overlay_tutorial

A Flutter package for displaying overlay tutorial.

Feature

  • Allow to display an overlay tutorial with hole cropping.
  • Allow to display hint aside hole.
  • Allow to customize hole shape.

Usage

Wrap the widget that you want to create a hole using OverlayTutorialHole. Ensure you have OverlayTutorialScope as a parent of these holes.

  1. Use OverlayTutorialScope.enabled property to control the visibility of the overlay tutorial. If this is false, the entire overlay tutorial will be hidden.
  2. Use OverlayTutorialHole.enabled property to control the visibility of the holes.

Hole Shape

  • OverlayTutorialRectEntry draws a Rectangle shape
  • OverlayTutorialCircleEntry draws a Circle shape
  • OverlayTutorialCustomShapeEntry allows to draw a customized shape

Disabling Widget

Disabling widget is not provided by this package out of the box. You can achieve this using one of the Flutter widget: AbsorbPointer or IgnorePointer. Make sure you do not wrap the OverlayTutorialScope with these widgets as this will disable the widget in OverlayTutorialWidgetHint.
