wizard_router 0.1.0

A wizard router based on FlowBuilder.

Wizard Router for Flutter

wizard_router provides routing for classic linear wizards in a way that it eliminates dependencies between wizard pages. Wizard pages can request the next or previous page without knowing or caring what is the next or the previous wizard page. Thus, adding, removing, or re-ordering pages does not cause changes in existing pages.

Usage

Routes

MaterialApp(
  home: Scaffold(
    body: Wizard(
      routes: {
        '/foo': (context) => FooPage(),
        '/bar': (context) => BarPage(),
        '/baz': (context) => BazPage(),
      },
    ),
  ),
)

Navigation

The next or the previous page is requested by calling Wizard.of(context).next() or Wizard.of(context).back(), respectively.

BarPage(
  child: ButtonBar(
    children: [
      ElevatedButton(
        onPressed: Wizard.of(context).back
        child: const Text('Back'),
      ),
      ElevatedButton(
        onPressed: Wizard.of(context).next
        child: const Text('Next'),
      ),
    ],
  ),
)

Conditions

For unconditional linear wizards, defining the routes is enough. The router follows the order the routes are defined in. If there are conditions between the wizard pages, the order can be customized with the Wizard.onNext and Wizard.onBack callbacks.

Wizard(
  routes: {
    '/foo': (context) => FooPage(),
    '/bar': (context) => BarPage(),
    '/baz': (context) => BazPage(),
    '/qux': (context) => QuxPage(),
  },
  onNext: (settings) {
    // conditionally skip the _Bar_ page when stepping forward from the _Foo_ page
    if (settings.name == '/foo' && skipBar) return '/baz';
    return null;
  }
  onBack: (settings) {
    // always skip the Baz page when stepping back from the Qux page
    if (settings.name == '/qux') return '/bar';
    return null;
  }
)

Arguments

It is recommended to avoid such dependencies between wizard pages that make assumptions of the page order. However, sometimes it may be desirable to pass arguments to the next page. This is possible by passing them to Wizard.of(context).next(arguments). On the next page, the arguments can be queried from Wizard.of(context).arguments.

FooPage(
  onFoo: () => Wizard.of(context).next(arguments: something),
)

BarPageState extends State<BarPage>(
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    final something = Wizard.of(context).arguments as Something;
    // ...
  }
)
