Overview

This course is your ultimate guide to Flutter navigation using go_router, the officially recommended router for Flutter. You'll start with the fundamentals, quickly progress to complex nested routes, redirection, authentication flows, deep linking, and tabbed navigation. We’ll dive deep into enterprise-level use cases, integrating with Bloc, Riverpod, and Firebase for secure and scalable navigation logic. Learn to build navigation stacks that scale to billions of users, optimize route transitions, handle edge cases gracefully, and implement best-in-class routing structures for real-world applications. By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand go_router — you’ll dominate it.
