Web demo of Router usage.
Navigator 2.0 Pages API example and Router example.
The main point of these examples is to show how to extract basic navigation logic to separate class (e.g. ChangeNotifier). I'm using 2 approaches:
- Pages API
- Router widget
Both of them use separate PageManager (or RoutePageManager) to handle navigation stack.
Navigator's Pages API is a convenient way to declaratively set navigation stack in your Flutter app. Take a look at the main.dart entry point and please notice custom PageManager class that is handling list of pages provided to Navigator.
For more complex and robust needs you may use the Router widget. Simple implementation can be found in main_router.dart entry point. Take a look at the custom TheAppPath class storing typed path information and RoutePageManager handling list of pages provided to the Navigator.
Because the RoutePageManager is notifying the Router about its changes and the currentPath is used as currentConfiguration the address bar in the browser is reflecting the stack changes:
@override
TheAppPath get currentConfiguration => pageManager.currentPath;
