raku_router 0.2.0

A tiny, code-generation-free, UI-agnostic router for Flutter: type-safe sealed routes, declarative deep linking, and built-in nested tabs with per-branch back stacks.

0.2.0

Additive features on the way to a stable 1.0 — no breaking changes.

• Navigator observers — raku(observers: …) attaches NavigatorObservers (FirebaseAnalyticsObserver, SentryNavigatorObserver, RouteObserver, …) to the root and every tab-branch navigator. It's a factory (() => [...]): one observer instance can attach to only one Navigator, so each navigator gets fresh instances — and an observer therefore sees in-tab pushes too.
• Catch-all routes (typed 404) — a trailing * in a route(...) path matches any URL a concrete route doesn't. Nest it for a subtree-scoped not-found (shown inside the tab), or put it at the top level for a global one; most-specific wins, concrete always beats wildcard, else it falls through to onUnknown. The unmatched tail arrives typed via RouteParams.rest, and the route round-trips so the 404 URL is preserved.
• Route → URL — raku(...) now returns a RakuRouter exposing hrefOf(route) / uriOf(route), the tree's reverse direction, for share links, deep links, and <a href>s.
• Browser tab titles — route(..., title: (route) => '…') sets the tab / task-switcher label of the active leaf. Opt-in; the platform is untouched when no route declares a title.
• context.replaceSilently(route) — updates the address bar in place (no new history entry), wrapping Router.neglect. For transient, shareable URL state like a search query or filter.

0.1.0

First public release — a tiny, code-generation-free, UI-agnostic router for Flutter.

Highlights:

• Type-safe routes, no codegen — routes are plain sealed classes; an exhaustive switch is your route table.
• Declarative deep linking — raku(routes: […]) maps a URL's structure to a typed navigation stack, both ways, with no hand-written parsing.
• Nested tabs built in — each branch keeps its own persistent back stack and tabs nest arbitrarily.
• Guards & redirects — RouteGuard (predictive-back aware) and loop-protected RouteRedirect.
• Built-in transitions — slideIn, none, fade, slide, riseUp, all Material/Cupertino-free.
• No dependencies beyond flutter — no state-management or design-system coupling. Supports all 6 platforms; WASM-ready. SDK floor: Dart 3.6 / Flutter 3.27.
