Overview of this book

Google Flutter is a cross-platform mobile framework that makes it easy to write high-performance apps for Android and iOS. This book will help you get to grips with the basics of the Flutter framework and the Dart programming language. Starting from setting up your development environment, you’ll learn to design the UI and add user input functions. You'll explore the navigator widget to manage app routes and learn to add transitions between screens. The book will even guide you through developing your own plugin and later, you’ll discover how to structure good plugin code. Using the Google Places API, you'll also understand how to display a map in the app and add markers and interactions to it. You’ll then learn to improve the user experience with features such as map integrations, platform-specific code with native languages, and personalized animation options for designing intuitive UIs. The book follows a practical approach and gives you access to all relevant code files hosted at github.com/PacktPublishing/Flutter-for-Beginners. This will help you access a variety of examples and prepare your own bug-free apps, ready to deploy on the App Store and Google Play Store. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with Dart programming and have the skills to develop your own mobile apps or build a career as a Dart and Flutter app developer.

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.

We have also seen another important piece of navigation, Route, and how to define it for use in our applications. We checked out different approaches to implement the navigation, with the most typical way being with the WidgetsApp widget.

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.

In the next chapter, we will be taking our favors application to a higher level by integrating it with Firebase services.
