Flutter Pop to Root

When working with Flutter, the term “pop to root” refers to navigating back to the first screen or root of the navigation stack. In other words, it means removing all the screens on top of the root screen and displaying it.

There are different scenarios where you might want to implement “pop to root” functionality. Let’s consider an example where you have a navigation stack with multiple screens (A, B, C, D), and you want to go back to screen A from screen D:


  Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route) => route.isFirst);

In the above code snippet, the popUntil() method is used to pop routes until a certain condition is met. In this case, we are using the isFirst property of the route to determine if it is the first screen or root screen of the navigation stack.

Another approach to achieve the same result is by navigating directly to the root screen:


  Navigator.of(context).pushAndRemoveUntil(
    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => RootScreen()),
    (Route route) => false,
  );

In the above code snippet, we use the pushAndRemoveUntil() method to push the root screen and remove all other screens from the stack.

Remember to replace RootScreen() with the actual widget/screen you want to navigate to as the root screen.

These examples demonstrate how you can achieve “pop to root” functionality in Flutter. It’s important to choose the approach that best fits your specific use case.
