Support RegExp in path GoRoute #143070
Description
Use case
Navigate packages are made to make it easier to handle routing, and now GoRouter has completely ignored this principle by making it difficult and removing a variety of commonly used methods.
In the Velocity_x package, I have the possibility to insert the route as a RegExp, and now this is not possible in GoRouter, and only the
parameters are handled through the RegExp!
Expected RegExp path:
static const resetPasswordScreen = "\/(resetPasswordProfile|profile)(\/password)?";
The above RegExp should support the following four paths:
---> resetPasswordScreen = "/resetPasswordProfile"
---> resetPasswordScreen = "/resetPasswordProfile/password"
---> resetPasswordScreen = "/profile"
---> resetPasswordScreen = "/profile/password"
GoRoute(
name: 'resetPasswordScreen',
path: resetPasswordScreen,
parentNavigatorKey: rootNavigatorKey,
pageBuilder: (context, state) => _transitionPageBuilder(context, state, const ResetPasswordProfile()),
)
I want to know this feature exist or not, and if not, can you implement it?
Proposal
static const resetPasswordScreen = "\/(resetPasswordProfile|profile)(\/password)?";
GoRoute(
name: 'resetPasswordScreen',
path: resetPasswordScreen,
parentNavigatorKey: rootNavigatorKey,
pageBuilder: (context, state) => _transitionPageBuilder(context, state, const ResetPasswordProfile()),
)

Can you take a look at this and see if it helps in your case or not ?

No, as I said, only parameters can be checked by RegExp in GoRouter, and this is different from my case.
Please check

Thanks for the feedback.

I think you can workaround this by define two goRoute
GoRoute(/:id(resetPasswordProfile|profile))GoRoute(/:id(resetPasswordProfile|profile)/password)jimpatrick commentedon Jul 31, 2024
Good idea but it's not perfect!
Pathparameter in GoRouter class should supportRegEx:)YukiAttano commentedon Oct 30, 2025
I guess this issue i already fixed?
I am able to use the regex feature to use subpaths too.
Example:
/home:param(.*)works in my project (GoRouter 16.2.4) and picks everything after /home and puts it into a String field of my route, even subroutes.
(This obviously disables the ability of GoRouter to detect manually defined subroutes for that route, as everything matches the regex)
EDIT: i just setup a minimal example project and it seems that this does only work with go_router_builder
