Have different contexts for Factory and navigation #92

Closed vykut closed 1 year ago

vykut commented 1 year ago

Hello,

After we have replaced most of the navigation logic in our app with the APIs from this library, we have come across, what one might think of, a limitation of the Context approach. Currently, Factory & ContextAccepting protocols both expect a Context type, which, theoretically, can be different, but in practice we realized that it actually has to be the same.

Practically, How can I use a different Context type for creating a ViewController via Factory and a different Context for navigating to such controller and "injecting" a different state?

the Router method navigate accepts a single type of Context, so having 2 different types of Contexts - one for Factory and one for ContextSettingTask is currently not possible.
