Can Navigator.push be used in ternary with Flutter

Question

I have a page with an app bar that has four tabs. On one of the tabs I am trying to use a condition in the build method to display a custom scroll view with specific content if the condition is true. And if the condition is false I want the user to be navigated to a brand new page that just has a list view and its own app bar that does not contain any tabs. Navigator.push being used as the second condition in the ternary throws an error. My goal in the code below is something like if file == null display content in Safe Area widget else navigate to a UploadItemsFormPage. I have been unable to figure out how to solve this challenge. I tried to remove a lot of the code to make it less to read but if necessary to help I can provide more of the code. The code will be refactored into different widgets but I thought that would make asking this question more complicated so it is all in one class for now. Thanks in advance for any help.

Solution

you can use ternary operator in any case. suppose in your above case (any true codition for example file ==null )?(Do some work if file is null ):Navigator.push( context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Uploadimages()), ); (do alter work if the ternary codition is not true)
