What’s NavigatorState?

The NavigatorState class is a key component in Flutter’s navigation system, managing the navigation stack and providing methods to manipulate it. Important methods include push, pop, and pushNamed, which allow developers to navigate between different screens in an app.

Check the official documentation for more.

For Android developers, the NavigatorState class can be compared to the FragmentManager in Android. Just as FragmentManager handles the transaction of fragments, NavigatorState manages the stack of routes in a Flutter application. Instead of using intents to switch between activities, Flutter uses a more declarative approach with routes, making it easier to manage navigation in a single-page application style.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use NavigatorState:

Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => NewScreen()));

Understanding the NavigatorState class is essential for Flutter developers, as it simplifies navigation management and enhances user experience by providing a smooth transition between screens.
