Understanding the principles of moving along routes in Flutter

I have routes:

'/home'
'/home/nav_one'
'/home/nav_one/nav_two'
'/home/contacts'
'/home/contacts/description'

and the transitions were made:

'/home' -> '/home/nav_one' -> '/home/nav_one/nav_two' -> '/home/contacts/description'

Where will the command return: Navigator.pop(): To '/home/nav_one/nav_two' or '/home/contacts'?

If in the first option, then why do we write these same routes, for the sake of ease of reading and understanding?

Solution

  • Assuming that these are the route names and that you've been Navigator.pushNamed()ing the screens the answer is,

    To '/home/nav_one/nav_two'

    These route names are just identifiers so you can name them like,

    '/home'
'/nav_one'
'/nav_two'
'/contacts'
'/description'

    for your own convenience.
