How to customize route name? about auto_route_library

[kuhnroyal]

I also think there should be an optional way to name routes via the annotations.

@MaterialRoute(name = `/foo/bar`)
MyFancyRoute foo;

@kuhnroyal @rebaz94 until now I didn't consider flutter web as I haven't had the chance to temper with it yet. So thanks for bringing that to my attention.

so the idea I have in mind right now is to first make auto-generated route names URL-friendly (kabab cased) by default and also add an optional route name in all route annotations as @kuhnroyal suggested.
@MaterialRoute(name: 'my-route-name')

Thank you both for taking the time to help make auto_route better.

Hey @rebaz94. I'm not sure I understand your question.
You can actually name your route anything you want.
HomeScreen myWhateverHomeScreenRouteName;

Hey @kuhnroyal, can you explain where is that useful?
I'm generally aiming for less boilerplate code.
I'm planning to add a global optional prefix/suffix, would that satisfy what you have in mind?

@AutoRouter(namePrefix: 'myPrefix', nameSuffix: 'mySuffix')
class $MyRouter{}

I am think about flutter web and readable URL like route names.

[rebaz94]

@Milad-Akarie Yes I know this way, but there should be an option to set custom name.
For example if I want to set route name to be /edit-screen thats not possible now because we can't do EditScreen edit-screen, and as @kuhnroyal suggested for readability name of web routes

@rebaz94 @kuhnroyal
added in v0.2.2
Auto-generated route names are now url-friendly
homePage => '/home-page'

you can also pass custom names for all route types as follows
@MaterialRoute(name: 'your-custom-path-name')
Thanks for your time.
