Passing ViewModel getting Error about compose-destinations

You don't need to pass viewModel manually. It should be injected by hilt. Pass only visisDetails parameter.

Suppose in HomeViewModel I have data of user and I am moving from HomeScreen to Profile Screen and loading same HomeViewModel in ProfileScreen using hilt then there is no data of user. Like that HomeViewModel loads at new object with empty data. How to resolve this issue?

[deividas717]

You can pass user reference as an argument to AppointmentScreenDestionation

@Destination
@Composable
fun AppointmentScreen(
    navigator: DestinationsNavigator,
    visitDetail: VisitResponse,
    user: User
) {
 // rest of the logic 
}

Or better retrieve user info from database or preferences.

So it means there is no way to pass viewmodel with full data from one Composable screen to another just like we did in Fragments in older way?

ViewModels cannot be navigation arguments, this wasn’t different with Fragments.
If you want, you can share a ViewModel by getting it on the second screen, if you know what that ViewModel is tied to (Maybe the previous back stack entry, or a nav graph back stack entry, or the activity).
