flutter_fader #

A widget for Flutter that allows you to fade in and out a child widget.
When a widget is faded out it is no longer in the view tree. Meaning that it can't be used or interacted with. Handy for hiding buttons.

[Example of fader with buttons] [Example of fader with scroll]

Getting started #

In your Flutter project, add the package to your dependencies

dependencies:
  ...
  flutter_fader: ^1.0.0

Usage example #

Examples of how to use the widget, and that can also be ran on your device, can be found in the example directory

Import the fader package

import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

Create a fader controller, this allows you to control when the Fader fades in or out

FaderController faderController = new FaderController();

Create a fader widget, and pass it the fader controller

Fader(
  controller: faderController,
  duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 50),
  child: Text("Hello, world!"),
)

Now you can fade the child widget in and out at will

faderController.fadeOut();
faderController.fadeIn();
