Always getting null when I try to find current page. How do I get current page?

print('current page ${ModalRoute.of(context).settings.name}');

my end goal is,

if(ModalRoute.of(context).settings.name == 'homePage'){
showAlert()
}

my MaterialApp

 MaterialApp(
        onGenerateRoute: CustomRouter.generateRoute,
...

class CustomRouter {
  static Route<dynamic> generateRoute(RouteSettings settings) {
    final Arguments arguments = settings.arguments;

    switch (settings.name) {
      case Splash.route:
        return MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => Splash());
dart flutter

Ok, as an answer for the next visitors to this page, passing the RouteSettings parameter is required as mentioned here.


Route<dynamic> generateRoute(RouteSettings settings) {
    return MaterialPageRoute(
      settings: settings,
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        //some custom code

        return _data[settings.name](context);
      }
    );
  }

MaterialPageRoute( settings: settings, // Important!!! ... )

Also it can related about wrong BuildContext, you must be ensure the given buildcontext must be same as your page buildcontext if it is not, you will get null or wrong route.

ModalRoute.of(currentPageContext)?.settings.name;
