A few common widgets and utilities for my apps. Most widgets are meant to be used in particular ways with other Widgets.

Standalone

• Driver
  • "Easy" to use Google Drive interface.
• DriveQueryBuilder
• UpdatingSwitchTile
  • A SwitchListTile that automatically updates it's value when clicked.
• TopInherit
  • An InheritedWidget for TopResources.
• TopResources
  • A collection of useful variables to use in nearly every part of an app.
  • Includes easy access to an app's main Navigator and Frame.
  • Includes an Observatory.
  • navKey, frameKey, and observatory must be set up properly for all features to work properly.

TopInherit

The following widgets required a TopInherit ancestor.

• Frame
  • An alternative base UI element to replace app bars and nav drawers.
  • Has support for horizontal and vertical modes with animated transitions when dimensions change.
  • Allows for the top bar to be hidden.
  • To function properly, requires FrameContent as a child.
  • Meant to be used in MaterialApp.builder.
• Bottom
  • A model bottom sheet meant to replace dialogs.
  • Prevents the dialog from filling the screen.
  • Integrates well with having a Frame as an ancestor, but does not require it.

Frame

The following widgets require a Frame ancestor.

• Observatory
  • Requires a properly set up TopResources.frameKey
  • A NavigatorObserver that keeps track of the app's current back stack
    • Allows you to know what your current route is, and find a route in it's current stack.
  • Passes route information to Frame.
• FrameContent
  • Simple Scaffold replacement that communicates with a Frame.
• IntroScreen
  • Multi-screen introduction.

FrameContent

The following widgets require a FrameContent ancestor.

• SpeedDial
  • A Speed Dial fab that blocks interactions with the content when expanded..
    • Still allows access to the Frame's navigation.
