Direkt

Direkt is a Swift port of DRYNavigationManager.

Like the original, it is meant for projects which do not rely on Storyboard segues, providing separation of navigation and view controller logic code. It follows same architectural concept, but leverages Swift programming techniques to provide more type safety and native API feel.

Usage

Library defines a few core protocols that the users will be working with:

• Navigator - Core objects responsible for navigation flow. Their task is to run the transition code e.g. pushing a view controller onto the navigation stack.
• NavigationManager - The task of those objects, as the name suggests, is to manage navigators. Meaning the object will need to create given navigator instance upon navigation request. BaseNavigationManager is an open implementaion of the protocol that you can use directly or extend.
• Resolver protocol type used for dependencies resolution.

Example implementation of Navigator pushing a view controller onto the navigation stack:

func navigate(using input: String, from hostViewController: UIViewController, resolver: Resolver) throws {
    guard let navigationController = hostViewController.navigationController else {
        throw Error.missingNavigationController
    }

    try navigationController.pushViewController(
        resolver.resolve(HelloViewController.self, input: input),
        animated: true
    )
}
