Getting started

To use the CircularClipRoute, provide it the context from which the animation should expand and push it onto the navigation stack. One way to get the right context is to use a Builder, which wraps the widget from which the route should expand:

final navigationTrigger = Builder(
    builder: (context) {
      return IconButton(
          icon: Icon(Icons.favorite),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.push(context, CircularClipRoute<void>(
              // This context will be used to determine the location and size of
              // the expanding clip. Here this will resolve to the `IconButton`.
              expandFrom: context,
              builder: (_) => MyRoute(),
            ));
          }
      );
    }
);

Also, take a look at the API docs for customizing the animation.
