Controller

  GifController controller = GifController();

  controller.play({bool? inverted, int? initialFrame});

  controller.pause();

  controller.stop();

  controller.seek(34);

  GifStatus status = controller.status;
  // GifStatus { loading, playing, stoped, paused, reversing }

Controller use simple example

class MyPage extends StatelessWidget {
  final controller = GifController();
  MyPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: GifView.network(
        'https://www.showmetech.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/happy-minion-gif.gif',
        controller: controller,
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          if (controller.status == GifStatus.playing) {
            controller.pause();
          } else {
            controller.play();
          }
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

Cache Management

Pre-fetching Images

GifView provides a static preFetch method to load and cache GIF images ahead of time for better performance:

// Pre-fetch single or multiple GIFs
await GifView.preFetch(ImageProvider());

Custom Cache Provider

You can implement your own caching strategy by setting a custom cache provider:

// Create custom provider
class MyCustomCacheProvider implements GifCacheProvider {
  @override
  Future<void> add(String key, Uint8List bytes) async {
    // Custom cache implementation
  }

  @override
  Future<Uint8List?> get(String key) async {
    // Custom retrieval implementation
  }

  @override
  Future<void> clear() async {
    // Custom clear implementation
  }
}

// Set custom provider
GifView.setCacheProvider(MyCustomCacheProvider());

// Revert to default provider
GifView.setCacheProvider(null);
