Expand Widget

This Dart package offers developers a streamlined library of Flutter widgets, useful for expanding widgets and text views, when users interact with them.

When the users clicks the 'expand' arrow, the hidden widgets or content unfold with a cool animation. You can swipe down, or click directly on them, setting expandOnGesture to true.

There are three main 'expand' widgets:

• Expand Child: Useful to show more widgets related to the content already visible by the user.
• Expand Text: Useful when texts can be quite big for a certain screen. It adds the ability to show the full content when the user wants to.
• Show Child: In contrast to the 'Expand Child' widget, it doesn't have the ability to hide again the content.

Example

Here is an example of a simple use of this package, featuring the ExpandChild, ExpandText & ShowChild widgets.

If you want to take a deeper look at the example, take a look at the example folder provided with the project.

• ExpandChild widget

  child: Column(
    children: <Widget>[
      OutlineButton(
        child: Text('Button1'),
        onPressed: () => print('Pressed button1'),
      ),
      OutlineButton(
        child: Text('Button2'),
        onPressed: () => print('Pressed button2'),
      ),
      OutlineButton(
        child: Text('Button3'),
        onPressed: () => print('Pressed button3'),
      ),
    ],
