Pass an object through navigator.pushnamed using provider

Here is an example of how you can pass an object through a route using the Navigator.pushNamed() method and Provider in Flutter:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';

class MyObject {
  final int id;
  final String name;

  MyObject(this.id, this.name);
}

class MyObjectProvider extends ChangeNotifier {
  MyObject _object;

  MyObject get object => _object;

  set object(MyObject value) {
    _object = value;
    notifyListeners();
  }
}

void main() {
  runApp(
    ChangeNotifierProvider(
      create: (context) => MyObjectProvider(),
      child: MyApp(),
    ),
  );
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      routes: {
        '/detail': (context) => DetailPage(),
      },
      home: HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
          onPressed: () {
            final object = MyObject(1, 'Object');
            Provider.of<MyObjectProvider>(context, listen: false).object = object;
            Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/detail');
          },
          child: Text('Go to detail page'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class DetailPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final object = Provider.of<MyObjectProvider>(context).object;
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text('Object ID: ${object.id}'),
      ),
    );
  }
}

In this example, the MyObject class represents an object that you want to pass through a route. The MyObjectProvider class is a ChangeNotifier that holds the MyObject object and exposes it to other widgets through a getter method.

The HomePage widget has a button that, when clicked, sets the MyObject object in the MyObjectProvider using the object setter method
