Captain

an imperative way to navigate declaratively

Placing it in the widget tree

place the Captain()widget at the same postition inside your widget tree where your Router or Navigator widget would reside. Best practice is placing the main Router beneath the Material/Cupertino/WidgetsApp like:

...
    MaterialApp(
        home: Captain(
            pages: ...,
            ...
        ),
    ),

Navigate with Captain

Captain supports imperative navigation style by complying to the Navigator.of(context) format

Use either:

• .action(Object actionKey)for invoking predefined actions that have been registered to the Captain Widget
• .actionFunc(List<Page> Function(List<Page>)) which takes a List and returns a List which will be the new Page stack for the App

Example

Navigator.of(context).action("myActionKey");
Navigator.of(context).actionFunc((pageStack) => pageStack..add(pageToAdd));
