Bottom Sheet Recipe

This recipe demonstrates how to display a destination as a modal bottom sheet.

How it works

To show a destination as a bottom sheet, you need to do two things:

  1. Use BottomSheetSceneStrategy: Create an instance of BottomSheetSceneStrategy and pass it to the sceneStrategy parameter of the NavDisplay composable.

  2. Add metadata to the destination: For the destination that you want to display as a bottom sheet, add BottomSheetSceneStrategy.bottomSheet() to its metadata. This is done in the entry function.

In this example, RouteB is configured to be a bottom sheet. When you navigate from RouteA to RouteB, RouteB will be displayed in a modal bottom sheet that slides up from the bottom of the screen.

The content of the bottom sheet can be styled as needed. In this recipe, the content is clipped to have rounded corners.

For more information, see the official documentation on custom layouts.
