@Composable
fun MyAppNavHost(
    navController: NavHostController,
    modifier: Modifier,
) {
    NavHost(
        navController = navController,
        startDestination = Destinations.NewsListScreen.route,
        modifier = modifier,
    ) {
        // bottom navigation screens & nested graphs
        newsListGraph(navController)
        favoriteNewsGraph(navController)
        profileGraph(navController)

        // common screens in entire app
        newsDetailGraph()

        ...
    }
}

For prevent to create a huge main navGraph, we split it to separate screens and nested graphs. In fact, every screen has its own composable wrapped by a NavGraphBuilder extension function. For a common screen be like:

fun NavGraphBuilder.VerifyCodeGraph() {
    composable(
        route = Destinations.VerifyCodeScreen().route,
    ) {
        VerifyCodeScreen()
    }
}

For managing the route of every screen, we can use a sealed class like this:

sealed class Destinations(val route: String) {
    object NewsListScreen : Destinations("news_list_screen")
    data class NewsDetailScreen(val news: String = "news") : Destinations("news_detail_screen")
    object FavoriteNewsScreen : Destinations("favorite_news_screen")
    object ProfileScreen : Destination("profile_screen")
    object SettingScreen : Destination("setting_screen")
    object ThemeScreen : Destination("theme_screen")
    object LoginScreen : Destination("login_screen")
    object VerifyCodeScreen : Destination("verify_code_screen")
    ...
}
fun NavGraphBuilder.settingListGraph(
    navController: NavController,
) {
    composable(Destinations.SettingScreen.route) {
        NewsListRoute(
            onNavigateToThemeScreen = {
                navController.navigate(
                    route = Destinations.ThemeScreen().route,
                )
            }
        )
    }
}

In this way, there is no need to depend your feature module on the navigation library. There will be the app module responsibility to handle navigation stuff.
If some screens can be grouped in a nested graph, do like this:

fun NavGraphBuilder.profileGraph(
    navController: NavHostController
) {
    navigation(
        startDestination = Destination.ProfileScreen.route,
        route = Destination.ProfileScreen.route.addGraphPostfix(),
    ) {
        composable(Destination.ProfileScreen.route) {
            ProfileScreen(
                onNavigationToLoginScreen = {
                    navController.navigate(
                        route = Destination.LoginScreen.route.addGraphPostfix(),
                    )
                }
            )
        }
        loginGraph()
    }
}

public open fun navigate(
    @IdRes resId: Int,
    args: Bundle?,
    navOptions: NavOptions?,
    navigatorExtras: Navigator.Extras?
)

‌As you can see, it gets an id for the destination. Let’s write an extension function so we can use it:

fun NavController.navigate(
    route: String,
    args: Bundle,
    navOptions: NavOptions? = null,
    navigatorExtras: Navigator.Extras? = null
) {
    val routeLink = NavDeepLinkRequest
        .Builder
        .fromUri(NavDestination.createRoute(route).toUri())
        .build()

    val deepLinkMatch = graph.matchDeepLink(routeLink)
    if (deepLinkMatch != null) {
        val destination = deepLinkMatch.destination
        val id = destination.id
        navigate(id, args, navOptions, navigatorExtras)
    } else {
        navigate(route, navOptions, navigatorExtras)
    }
}

And for using this function in the source screen:

fun NavGraphBuilder.newsListGraph(
    navController: NavController,
) {
    composable(Destinations.NewsListScreen.route) {
        NewsListScreen(
            onNavigateToDetailScreen = { news ->
                navController.navigate(
                    route = Destinations.NewsDetailScreen().route,
                    args = bundleOf(Destinations.NewsDetailScreen().news to news)
                )
            }
        )
    }
}

In the destination screen:

fun NavGraphBuilder.newsDetailScreen() {
    composable(
        route = Destinations.NewsDetailScreen().route,
    ) { entry ->
        val news = entry.parcelableData<News>(Destinations.NewsDetailScreen().news)
        NewsDetailScreen(news = news,)
    }
}


inline fun <T> NavBackStackEntry.parcelableData(key: String): T? {
    return arguments?.parcelable(key) as? T
}

    I’ve been thinking for a long time how to pass parameters in an object-oriented way. This is the best solution on the internet! Simple and fast. No need to play with json and reflection.
    In Tiramisu, the getParcelable(String key) method is currently deprecated, so I have to make a condition and use getParcelable(String key, Class clazz).
    Thank you so much for help. Regards.
