Summary

In this chapter, we have seen how to add navigation between our screens. First, we got to know the Navigator widget, the main player when it comes to navigation in Flutter. We have seen how it composes the navigation stack or history by using the Overlay class.

Finally, we have seen how to customize transitions between screens to change the default platform-specific moves from Material and iOS Cuperitno apps, and also how to use Hero animations to share elements between transitions to create cool effects.
