Core Concepts

Use the go_router package for declarative routing in Flutter. It provides a robust API for complex routing scenarios, deep linking, and nested navigation.

GoRouter: The central configuration object defining the application's route tree.

GoRoute: A standard route mapping a URL path to a Flutter screen.

ShellRoute / StatefulShellRoute: Wraps child routes in a persistent UI shell (e.g., a BottomNavigationBar). StatefulShellRoute maintains the state of parallel navigation branches.

Path URL Strategy: Removes the default # fragment from web URLs, essential for clean deep linking across platforms.
