Flutter Hero Animation

Features

  • Hero-like animations.
  • Allow you to specify a different animation for each Sidekick.
  • Widget to manage animations between children of two multi-child widgets.

Getting started

In the pubspec.yaml of your flutter project, add the following dependency:
The latest version is Pub

dependencies:
  ...
  flutter_sidekick: ^latest_version

In your library add the following import:

import 'package:flutter_sidekick/flutter_sidekick.dart';

For help getting started with Flutter, view the online documentation.

Widgets

Sidekick

The Sidekick widget is heavily inspired by the Hero widget API.
To link two sidekicks, the targetTag property of the one denoted as the source must be identical to the tag property of the other one, denoted the target.
Then to animate sidekicks, you can use the SidekickController and one of the move function.

The animation below can be created with the following code:

Flutter Hero Animation

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

class SimpleExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _SimpleExampleState createState() => _SimpleExampleState();
}

class _SimpleExampleState extends State<SimpleExample>
    with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  SidekickController controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        SidekickController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(seconds: 1));
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller?.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Stack(
      children: <Widget>[
        Positioned(
          top: 20.0,
          left: 20.0,
          width: 100.0,
          height: 100.0,
          child: GestureDetector(
            onTap: () => controller.moveToTarget(context),
            child: Sidekick(
              tag: 'source',
              targetTag: 'target',
              child: Container(
                color: Colors.blue,
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
        Positioned(
          bottom: 20.0,
          right: 20.0,
          width: 150.0,
          height: 100.0,
          child: GestureDetector(
            onTap: () => controller.moveToSource(context),
            child: Sidekick(
              tag: 'target',
              child: Container(
                color: Colors.blue,
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

SidekickTeamBuilder

The SidekickTeamBuilder widget can be used to create complex layouts, where widgets from one container can be moved to another one, and you want the transition to be animated:

Flutter Hero Animation

import 'package:example/widgets/utils.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_sidekick/flutter_sidekick.dart';

class Item {
  Item({
    this.id,
  });
  final int id;
}

class WrapExample extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SidekickTeamBuilder<Item>(
      initialSourceList: List.generate(20, (i) => Item(id: i)),
      builder: (context, sourceBuilderDelegates, targetBuilderDelegates) {
        return Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          child: Column(
            crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
            children: <Widget>[
              SizedBox(
                height: 120.0,
                child: Wrap(
                  children: sourceBuilderDelegates
                      .map((builderDelegate) => builderDelegate.build(
                            context,
                            WrapItem(builderDelegate.message, true),
                            animationBuilder: (animation) => CurvedAnimation(
                                  parent: animation,
                                  curve: Curves.ease,
                                ),
                          ))
                      .toList(),
                ),
              ),

                    CircleButton(

                      onPressed: () => SidekickTeamBuilder.of<Item>(context)
                          .moveAll(SidekickFlightDirection.toTarget),
                    ),
                    SizedBox(width: 60.0, height: 60.0),
