simple_navigation

Simple named route navigation that unofficially addresses Flutter issue 11655 ("build needlessly called for non-current screens lower on stack").

THIS PACKAGE ISN'T FOR EVERYONE. I prefer the navigation approach implemented herein but it's non-standard.

Simplifications

• for simplicity of development, navigation is static
• don't need to pass context
• class named 'Nav' instead of 'Navigation' because it's shorter

Limitations

• since static, can't have multiple instances
• currently doesn't work with showDialog() return values

Features

• backButtonCaption with callback function

TODO

• use generics for arguments: either Object (standard) or Map (my preference)
• force redraw entire tree (not sure if possible)
• pop all the way out of application (configure yes/no)
• test: hot reload doesn't erase stack
• solve: object vs. named route problem
• pass in trace flag to constructor
• return values? (friends showDialog... pop(return))
