How to navigate back to a specific screen in Flutter using named routes?


I'm building a Flutter app with multiple screens, and I'm using named routes for navigation. I want to navigate back to a specific screen in the route stack, not just the previous screen.

For example, I have a home screen (/home), a cart screen (/cart), and a orders screen (/orders). From the orders screen, I want to navigate back directly to the home screen, skipping the cart screen. How can I achieve this using named routes in Flutter?


Solution

  • To navigate back to a specific screen using named routes in Flutter, you can use the Navigator's "popUntil" method. This method allows you to pop the route stack until a specific condition is met. In your case, you can use it to pop all routes until you reach the home screen.

    Navigator.popUntil(context, ModalRoute.withName('/home'));
