flutterintent 1.0.0

A navigation Wrapper for the Flutter navigation system

flutterintent

flutterintent helps you to make your navigation easier and readable. It implements the intent pattern of the Android Framework.

Getting Started with the plugin

1. Add to your pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
	flutter:
		sdk: flutter
	flutterintent:

2. Import it

import  'package:flutterintent/flutterintent.dart';

3. Use it

Send an intent:

FlutterIntent(context:context,name: "/page2")
..startActivity();

Send an intent and attach data:

FlutterIntent(context:context,name: "/page2")
..putExtra("myString","Hello World")
..putObjectExtra("myObject",Car(color: "red")
..startActivity();

Get an intent and the attached data:

This plugin required the usage of the onGenerateRoute attribute of the MaterialApp or CupertinoApp Widget. For getting the intent we send we have to setup the following:

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      onGenerateRoute: (settings)  {
        //Convert settings to flutter intent type
        return FlutterIntentService.fromRouteSettings(settings, (intent) {
            //Do always a null check, because on start the intent is always null
            if(intent == null || intent.name == "/")
              return HomePage();
            if(intent.name == "/page2") {
              //fetch the string which is send with the key "myString"
              var text = intent.getStringExtra("myString"); //Hello World
              return PageTwo(text: text)
            }
        });
      },
    );
  }

Start a widget for getting a result If you want to get a result back from a widget when it's closed you can use startForResult():

//Page 1
FlutterIntent(context: context,name: "/page2")
..startForResult((result,intent,requestCode) {
    if(result == Result.ok && requestCode == 200) {
        print(intent.getStringExtra("hello_world"))
    }
})
..

Set Result and send data back to previous widget:

//Page 2
FlutterIntent.setResult(context: context,result: Result.ok)
..putExtra("hello_world","Hello World")
..finish()
..

Profit! :)
