Rooute

Author: Ibrahim Khatrii GitHub: https://github.com/IbrahimKhatrii/rooute

A lightweight, enum-centric routing framework for Flutter that enables strongly-typed navigation without messy switch-cases or string-based route names. Rooute is designed for developers who want clean, maintainable, and platform-adaptive routing.

---

Features

• Strongly-typed routes using enums – no more fragile string-based navigation.
• Declarative mapping of enum → RouteBuilder – define how each route should transition.
• Platform-adaptive navigation – automatically chooses Material or Cupertino transitions.
• Custom transitions supported – use PageRouteBuilder for slides, fades, or complex animations.
• Convenient navigation helpers – push, pushReplacement, pushAndRemoveUntil, pushForResult, etc.
• Argument passing – type-safe route arguments with easy retrieval via RoutableApp.arguments<T>.

---

Installation

Add rooute to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  rooute: ^0.0.5

Then run:

flutter pub get

Quick Start

1. Define your routes

Create an enum that mixes in Rooute<T>:

enum MyRoutes with Rooute<MyRoutes> {
  launcher,
  home,
  customPage;

  @override
  Map<MyRoutes, RoouteBuilder> get routes => {
        launcher: RoouteBuilder.material(() => LauncherScreen()),
        home: RoouteBuilder.cupertino(() => Home()),
        customPage: RoouteBuilder.custom(
          (settings) => PageRouteBuilder(
            settings: settings,
            pageBuilder: (context, animation, secondaryAnimation) =>
                CustomScreen(),
            transitionsBuilder: (context, animation, secondaryAnimation, child) =>
                FadeTransition(opacity: animation, child: child),
          ),
        ),
      };

  @override
  List<MyRoutes> get valuesOf => values;
}

---

2. Wrap your app with RoutableApp

void main() {
  runApp(
    RoutableApp(
      launcher: MyRoutes.launcher,
      builder: (initialRoute, onGenerateRoute) => MaterialApp(
        initialRoute: initialRoute,
        onGenerateRoute: onGenerateRoute,
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      ),
    ),
  );
}

---

3. Navigate between routes

// Push a route
MyRoutes.home.push(context, arguments: 'Hello Home');

// Push a route and get result
final result = await MyRoutes.customPage.pushForResult<String>(context);

// Push replacement
MyRoutes.home.pushReplacement(context);

// Push and remove until predicate
MyRoutes.launcher.pushAndRemoveUntil(context, (route) => route.isFirst);

---

4. Retrieve route arguments

final arg = RoutableApp.arguments<String>(context);
print(arg ?? 'No args');

---

Route Types

RoouteBuilder supports multiple route types:

Type	Description
material	Standard MaterialPageRoute transitions.
cupertino	Standard CupertinoPageRoute transitions.
adaptive	Automatically uses Material or Cupertino based on platform.
custom	Fully custom PageRoute (use PageRouteBuilder for complex animations).

---

Advantages Over Traditional Routing

• No more long switch-case or if-else chains.
• All routes are strongly-typed.
• Easier to refactor route names without breaking code.
• Fully supports argument passing with type safety.
• Platform-adaptive transitions out-of-the-box.
• Centralized route definition and navigation helpers.

---

Example Flow

1. RoutableApp sets MyRoutes.launcher as initial route.
2. LauncherScreen waits 1 second and pushes MyRoutes.home.
3. Home retrieves any arguments passed from the previous route.
4. Routes resolve automatically using enum-based mapping.
5. You can also create custom transitions with PageRouteBuilder.
