flutter_reorderable_grid_view 2.0.2-dev.1

Reordering all children for GridViews.

Package for having animated Drag and Drop functionality for every type of GridView and to have animations when changing the size of children inside your GridView.

Features

Use this package in your Flutter App to:

• get the functionality for an animated drag and drop in all type of GridView
• have animations when updating, adding or removing children

Getting started

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_reorderable_grid_view/entities/order_update_entity.dart';
import 'package:flutter_reorderable_grid_view/widgets/widgets.dart';

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final fruits = <String>["apple", "banana", "strawberry"];

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final generatedChildren = List.generate(
      fruits.length,
      (index) => Container(
        key: Key(fruits.elementAt(index)),
        color: Colors.lightBlue,
        child: Text(
          fruits.elementAt(index),
        ),
      ),
    );

    return Scaffold(
      body: ReorderableBuilder(
        children: generatedChildren,
        onReorder: (List<OrderUpdateEntity> orderUpdateEntities) {
          for (final orderUpdateEntity in orderUpdateEntities) {
            final fruit = fruits.removeAt(orderUpdateEntity.oldIndex);
            fruits.insert(orderUpdateEntity.newIndex, fruit);
          }
        },
        builder: (children, scrollController) {
          return GridView(
            controller: scrollController,
            children: children,
            gridDelegate: const SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
              crossAxisCount: 4,
              mainAxisSpacing: 4,
              crossAxisSpacing: 8,
            ),
          );
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

Usage

ReorderableBuilder has two main functionalities: Drag and Drop and Animations.

For using this widget, you have to wrap ReorderableBuilder to your GridView (see more on Getting Started).

Every child has to have a unique key.

Also be sure to make where you have the scrolling behavior. If your GridView has the functionality to scroll, you should add the ScrollController from ReorderableBuilder to your GridView.

###Drag and Drop The functionality for drag and drop is enabled by default. You have to use onReorder to prevent a weird behavior after releasing the dragged child.

###Animations There are different animations:

• when drag and drop, all position changes are animated
• when adding, removing or updating a child (e.g. you swap two positions), there is also an animation for that behavior

Supported Widgets

• GridViews
  • GridView
  • GridView.count
  • GridView.extent
  • GridView.builder

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default Value
children	Displays all given children that are build inside a Wrap or GridView. Don't forget a unique key for every child.	-
lockedIndices	Define all children that can't be moved while dragging. You need to add the index of this child in a list.
enableLongPress	Decides if the user needs a long press to move the item around.	true
longPressDelay	Specify the delay to move an item when enabling long press.	500 ms
enableDraggable	Enables the drag and drop functionality.	true
dragChildBoxDecoration	When a child is dragged, you can override the default BoxDecoration, e. g. if your children have another shape.	-
onReorder	Called after drag and drop was released. Contains a list of OrderUpdateEntity that has information about the old and new index. See more on the example main.dart	-
builder	Important function that returns your children as modified children to enable animations and the drag and drop. See more on the example main.dart.	-

Future Plans

With the Update 2.0.0, I totally changed the logic for having a drag and drop functionality. So it is possible, that there are still some problems, so let me know it if you find them.

If you have feature requests or found some issues, feel free and open your issues in the GitHub project.

Thank you for using this package.
