simple_animation v4 migration kit

This packages contains classes and documentation to help you migrate your code base from simple_animations v4 to v5.

Once migrated you can remove this package from your project.

Flutter classes

This package contains the following classes:

• PlayAnimation
• CustomAnimation
• LoopAnimation
• MirrorAnimation
• MultiTween
• TimelineTween

Migrations

PlayAnimation, CustomAnimation, LoopAnimation, MirrorAnimation

Those classes got a rename to better fit the Flutter naming convention.

• PlayAnimation -> PlayAnimationBuilder
• CustomAnimation -> CustomAnimationBuilder
• LoopAnimation -> LoopAnimationBuilder
• MirrorAnimation -> MirrorAnimationBuilder

Also the order of arguments of the builder() method has been aligned to Flutter builder methods.

• build(context, child, animatedValue) -> build(context, animation, child)

The duration property was optional (defaulted to 1 second) and is now mandatory.

Also lifecycle listener got renamed:

• onStart -> onStarted
• onComplete -> onCompleted

final from = PlayAnimation<double>(
  tween: Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0),
  // duration is optional
  onStart: () => debugPrint('onStart'),
  onComplete: () => debugPrint('onComplete'),
  builder: (context, child, value) {
    return Container(width: value, height: value, color: Colors.red);
  },
);

final to = PlayAnimationBuilder<double>(
  tween: Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0),
  duration: const Duration(seconds: 1), // duration is mandatory
  onStarted: () => debugPrint('onStart'), // got renamed
  onCompleted: () => debugPrint('onComplete'), // got renamed
  // order changed -> child is last argument
  builder: (context, value, child) {
    return Container(width: value, height: value, color: Colors.red);
  },
);

MultiTween

Migrate your MultiTween to MovieTween as it offers a similar API.

final multiTween = MultiTween<String>()
  ..add('width', Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0), const Duration(seconds: 1),
      Curves.easeIn)
  ..add('width', Tween(begin: 100.0, end: 200.0), const Duration(seconds: 2),
      Curves.easeOut)
  ..add('color', ColorTween(begin: Colors.red, end: Colors.blue),
      const Duration(seconds: 3));

final movieTween = MovieTween()
  ..tween('width', Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0),
          duration: const Duration(seconds: 1), curve: Curves.easeIn)
      .thenTween('width', Tween(begin: 100.0, end: 200.0),
          duration: const Duration(seconds: 2), curve: Curves.easeOut)
  ..tween('color', ColorTween(begin: Colors.red, end: Colors.blue),
      duration: const Duration(seconds: 3));

// Animation value now has type `Movie`
MultiTweenValues<String> multiTweenValue = multiTween.transform(0.5);
Movie movieTweenValue = movieTween.transform(0.5);

// Accessing value stays the same
final value1 = multiTweenValue.get<double>('width');
final value2 = movieTweenValue.get<double>('width');

TimelineTween

Migrate your TimelineTween to MovieTween as it offers a similar API.

// You can continue using an enum for property names...
enum Props { width, color }

// ...but you can also use a string or `MultiTweenProperty`, e.g:
const width = 'width';
final color = MovieTweenProperty<Color?>();

void main() {
  final timelineTween = TimelineTween<Props>()
    ..addScene(
            begin: const Duration(seconds: 0), end: const Duration(seconds: 1))
        .animate(Props.width,
            tween: Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0), curve: Curves.easeIn)
    ..addScene(
            begin: const Duration(seconds: 1), end: const Duration(seconds: 3))
        .animate(Props.width,
            tween: Tween(begin: 100.0, end: 200.0), curve: Curves.easeOut)
    ..addScene(
            begin: const Duration(seconds: 0), end: const Duration(seconds: 3))
        .animate(Props.color,
            tween: ColorTween(begin: Colors.red, end: Colors.blue));

  final movieTween = MovieTween()
    ..scene(begin: const Duration(seconds: 0), end: const Duration(seconds: 1))
        .tween(Props.width, Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 100.0), curve: Curves.easeIn)
    ..scene(begin: const Duration(seconds: 1), end: const Duration(seconds: 3))
        .tween(Props.width, Tween(begin: 100.0, end: 200.0),
            curve: Curves.easeOut)
    ..scene(begin: const Duration(seconds: 0), end: const Duration(seconds: 3))
        .tween(Props.color, ColorTween(begin: Colors.red, end: Colors.blue));

  // Animation value now has type `Movie`
  TimelineValue<Props> timelineTweenValue = timelineTween.transform(0.5);
  Movie movieTweenValue = movieTween.transform(0.5);

  // Accessing value stays the same
  final value1 = timelineTweenValue.get<double>(Props.width);
  final value2 = movieTweenValue.get<double>(Props.width);

  // If using `MovieTweenProperty` you can use it's API for type-safe access, e.g.:
  final value3 = color.from(movieTweenValue);
