Navigation

note

flutter_meedu uses navigator 1.0 in its router module and there is not planned add navigator 2.0 as a new router module because there is not an easy way to create a router package with navigator 2.0 that fits all posible navigation flows that a developer might want to create.

In that case you can use any other package on pub.dev to manage your navigation with navigation 2.0 and use flutter_meedu to manage your state without any problem just be sure to add the flutter_meedu observer in your navigatorObservers.

To navigate between page without a BuildContext you can use the meedu's router module.

In your MaterialApp

import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      navigatorKey: router.navigatorKey, // add the navigator key
      navigatorObservers: [
        router.observer,// <-- ADD THIS
      ],
      home: HomePage(),
      routes: {YOUR_ROUTES},
    );
  }
}

Now you can navigate without BuildContext

import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';
.
.
.
router.pushNamed('detail-page', arguments: "your-arguments");

If you want get your arguments

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';

class DetailPage extends StatelessWidget {
  const DetailPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final arguments = router.arguments as String;
    return YOUR_WIDGET;
  }
}

onGenerateRoute#

If you want to use the onGenerateRoute parameter of your MaterialApp or CupertinoApp you must define the key parameter.

import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      key: router.appKey,// add the route key
      navigatorKey: router.navigatorKey, // add the navigator key
      navigatorObservers: [
        router.observer,// <-- ADD THIS
      ],
      onGenerateRoute: (settings) {
        final name = settings.name;
        switch (name) {
          case '/':
            return MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (_) => HomePage(),
            );

          case '/counter':
            return MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (_) => CounterPage(),
            );
          default:
            return MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (_) => Scaffold(
                appBar: AppBar(),
                body: Center(
                  child: Text("Page not found"),
                ),
              ),
            );
        }
      },
    );
  }
}

Named routes with custom transitions#

If you want to override the default transition when use named routes you need to define the key parameter of your MaterialApp or CupertinoApp

import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';

void main() {
  // overrride the default page transition for named and non named routes
  router.setDefaultTransition(router.Transition.downToUp);
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      key: router.appKey,// add the route key
      navigatorKey: router.navigatorKey, // add the navigator key
      navigatorObservers: [
        router.observer,// <-- ADD THIS
      ],
      home: HomePage(),
      routes: {YOUR_ROUTES},
    );
  }
}

info

Posible transitions

enum Transition {
  fadeIn,
  rightToLeft,
  upToDown,
  downToUp,
  zoom,
  none,
  cupertino,
  material,
}

Testing#

For widget testing you will need to dispose the NavigatorState created by router.navigatorKey before or after each test

import 'package:flutter_meedu/ui.dart';

.
.
.

setUp((){
  router.dispose();
});

// or

tearDown((){
  router.dispose();
});
