Compose Destinations is a KSP annotation-processing library that generates type-safe navigation code on top of the official Jetpack Compose Navigation component. It eliminates boilerplate by letting developers annotate Composable functions with @Destination and derive navigation graphs, arguments, deep links, and animations from the function signatures.

Use cases

• navigate between Jetpack Compose screens with type-safe arguments
• remove boilerplate from Compose Navigation setup
• pass arguments between screens without manual bundle parsing
• set up nested navigation graphs in a Compose app
• add deep links to Compose screens
• return results back to a previous screen in Compose
• add navigation animations and bottom sheet destinations in Compose
• read navigation arguments in ViewModels via SavedStateHandle

When to choose

• you are building an Android app with Jetpack Compose and want type-safe navigation
• you find the official Navigation Compose API verbose or error-prone
• you want deep linking, animations, and bottom sheets with minimal setup
• you prefer code generation over hand-written route strings

When to avoid

• you are not using Jetpack Compose for your UI
• you want to avoid KSP/code-generation build steps
• your project depends on a navigation approach incompatible with the official Navigation component
• you need multiplatform Compose navigation beyond Android/Wear OS
