Honestly, it’s almost impressive how they managed to turn it into a Schrödinger’s package—both broken and not broken at the same time! Truly a masterclass in chaos. Bravo!

I was searching for this solution my whole life !

Great tutorial! Sorry, but I can't resist smiling every time you say Navigation Destination. It sounds like the antartar-tart-ica guy. 😂

Amazing tutorial as at time it's needed

There is usually a scenario where on click of an item in the list page, you need to do to the detail page. That detail page is shown without the bottom navigation bar. For example: On click of a user in linkedin. How to implement that.

Please note: We can share that link and on press of that, the url/route directly opens. I am not asking you to implement app links here, but the architecture can be done with that in mind.

A good solution of this will really help your followers

Thank you amazing tutorial. I use Getx in my application when I use nested page and hot releoad forget last position. I will try go router 😅

Thank you for the explanation!

I have a question regarding state management with nested pages:

Let's say I navigate deep into a series of pages within a tab on the BottomNavigationBar. When I switch to another tab and then return to the original tab where I navigated deeply, will I see the last page I reached within that tab, or will it reset to the initial page of that tab?

So I created a similar solution here but my problem is that my application has a scan page, and a help page. I set both of those at the bottom toolbar. There are several pages that load after scanning something. Lets say I scan something that contains plastic well it scans it just fine but when I click on the scanning icon It stays in the plastic page and doesn't reload scan page. The plastic page is nested at the bottom of the scan page. Any thoughts?

How do we embed a conditional homepage here - if a user is logged in it’s a different screen

[tmyker]

Can you have a solution, when you stay in a subpage, re-press the button nav, to go back to the first page (parent page)?

Hi, nice tutorial but I have a case
if I want a more button to nav home page, it not work
static const String homePage = '/home';
static const String explorePage = '/explore';
static const String settingsPage = '/settings';
static const String profilePage = 'profile';
static const String nestedProfilePage = '/settings/profile';
static const String nestedHomePage = '/settings/home';
StatefulShellBranch(
routes: [
GoRoute(
path: Routes.settingsPage,
builder: (context, state) => const SettingsPage(),
routes: [
GoRoute(
path: Routes.profilePage,
builder: (context, state) => ProfilePage(
user: state.extra as User,
)),
GoRoute(
path: Routes.homePage,
builder: (context, state) => HomePage(),
),
],
),
],
),
I throw a exception,
' package : go_router/ src/
