Route and Navigator Refactoring
Summary
#The Route
class no longer manages its overlay entries in overlay,
and its install()
method no longer has an insertionPoint
parameter.
The isInitialRoute
property in RouteSetting
has been deprecated,
and Navigator.pop()
no longer returns a value.
Context
#We refactored the navigator APIs to prepare for the new page API
and the introduction of the Router
widget as outlined in
the Router design document.
This refactoring introduced some function signature changes
in order to make the existing navigator APIs continue to work
with the new page API.
Description of change
#The boolean return value of Navigator.pop()
was not well
defined, and the user could achieve the same result by calling
Navigator.canPop()
.
Since the API for Navigator.canPop()
was better defined,
we simplified Navigator.pop()
to not return a boolean value.
On the other hand, the navigator requires the ability
to manually rearrange entries in the overlay to allow
the user to change the route history in the new API.
We changed it so that the route only creates and destroys
its overlay entries, while the navigator inserts or
removes overlay entries from the overlay.
We also removed the insertionPoint
argument of
Route.install()
because it was obsolete after the change.
Finally, we removed the isInitialRoute
property from
RouteSetting
as part of refactoring, and provided the
onGenerateInitialRoutes
API for full control of
initial routes generation.
Migration guide
#Case 1: An app depends on pop()
returning a boolean value.
TextField(
onTap: () {
if (Navigator.pop(context))
print('There still is at least one route after pop');
else
print('Oops! No more routes.');
}
)
You could use Navigator.canPop()
in combination with
Navigator.pop()
to achieve the same result.
TextField(
onTap: () {
if (Navigator.canPop(context))
print('There still is at least one route after pop');
else
print('Oops! No more routes.');
// Our navigator pops the route anyway.
Navigator.pop(context);
}
)
Case 2: An app generates routes based on isInitialRoute
.
MaterialApp(
onGenerateRoute: (RouteSetting setting) {
if (setting.isInitialRoute)
return FakeSplashRoute();
else
return RealRoute(setting);
}
)
There are different ways to migrate this change.
One way is to set an explicit value for MaterialApp.initialRoute
.
You can then test for this value in place of isInitialRoute
.
As initialRoute
inherits its default value outside of Flutter's scope,
you must set an explicit value for it.
MaterialApp(
initialRoute: '/', // Set this value explicitly. Default might be altered.
onGenerateRoute: (RouteSetting setting) {
if (setting.name == '/')
return FakeSplashRoute();
else
return RealRoute(setting);
}
)
If there is a more complicated use case,
you can use the new API, onGenerateInitialRoutes
,
in MaterialApp
or CupertinoApp
.
MaterialApp(
onGenerateRoute: (RouteSetting setting) {
return RealRoute(setting);
},
onGenerateInitialRoutes: (String initialRouteName) {
return <Route>[FakeSplashRoute()];
}
)
