🧩 Integration Polish & Stability #

This release improves go_router compatibility and removes dynamic-call pitfalls seen under Dart Dev Compiler (web/Chrome).

✅ Fixed

• Dynamic call failures in go_router pageBuilder when chaining methods like .withCustomCurve(...) and .followMaterial3(context)
• Navigator 3 page-based assertion by ensuring Page.createRoute passes the Page instance as RouteSettings

✨ Added

• Strongly-typed builder helpers on RouteShifterBuilder:
  • withCustomCurve(Curve curve)
  • withCurveBuilder(Curve Function(CustomCurveBuilder) builder)
  • followMaterial3(BuildContext context), followCupertino(...), followPlatformTheme(...) (no-op typed helpers)
• Internal typed toPage({ required child, ... }) method on RouteShifterBuilder returning a Page that wires settings: this

🔧 Changes

• Kept extension-based integration in lib/src/integrations/go_router_support.dart while adding typed instance methods to avoid dynamic resolution issues in DDC/go_router closures
• Example go_router_demo.dart updated to use typed .toPage(...) and .withCustomCurve(...) calls

🧪 QA

• flutter analyze clean
• Demo runs on Chrome without dynamic-call NoSuchMethodErrors

📦 Migration

No code changes required. If you previously saw runtime NoSuchMethodErrors in go_router pageBuilder, prefer the typed chain:

RouteShifterBuilder()
  .fade(duration: 300.ms)
  .withCustomCurve(Curves.easeInOutBack)
  .toPage(child: const SettingsPage());

The extension-based .toPage() continues to work; the new instance method is recommended in go_router contexts.

🐛 Bug Fix Release #

✅ Fixed

• go_router Integration Bug: Fixed critical issue where toPage() method was not available from main package import
• Export Chain Issue: Resolved missing export of go_router integration methods in main package file
• Import Confusion: Eliminated need for separate imports when using with go_router

🔧 Technical Changes

• Main Export Updated: Added explicit export of src/integrations/go_router_support.dart in main package
• Extension Methods Available: toPage() and toCustomPage() now accessible without separate imports
• Classes Available: RouteShifterPage and CustomRouteShifterPage now directly importable

📝 Before (Broken)

import 'package:flutter_route_shifter/flutter_route_shifter.dart';

// ❌ This would fail with "NoSuchMethodError: toPage"
RouteShifterBuilder().fade().toPage(child: ProfilePage());

✅ After (Fixed)

import 'package:flutter_route_shifter/flutter_route_shifter.dart';

// ✅ This now works perfectly!
RouteShifterBuilder().fade().toPage(child: ProfilePage());

🎯 Impact

• Developer Experience: No more confusing "method not found" errors
• Code Clarity: Single import statement for all functionality
• Backward Compatibility: Existing code continues to work
• Go Router Integration: Seamless integration without workarounds
