auto_go_route 2.0.0

Type-safe, code-generated routing for Flutter. Full go_router feature parity with typed path and query parameters, shells, guards and transitions.

2.0.0

A breaking release. See MIGRATION.md for a step-by-step guide; most apps need a dependency bump, one annotation rename and typed navigation arguments.

Fixed

• The build no longer hangs or dies on modern Dart. The generator pinned analyzer: ^7.0.0, whose supported language version is 3.9.0, so on Dart 3.10+ it failed with Missing implementation of visitDotShorthandPropertyAccess. The analyzer constraint is now >=8.2.0 <15.0.0, and a regression test builds a fixture using post-3.9 syntax (#3).
• A parent: cycle is reported instead of hanging. The parent chain was walked with no visited set, so a widget naming itself — or any two naming each other — spun forever inside the build step.
• context.pushNamed(...) compiles again. A 1.x extension member collided with go_router's, making every call site that imported both packages fail with ambiguous_extension_member_access. The method also recursed into itself. Removed.
• Optional path parameters no longer produce unreachable routes. :id? registered the literal pattern /search/:$1; it is now a build error naming the two things that do work.
• Parameter values are no longer corrupted or fabricated. A parameter name that prefixed another (:id and :idCard) silently produced /user/5/card/5Card; the required-parameter regex backtracked, so every optional parameter also generated a truncated phantom sibling; and getParam<int> returned 0 for a missing value while getParam<int?> threw for a present one.
• A shell's initialRoute is honoured on every shell, not only the root one, and a stateful shell's branches now receive an initialLocation — a nested shell as a branch previously landed outside itself.
• The root shell is no longer emitted twice. Removal matched a string in the generated source that only the stateful branch produced, so a plain or pageBuilder root shell was duplicated and go_router rejected the result.
• Generated output is deterministic. Asset discovery order is unspecified and sibling sorting was not total, so match precedence and stateful-shell branch indices could permute between builds.
• A resolution failure is fatal. Errors during discovery went to log.info, below default verbosity, so the build "succeeded" with routes missing.
• toBoolOrNull returns null for unrecognised input; ?admin=no read as true.
• RouteRegistry.generateGoRoutes(globalRedirect:) composes rather than overwrites GoRoute.redirect, which had been silently deleting every route's guard; validate() accepts the shapes the generator emits; and GoRoute.copyWith forwards all ten fields instead of dropping five.
• @AutoGoRoute(caseSensitive:) is now bool? and overrides the router-wide default; the two were ANDed, so a route could not opt back in.
• RoutePaths.props excludes the builder closure, so two instances of a route are equal and hash stably.
• currentRouteName returns a route's name rather than its matched location, which had made isOnNamedRoute always false.
• popUntilRoute compared a URL against a template and popped the whole stack; popUntilLocation compares matched locations and is bounded.
• RouteUtils.isValidPath accepted no parameterised path at all; sanitizePath lower-cased, changing which route a URL matches under go_router 15+.
• AdaptiveOverlayPage separates backgroundColor from barrierColor, honours its configuration on the dialog branch, closes over its child instead of casting ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings, and takes a breakpoint.
• Route names are validated as Dart identifiers and for uniqueness after capitalisation; descriptions are escaped; duplicated path parameters, metadata values that cannot be re-emitted, and conflicting error handlers are all build errors now.
• Every function, key and constant an annotation names by string is resolved against the router library at build time, so a typo is reported at the annotation rather than as Undefined name inside the generated file.
• Removed documentation: from pubspec.yaml, which pointed at an unrelated package, and the build_runner/generator dev_dependencies, which this package does not use and which put the lowest supported Flutter out of reach of pub get.
• currentLocation, currentRouteName, currentRouteTemplate, isOnRoute and popUntilLocation follow imperative pushes to the visible route instead of reporting the one underneath.
• A stateful shell's metadata reaches its children. StatefulShellRoute's indexedStack constructor has no metadata parameter, so it was dropped; shells now use the general constructor with an equivalent layout, exposed as ShellRoutePaths.indexedStackContainerBuilder.
• Animated pages and AdaptiveOverlayPage no longer crash outside a MaterialApp when a dismissible barrier needs a label.
• RouteUtils.normalizePath no longer drops the first segment of a location starting //; isValidTemplate accepts regex constraints containing ? or #; GoRoute.copyWith accepts go_router's own ExitCallback; getParam<dynamic> returns the raw string instead of throwing.

Added

• Typed path and query parameters end to end. String, int, double, num, bool, BigInt, DateTime, Uri and enums, nullable or not, plus List<T> for repeated query keys. Backed by the new public RouteCodec.
• @PathParam, @QueryParam, @RouteExtra, @RouteIgnore to override classification or rename a wire parameter. Markers are read from the backing field as well as the constructor parameter.
• Full go_router parity. New on @AutoGoRoute: redirect, onExit, parentNavigatorKey, caseSensitive, metadata, pageBuilder, transition, transitionDurationMs, reverseTransitionDurationMs, fullscreenDialog, opaque, barrierDismissible, barrierColor, restorationId. New on @AutoGoRouteShell: middleware, redirect, parentNavigatorKey, metadata, observers, restorationScopeId, notifyRootObserver, navigatorContainerBuilder. New on @AutoGoRouteBase: navigatorKey, initialExtra, errorPageBuilder, errorWidget, onException, onEnter, observers, refreshListenable, extraCodec, redirectLimit, routerNeglect, debugLogDiagnostics, overridePlatformDefaultLocation, requestFocus, restorationScopeId, caseSensitive, generateRouteEnum.
• @AutoGoRouteBranch for preload, initialLocation, navigatorKey, observers and restorationScopeId on a stateful shell's branches — declared on the child, where branch identity actually lives.
• buildRouter({...}) takes every GoRouter option, defaulting to the annotation, and the route tree is public as routes. The package's own example no longer needs to hand-roll a GoRouter.
• AutoRouteTransition with ten presets and a public buildAutoRoutePage() so custom page builders can reuse them.
• Generated conveniences: locationOf… (build a URL without navigating), replaceInPlaceWith… (go_router's replace), fragment: on every helper, routeName/routeTemplate constants per route, and an AppRoute enum of every route.
• state.metadataAs<T>(), getEnumParam, getParamList, extraAs<T>, and RouteParamFormatException, which names the parameter, the expected type and the raw value.
• Dynamic routing: generated buildRoutingConfig() and buildDynamicRouter(routingConfig:) wrap GoRouter.routingConfig, so the route table can change at runtime while every other option keeps its annotation default.
• Branch enums: every stateful shell gets a <Shell>Branch enum in tab order, with go, goFrom(context), of and isActiveIn — no more bare goBranch(1) indices drifting when order: changes.
• The barrel re-exports go_router and the handful of Flutter types generated code names (BuildContext, GlobalKey, ValueListenable, …), so a router library needs only import 'package:auto_go_route/auto_go_route.dart'.
• A source_globs build option to narrow the annotation scan, and @AutoGoRouteBase(sourceGlobs:) to scope one router in a package with several.
• RouteCodec list readers for every scalar type (boolList, numList, bigIntList, dateTimeList, uriList), and RouteRegistry.findClosest now treats path parameters as wildcards and credits near-miss typos.
• Every 1.x navigation helper removed from the API (safePop, popOrHome, canPopSafely, goWithParams, goToNamed, popUntilRoute, GoRouter.location, safeLocation, safeCurrentRouteName) is back as a deprecated shim over its replacement.
• 329 tests across the runtime (198), the generator (99) and the example app (32), and a CI workflow covering the Flutter floor, both ends of the generator's dependency range, four platform builds, codegen drift and pub publish --dry-run.
• AI assistant support: an llms.txt brief ships with the package, and the README has copy-paste prompts for setting the package up, converting a go_router configuration, upgrading from 1.x, adding screens, guards and bottom navigation, and fixing build errors.
• Documentation: a restructured README with a table of contents, a screenshot gallery, collapsible reference sections and troubleshooting, plus MIGRATION.md and CONTRIBUTING.md. The example app was redesigned to show the live URL and decoded parameters on every screen, and its screenshots are the package's pub.dev gallery.

Changed

• Requires go_router >=17.5.0 <19.0.0, Flutter >=3.38.1, Dart >=3.10.0. (Flutter 3.38.0 itself bundles a pre-release Dart that >=3.10.0 excludes.) The old floor (go_router: ^16.2.4 with flutter: ">=3.0.0") was never satisfiable.
• The annotation scan skips libraries whose source does not mention AutoGoRoute before resolving them, which is most of the build cost on a large package; required_inputs: ['.dart'] is gone, so this builder no longer runs behind every other Dart generator.
• NestedRoutePaths joins paths with go_router's own algorithm, so the URL it builds is the URL go_router matches.
• RouteRegistry.scoped() creates an isolated registry; RouteRegistry() still returns the singleton.
• Guard chains stay synchronous when their guards are, so a guarded route no longer defers navigation by a frame.
