Usage #

Add packages to dependencies #

Add the package to dependencies in your project/packages's pubspec.yaml

  • null-safety
dependencies:
  # add for a package
  ff_annotation_route_core: any
  # add only for a project
  ff_annotation_route_library: any

Download with flutter packages get

Add annotation #

Empty Constructor

import 'package:ff_annotation_route/ff_annotation_route.dart';

@FFRoute(
  name: "fluttercandies://mainpage",
  routeName: "MainPage",
)
class MainPage extends StatelessWidget
{
  // ...
}

Constructor with arguments

The tool will handle it. What you should take care is that provide import url by setting argumentImports if it has class/enum argument.you can use @FFAutoImport() instead now.

or you can use --no-fast-mode for now, it will add parameters refer import automatically.

@FFAutoImport('hide TestMode2')
import 'package:example1/src/model/test_model.dart';
@FFAutoImport()
import 'package:example1/src/model/test_model1.dart' hide TestMode3;
import 'package:ff_annotation_route_library/ff_annotation_route_library.dart';

@FFRoute(
  name: 'flutterCandies://testPageE',
  routeName: 'testPageE',
  description: 'Show how to push new page with arguments(class)',
  // argumentImports are still work for some cases which you can't use @FFAutoImport()
  // argumentImports: <String>[
  //   'import \'package:example1/src/model/test_model.dart\';',
  //   'import \'package:example1/src/model/test_model1.dart\';',
  // ],
  exts: <String, dynamic>{
    'group': 'Complex',
    'order': 1,
  },
)
class TestPageE extends StatelessWidget {
  const TestPageE({
    this.testMode = const TestMode(
      id: 2,
      isTest: false,
    ),
    this.testMode1,
  });
  factory TestPageE.deafult() => TestPageE(
        testMode: TestMode.deafult(),
      );

  factory TestPageE.required({@required TestMode testMode}) => TestPageE(
        testMode: testMode,
      );

  final TestMode testMode;
  final TestMode1 testMode1;
}

FFRouteInformationParser

It's working on Web when you type in browser or report to browser. A delegate that is used by the [Router] widget to parse a route information into a configuration of type [RouteSettings].

for example:

xxx?a=1&b=2 <=> RouteSettings(name:'xxx',arguments:<String, dynamic>{'a':'1','b':'2'})

FFRouterDelegate

A delegate that is used by the [Router] widget to build and configure anavigating widget.

It provides push/pop methods like [Navigator].

  FFRouterDelegate.of(context).pushNamed<void>(
    Routes.flutterCandiesTestPageF.name,
    arguments: Routes.flutterCandiesTestPageF.d(
      <int>[1, 2, 3],
      map: <String, String>{'ddd': 'dddd'},
      testMode: const TestMode(id: 1, isTest: true),
    ),
  );

GetX #

How to use

Getx is supported, you just need to convert FFRouteSettings to GetPageRoute

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GetMaterialApp(
      title: 'ff_annotation_route demo',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      initialRoute: Routes.fluttercandiesMainpage.name,
      onGenerateRoute: (RouteSettings settings) {
        FFRouteSettings ffRouteSettings = getRouteSettings(
          name: settings.name!,
          arguments: settings.arguments as Map<String, dynamic>?,
          notFoundPageBuilder: () => Scaffold(
            appBar: AppBar(),
            body: const Center(
              child: Text('not find page'),
            ),
          ),
        );
        Bindings? binding;
        if (ffRouteSettings.codes != null) {
          binding = ffRouteSettings.codes!['binding'] as Bindings?;
        }

        Transition? transition;
        bool opaque = true;
        if (ffRouteSettings.pageRouteType != null) {
          switch (ffRouteSettings.pageRouteType) {
            case PageRouteType.cupertino:
              transition = Transition.cupertino;
              break;
            case PageRouteType.material:
              transition = Transition.downToUp;
              break;
            case PageRouteType.transparent:
              opaque = false;
              break;
            default:
          }
        }

        return GetPageRoute(
          binding: binding,
          opaque: opaque,
          settings: ffRouteSettings,
          transition: transition,
          page: () => ffRouteSettings.builder(),
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

How to set the parameter of GetPageRoute

for example: 'Bindings' is not const class, so it can't write in annotation, but you can set it as following codes:

  1. define it in codes
  2. add import url in argumentImports
  3. get it in onGenerateRoute
@FFRoute(
  name: "/BindingsPage",
  routeName: 'BindingsPage',
  description: 'how to use Bindings with Annotation.',
  codes: <String, String>{
    'binding': 'Bindings1()',
  },
  argumentImports: <String>[
    'import \'package:example_getx/src/bindings/bindings1.dart\';'
  ],
)

      onGenerateRoute: (RouteSettings settings) {
        FFRouteSettings ffRouteSettings = getRouteSettings(
          name: settings.name!,
          arguments: settings.arguments as Map<String, dynamic>?,
          notFoundPageBuilder: () => Scaffold(
            appBar: AppBar(),
            body: const Center(
              child: Text('not find page'),
            ),
          ),
        );
        Bindings? binding;
        if (ffRouteSettings.codes != null) {
          binding = ffRouteSettings.codes!['binding'] as Bindings?;
        }

        Transition? transition;
        bool opaque = true;
        if (ffRouteSettings.pageRouteType != null) {
          switch (ffRouteSettings.pageRouteType) {
            case PageRouteType.cupertino:
              transition = Transition.cupertino;
              break;
            case PageRouteType.material:
              transition = Transition.downToUp;
              break;
            case PageRouteType.transparent:
              opaque = false;
              break;
            default:
          }
        }

        return GetPageRoute(
          binding: binding,
          opaque: opaque,
          settings: ffRouteSettings,
          transition: transition,
          page: () => ffRouteSettings.builder(),
        );
      },

I can do without it, but you must have it #

Interceptor #

Route Interceptor

Implement RouteInterceptor

Implement a RouteInterceptor to intercept route transitions for a specific page based on your scenario.

class LoginInterceptor extends RouteInterceptor {
  const LoginInterceptor();

  @override
  Future<RouteInterceptResult> intercept(
    String routeName, {
    Object? arguments,
  }) async {
    if (!User().hasLogin) {
      return RouteInterceptResult.complete(
        routeName: Routes.fluttercandiesLoginPage.name,
      );
    }

    return RouteInterceptResult.next(
      routeName: routeName,
      arguments: arguments,
    );
  }
}

Here are the possible scenarios corresponding to RouteInterceptResult.complete, RouteInterceptResult.next, and RouteInterceptResult.abort:

/// Represents the possible actions a route interceptor can take
/// after being invoked during the route interception process.
enum RouteInterceptAction {
  /// Stops the interception chain and cancels any further actions.
  /// This indicates that the current interceptor has determined
  /// that no route should be pushed, and the navigation process should be aborted.
  abort,

  /// Moves to the next interceptor in the chain.
  /// This indicates that the current interceptor does not want to handle
  /// the route and delegates the decision to subsequent interceptors.
  next,

  /// Completes the interception process and allows the route to be pushed.
  /// This indicates that the current interceptor has handled the route
  /// and the navigation should proceed as expected.
  complete,
}

Add interceptors Annotation

Add an interceptors annotation to the page for route interception.

@FFRoute(
  name: 'fluttercandies://PageA',
  routeName: 'PageA',
  description: 'PageA',
  interceptors: <RouteInterceptor>[
    LoginInterceptor(),
  ],
)
class PageA extends StatefulWidget {
  const PageA({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<PageA> createState() => _PageAState();
}
Generate Mapping

Execute ff_route to generate the interceptor mapping.

/// The routeInterceptors auto generated by https://github.com/fluttercandies/ff_annotation_route
const Map<String, List<RouteInterceptor>> routeInterceptors =
    <String, List<RouteInterceptor>>{
  'fluttercandies://PageA': <RouteInterceptor>[LoginInterceptor()],
  'fluttercandies://PageB': <RouteInterceptor>[
    LoginInterceptor(),
    PermissionInterceptor()
  ],
};
Complete configuration
void main() {
  RouteInterceptorManager().addAllRouteInterceptors(routeInterceptors);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Global Interceptor

If you don’t want to add interceptors in the annotation, you can choose to use global interceptors.

Implement RouteInterceptor

You can write your logic here based on your specific scenario.

class GlobalLoginInterceptor extends RouteInterceptor {
  const GlobalLoginInterceptor();
  @override
  Future<RouteInterceptResult> intercept(String routeName,
      {Object? arguments}) async {
    if (routeName == Routes.fluttercandiesPageB.name ||
        routeName == Routes.fluttercandiesPageA.name) {
      if (!User().hasLogin) {
        return RouteInterceptResult.complete(
          routeName: Routes.fluttercandiesLoginPage.name,
        );
      }
    }

    return RouteInterceptResult.next(
      routeName: routeName,
      arguments: arguments,
    );
  }
}
Complete configuration
void main() {
  RouteInterceptorManager().addGlobalInterceptors([
    const GlobalLoginInterceptor(),
    const GlobalPermissionInterceptor(),
  ]);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

push route

  1. You can use the NavigatorWithInterceptorExtension extension to call methods with WithInterceptor.
    Navigator.of(context).pushNamedWithInterceptor(
      Routes.fluttercandiesPageA.name,
    );
  1. Call the static methods of NavigatorWithInterceptor.
    NavigatorWithInterceptor.pushNamed(
      context,
      Routes.fluttercandiesPageB.name,
    );

Lifecycle #

RouteLifecycleState

By inheriting from RouteLifecycleState, you can easily detect various states of the page.

The onPageShow and onPageHide callbacks are only triggered when the current component is hosted by a PageRoute.

class _PageBState extends RouteLifecycleState<PageB> {
  @override

ExtendedRouteObserver

[ExtendedRouteObserver] is a utility class that extends the functionality of Flutter's built-in RouteObserver. It allows for more advanced route management and tracking in the navigation stack. This class maintains an internal list of active routes and provides several utility methods for route inspection and manipulation.

Key features of [ExtendedRouteObserver]:

  • Tracks all active routes in the navigation stack.
  • Provides access to the top-most route via the topRoute getter.
  • Allows checking if a specific route exists in the stack with containsRoute().
  • Enables retrieval of a route by its name using getRouteByName().
  • Notifies subscribers when a route is added or removed via onRouteAdded and onRouteRemoved.
  • Supports custom actions when a route is added or removed via onRouteAdd() and onRouteRemove().

This class is useful in cases where global route tracking or advanced navigation behavior is needed, such as:

  • Monitoring which routes are currently active.
  • Handling custom navigation logic based on the current route stack.
  • Implementing a navigation history feature or a breadcrumb-style navigator.

By leveraging this class, developers can gain better insight into and control over their app's navigation state.

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      navigatorObservers: <NavigatorObserver>[ExtendedRouteObserver()],
    );
  }

GlobalNavigator class is a utility class for managing global navigation actions. It provides easy access to the Navigator and BuildContext from anywhere in the app.

context is a crucial part of Flutter, involving many key functionalities such as themes, routing, and dependency injection. Flutter’s design philosophy is based on the propagation of context through the widget tree, allowing context to access relevant information and functionalities, which helps maintain good component separation and maintainability.

While it is possible to directly access the Navigator or context via a global navigatorKey in certain situations, it is generally not recommended to use this approach regularly, especially when Flutter’s recommended patterns (such as accessing via context) work well.

This approach can introduce some potential issues:

  1. Violates Flutter’s Design Philosophy: Flutter’s original design is based on localized navigation and state management through BuildContext. Bypassing context with a global approach may lead to state management confusion and make the code harder to maintain.

  2. Potential Performance Issues: Accessing context globally may bypass Flutter’s optimization mechanisms, as Flutter relies on the context tree’s structure for efficient UI updates.

  3. Poor Maintainability: Relying on global navigation can make the code more difficult to understand and maintain, especially as the app grows larger. It may become hard to track navigation flow and state.
