Comparing Navigation 1.0 and 2.0
Understanding the differences between Navigation 2.0 and the imperative approach (Navigation 1.0) is important for selecting the right navigation strategy for your Flutter application:
- Centralized navigation state: Navigator 2.0 helps us manage our app’s navigation state in a single place, making it easier to handle complex scenarios.
- Conditional navigation: Easily manage navigation based on state or user permissions using this. For example, redirecting an unauthenticated user to a login screen is simple with conditional navigation.
- Deep linking: Navigator 2.0 simplifies handling deep links by allowing the app to update its navigation state in response to incoming URLs. We will learn about deep linking shortly.
The imperative approach is action-driven. For simpler applications with straightforward navigation flows, the imperative approach can be more than sufficient and easier to implement.
