Description

Hi! I'm currently working on an app that has a bottom navigation pattern which is working great using one parent controller and subsequent child (nested) controllers placed inside a container.

My question: Let's assume that our user is at the home controller (which as I said is nested on a parent controller through a container view) and navigates to its profile by tapping on the bottom navigation bar, which actually makes the main controller replace the container's controller from "home" to "profile". Now the user is in its profile and wants to open its settings. Is there a way for the settings controller to cover up the bottom bar navigation which is located on the parent controller?

Should I replace the parent controller (which contains the navigation bar) from the child?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading Conductor's controller and container-navigation documentation, then trace how the parent and nested controllers are composed. Done means establishing whether settings should cover the bottom bar or whether the parent controller must be replaced, with maintainer guidance on the supported approach.
