Question 1

Is Composable Navigator still maintained for SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, the project is marked as unmaintained in the README, so it may not receive updates for new SwiftUI versions, making it risky for long-term projects.

Question 2

How to implement deep linking with Composable Navigator?

Accepted Answer

Use the included ComposableDeeplinking library to parse URLs into Deeplink objects and update navigation paths via a DeeplinkHandler, as described in the wiki documentation.

Question 3

Composable Navigator vs SwiftUI's native navigation: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Choose Composable Navigator for complex, testable navigation with deep linking in large apps, but stick with vanilla SwiftUI for simpler projects due to its lower overhead and active maintenance.

Question 4

Can I use Composable Navigator without The Composable Architecture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the core library works without TCA, but some helper packages like ComposableNavigatorTCA are integrated, and future extraction plans might affect dependency management.

Question 5

How to test navigation logic in SwiftUI with this library?

Accepted Answer

Inject the navigator and currentScreenID from the environment in unit tests to simulate navigation actions, avoiding UI tests for logic coverage, as shown in the example.

Question 6

What are the alternatives to Composable Navigator for SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Consider libraries like SwiftUI Navigation or custom Coordinators, but note that Composable Navigator's unique composable tree approach is best for deep linking and testability, though it's unmaintained.
