To implement a navigation system in Flutter, the following components are usually created:
- Navigator — an embedded widget that manages the stack of routes (screens).
- Route — a class describing a single screen or page.
- MaterialPageRoute or CupertinoPageRoute — standard implementations of routes with transition animations.
- RouteSettings — for passing parameters between screens.
- Navigator.push() / Navigator.pop() — methods for navigating forward and backward.
For more complex navigation, often the following are created:
- A class or file with route names (e.g.,
AppRoutes), where constants with screen names are stored. - A navigation manager (NavigationService) for centralized navigation management outside widget context.
Example of a simple transition:
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondScreen()),
);
For larger applications, packages like go_router or auto_route are often used, which simplify and structure navigation.
