Back Handling

Each navigator has a overrideBackPress that is stateful and can be updated to allow overriding the back press. It's set to true by default and it pops the back stack as we click back.

We can override back press in our Composables by using NavBackHandler:

@Composable
fun HomeScreen() { 
    NavBackHandler(enabled = true) {
        // Now the navigator will not pop the back stack.
    }
}

You can also initialize the navigator with overrideBackPress = false and use your own logic for back handling based on the backstack.
