RouteObserver<R extends Route> class

A Navigator observer that notifies RouteAwares of changes to the state of their Route.

RouteObserver informs subscribers whenever a route of type R is pushed on top of their own route of type R or popped from it. This is for example useful to keep track of page transitions, e.g. a RouteObserver<PageRoute> will inform subscribed RouteAwares whenever the user navigates away from the current page route to another page route.

To be informed about route changes of any type, consider instantiating a RouteObserver<Route>.

Type arguments

When using more aggressive lints, in particular lints such as always_specify_types, the Dart analyzer will require that certain types be given with their type arguments. Since the Route class and its subclasses have a type argument, this includes the arguments passed to this class. Consider using dynamic to specify the entire class of routes rather than only specific subtypes. For example, to watch for all ModalRoute variants, the RouteObserver<ModalRoute<dynamic>> type may be used.

This example demonstrates how to implement a RouteObserver that notifies RouteAware widget of changes to the state of their Route.
