UIViewController as dependencies

[iRILLLL]

Hi there,

currently I am using factory like this to pass around view controller

in HomeInterface module

public protocol HomeViewControllerFactory {
    func makeProductViewController(id: String) -> UIViewController
    func makeProductListViewController() -> UIViewController
}

the implementation is created on the main target.
and then from the main target, I pass around the implementation of HomeViewControllerFactory to HomeViewController (located in HomeImpl module.)

I wonder if I can use this library to simplify this, so I don't have to pass around the factory implementation to leaf view controllers.

so far here what I've done
in HomeInterface module

public struct HomeViewControllerFactory {
    public var makeProductViewController: @Sendable (String) async throws -> UIViewController
    
    public init(
        makeProductViewController: @Sendable @escaping (String) -> UIViewController
    ) {
        self.makeProductViewController = makeProductViewController
    }
}

public enum ViewControllerFactoryKey: TestDependencyKey {
    public static var testValue = HomeViewControllerFactory(
        makeProductViewController: XCTUnimplemented("\(Self.self).makeProductViewController")
    )
}

extension DependencyValues {
    public var viewControllerFactory: HomeViewControllerFactory {
        get { self[ViewControllerFactoryKey.self] }
        set { self[ViewControllerFactoryKey.self] = newValue }
    }
}

in main target

extension ViewControllerFactoryKey: DependencyKey {
    public static var liveValue = HomeViewControllerFactory(
        makeProductViewController: { id in
            return ProductViewController(id: id)
    )
}

is it recommended to do this using the library?

I have still no idea how to pass the reducer (example: StoreOf<ProductDetail>) using the pattern above, so I pass the id instead.
because I put ProductDetailReducer in ProductImpl module, the HomeViewControllerFactory doesn't know anything about it.

regards.
