Koin: How to get viewModel from Koin with SavedStateHandle (new Google announced at I/O 2019)

[ghost]

I'm concerning how to get ViewModel from Koin with SavedStateHandle.
Here is my DI class:
ViewModelModule.kt

viewModel { ProfileViewModel(userApi = get()) }

Now, I want to try using SavedState module for viewModule that is announced from Google I/O 2019.
Link: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel-savedstate

So I declared in my ViewModel as below:

class ProfileViewModel(
    private val userApi: UserApi, 
    private val stateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : ViewModel() {

Base on Koin concept, I just need define viewModel in ProfileActivity.kt class:

private val viewModel: ProfileViewModel by inject()

But, what should I do with my DI class ViewModelModule.kt to get SavedStateHandle ?

I'm pretty sure that this isn't possible at the moment.

@IVIanuu
Thank for the reply.
Basically I think so

On dagger that's is solved using @AssistedInject, can we expect something similar coming to Koin?

have to check how to use this SavedStateVMFactory with constructor injection

Any updates on this?

I think we would need to add DSL which passes a savedStateParameter to the bean definition. I could look at it..

viewModelWithState { (savedState: SavedStateHandle, someArgument : String) -> MyViewModel(savedState, someArgument, get(), get()) }

I added a PR for this #496 would appreciate feedback. I know it forces the lifecycle dependencies to update, maybe we can discuss it.

@arnaudgiuliani I think this will be essential functionality. is there a bleeding edge branch you use to point to the latest versions of androidx? If so that would be a better target. I would also love to here your thoughts on my implementation. #496

[arnaudgiuliani]

ok, will check that
