Flutter Route Guard

A platform-agnostic Flutter package for guarding routes based on asynchronous state.

flutter_route_guard makes it easy to protect routes in your Flutter application, handling loading, error, and data states gracefully. It is designed to work with any router.

Features

• Async State Handling: Built-in support for loading, error, and data states via GuardAsyncValue.
• Platform Agnostic: Works with any state management solution.
• Flexible Redirection: Automatically redirects unauthorized users to a fallback path.
• Router Independent: purely widget-based, integrating seamlessly with your existing navigation setup.

Usage

1. Define your Guard State

Wrap your state in GuardAsyncValue.

// Example using a simple ValueNotifier or similar
 GuardAsyncValue<bool> authState = const GuardAsyncData(true); // User is authenticated

2. Wrap your Route

Use the RouteGuard widget to protect a page.

RouteGuard(
  state: authState, // Your async state
  destinationPath: '/dashboard', // Where we are trying to go
  currentPath: currentPath, // The current location (from your router)
  fallbackPath: '/login', // Where to go if denied
  onRedirect: (context, path) {
    // Navigate using your router, e.g., Navigator.pushNamed(context, path);
    // or specific router method
  },
  loadingWidget: const CircularProgressIndicator(), // Optional
  child: DashboardScreen(),
)
