a result. 
    OverlayEffect(state) { host ->
  val result = host.show(AlertDialogOverlay(...))
  // Do something with the result
}
  • Add OverlayState and LocalOverlayState to circuit-overlay. This allows you to check the current overlay state (UNAVAILABLE, HIDDEN, or SHOWING).
  • Mark OverlayHost as @ReadOnlyOverlayApi to indicate that it’s not intended for direct implementation by consumers.
  • Mark Overlay as @Stable.

Misc

  • Make NavEvent.screen public.
  • Change Navigator.popUntil to be exclusive.
  • Add Navigator.peek() to peek the top screen of the back stack.
  • Add Navigator.peekBackStack() to peek the top screen of the back stack.
  • Align spelling of back stack parameters across all APIs to backStack.
  • Refreshed iOS Counter sample using SPM and SKIE.
  • Convert STAR sample to KMP. Starting with Android and Desktop.
  • Fix baseline profiles packaging. Due to a bug in the baseline profile plugin, we were not packaging the baseline profiles in the artifacts. This is now fixed.

0.15.0

2023-09-20

New: Allow retained state to be retained whilst UIs and Presenters are on the back stack.

Originally, circuit-retained was implemented as a solution for preserving arbitrary data across configuration changes on Android. With this change it now also acts as a solution for retaining state across the back stack, meaning that traversing the backstack no longer causes restored contents to re-run through their empty states anymore.

To support this, each back stack entry now has its own RetainedStateRegistry instance.

Note that circuit-retained is still optional for now, but we are considering making it part of CircuitCompositionLocals in the future. Please let us know your thoughts in this issue: https://github.com/slackhq/circuit/issues/891.

Full details + demos can be found in https://github.com/slackhq/circuit/pull/888. Big thank you to @chrisbanes for the implementation!

Other changes

  • New: Add collectAsRetainedState utility function, analogous to collectAsState but will retain the previous value across configuration changes and back stack entries.
  • Enhancement: Optimize rememberRetained with a port of the analogous optimization in rememberSaveable. See #850.
  • Enhancement: Presenter and Ui interfaces are now annotated as @Stable.
  • Fix: Fix GestureNavigationDecoration function parameter order.
  • Fix: BackHandler on iOS now has the proper file name.
  • Fix: Key the presenter.present() in CircuitContent on the Screen rather than the presenter itself, which fixes a severe issue that prevented currentCompositeKeyHash from working correctly on rememberRetained and rememberSaveable uses.
  • Update CM compiler to 1.5.2.
  • Update CM to 1.5.1.
  • Update androidx.compose.animation to 1.5.1.
  • Update androidx.compose.foundation to 1.5.1.
  • Update androidx.compose.runtime to 1.5.1.
  • Update androidx.compose.material to 1.5.1.
  • Update androidx.lifecycle to 2.6.2.
  • Update androidx.annotation to 1.7.0.

0.14.1

2023-09-03

  • New: Add GestureNavigationDecoration to CircuitX courtesy of @chrisbanes.

This is a new NavDecoration that allows for gesture-based navigation, such as predictive back in Android 14 or drag gestures in iOS. See the docs for more details.

NavigableCircuitContent(
  navigator = navigator,
  backstack = backstack,
  decoration = GestureNavigationDecoration(
    // Pop the back stack once the user has gone 'back'
    navigator::pop
  )
)
  • Fix embedded baseline profiles in published artifacts. Unfortunately GMDs used to generate these are quite finicky to run so these are sometimes tricky to regen each release.

Special thanks to @chrisbanes and @alexvanyo for contributing to this release!

0.14.0

2023-08-30

  • New: Circuit now supports JS targets!

Preliminary support for iOS targets

Following the announcement of Compose for iOS alpha, this release adds ios() and iosSimulatorArm64() targets for the Circuit core artifacts. Note that this support doesn’t come with any extra APIs yet for iOS, just basic target support only. We’re not super sure what direction we want to take with iOS, but encourage others to try it out and let us know what patterns you like. We have updated the Counter sample to include an iOS app target as well, using Circuit for the presentation layer only and SwiftUI for the UI.

Note that circuit-codegen and circuit-codegen-annotations don’t support these yet, as Anvil and Dagger only support JVM targets.

More details can be found in the PR: https://github.com/slackhq/circuit/pull/583

Misc

  • Use new baseline profile plugin for generating baseline profiles.
  • Misc sample app fixes and updates.
  • Add window size class example to STAR sample.
  • Switch to Roborazzi for screenshot test samples.
  • Small documentation updates.
  • Add bi-directional Flow/Circuit interop to interop sample.

Note that we unintentionally used an experimental animation API for NavigatorDefaults.DefaultDecotration, which may cause R8 issues if you use a newer, experimental version of Compose animation. To avoid issues, copy the animation code and use your own copy compiled against the newest animation APIs. We’ll fix this after Compose 1.5.0 is released.

0.8.0

2023-04-06

[Core] Split up core artifacts.

  • circuit-runtime: common runtime components like Screen, Navigator, etc.
  • circuit-runtime-presenter: the Presenter API, depends on circuit-runtime.
  • circuit-runtime-ui: the Ui API, depends on circuit-runtime.
  • circuit-foundation: the circuit foundational APIs like CircuitConfig, CircuitContent, etc. Depends on the first three.

The goal in this is to allow more granular dependencies and easier building against subsets of the API. For example, this would allow a presenter implementation to easily live in a standalone module that doesn’t depend on any UI dependencies. Vice versa for UI implementations.

Where we think this could really shine is in multiplatform projects where Circuit’s UI APIs may be more or less abstracted away in service of using native UI, like in iOS.

2023-02-02

Happy groundhog day!

  • Breaking API change: Ui.Content() now contains a Modifier parameter.

This allows you to pass modifiers on to UIs directly.

 public interface Ui<UiState : CircuitUiState> {
-  @Composable public fun Content(state: UiState)
+  @Composable public fun Content(state: UiState, modifier: Modifier)
 }
  • New: Add Navigator.resetRoot(Screen) function to reset the backstack root with a new root screen. There is a corresponding awaitResetRoot() function added to FakeNavigator.
  • New: Add EventListener.start callback function.
  • New: Add Compose UI dependency to circuit-core (to support Modifier in the API).
  • Fix: Fix CircuitContext.putTag generics.
  • Fix: Fix KSP code gen artifact to just be a pure JVM artifact.
  • Fix: EventListener.onState’s type is now CircuitUiState instead of Any.
  • Removed: ScreenUi is now removed and Ui.Factory simply returns Ui instances now.

  • API Change: CircuitConfig.onUnavailableContent is now no longer nullable. By default it displays a big ugly error text. If you want the previous behavior of erroring, replace it with a composable function that just throws an exception.

0.3.1

2022-11-07

  • Enhancement: Add back the onRootPop() parameter in rememberCircuitNavigator() but use LocalOnBackPressedDispatcherOwner for backpress handling by default.

0.3.0

2022-11-01

  • New: The Overlay API is now extracted to a separate, optional circuit-overlay artifact.
  • New: The circuit-core artifact now packages in baseline profiles.
  • Enhancement: Simplify backstack root pop handling. There is no more onRootPop() option in rememberCircuitNavigator(), instead you should install your own BackHandler() prior to rendering your circuit content to customize back behavior when the circuit Navigator is at root.
