GoRouter Delegate Listener for Screen Tracking

Did you know?

If your app uses GoRouter with shell routes, tracking screen views reliably requires some workarounds.

Here’s how I do it (using Riverpod):

1. Declare GoRouter inside a Riverpod provider
2. Create a stateful GoRouter listener to track screen views
3. Return it inside MaterialApp.builder

Here’s a PR showing how I implemented this in my Time Tracker app:

• Add GoRouterDelegateListener class to track screen views

And here’s the original GoRouter issue showing that NavigatorObserver doesn’t work with shell routes:

• ShellRoutes seem to cause NavigatorObserver to not fire (5.0.1)

Happy coding!
