AutoRoute v6: Have an initial route other than '/'

[theemaster]

In version 5 of AutoRoute I had several nested routes. e.g.:

routes: <AutoRoute>[
    AutoRoute(
      page: OnboardingView,
      path: '/onboarding',
    ),
    AutoRoute(
      page: LoginView,
      path: '/login',
      initial: true,
    ),
    AutoRoute(
      path: '/signup',
      page: SignUpView,
    ),
    AutoRoute(
      path: '/forgotpassword',
      page: ForgotPasswordView,
    ),
    AutoRoute(
      path: '/main',
      page: MainNavigationView,
      children: [
        AutoRoute(
          path: 'manage',
          page: ManageWrapper,
          name: 'ManageRouter',
          children: [
            AutoRoute(
              path: 'rootContainers',
              page: RootContainersView,
              initial: true,
            ),
            AutoRoute(
              path: 'containerDetails/:parentContainerUuid',
              page: ContainerDetailsView,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ],
    ),
  ],

So in the example, the routes of v5 the login was the initial route but had a path of /login (makes especially sense in Flutter web). In the current version of v6 it is not possible to mark a route as initial: true instead, I should use '/'. The problem is, that the path of /login is no more actionable.

I used the Android Studio Plugin from AutoRoute, which helped a lot in the migration process, but it didn't work for the use case I was having. The plugin simply replaced initial: true with '/'.

Am I missing something or is it no more possible in v6?

So the solution was in v6 you have to use RedirectRoute:

  @override
  final List<AutoRoute> routes = [
    RedirectRoute(path: '/', redirectTo: '/login'), //Note that '/' needs to be used
    AutoRoute(page: LoginViewRoute.page, path: '/login'),
    AutoRoute(page: OnboardingViewRoute.page, path: '/onboarding'),
    AutoRoute(path: '/signup', page: SignUpViewRoute.page),
    AutoRoute(path: '/forgotpassword', page: ForgotPasswordViewRoute.page),
    AutoRoute(path: '/main',
        page: MainNavigationViewRoute.page,
        children: [
          AutoRoute(path: 'manage',
              page: ManageWrapperRoute.page,
              children: [
                RedirectRoute(path: '', redirectTo: 'rootContainers'),  //Note that '' is being used
                AutoRoute(path: 'rootContainers',
                    page: RootContainersViewRoute.page,
                    ),
                AutoRoute(path: 'containerDetails/:parentContainerUuid',
                    page: ContainerDetailsViewRoute.page),
              ]),
  ];
