swipe_reveal_card

A lightweight Flutter card with horizontal swipe-to-reveal actions.

Swipe left on a card to uncover Edit / Archive / Delete-style actions — with a small, typed API and no heavy gesture controllers.

Features

• Swipe left to reveal one or more actions
• SwipeRevealController for programmatic open / close / toggle
• SwipeRevealGroup so only one card is open in a list
• Auto-close after an action tap (closeOnAction)
• Close when tapping the card body while open (closeOnCardTap)
• Disable swipe with enabled: false
• Custom action widgets via SwipeAction.child
• Optional icons and custom action colors
• Material ink ripples on card and action taps
• Soft elevation with zero-margin “flush” mode
• Zero third-party dependencies beyond Flutter

Install

dependencies:
  swipe_reveal_card: ^0.2.0

import 'package:swipe_reveal_card/swipe_reveal_card.dart';

Usage

final group = SwipeRevealGroup();

SwipeRevealCard(
  group: group,
  closeOnAction: true,
  onTap: () => debugPrint('opened'),
  actions: [
    SwipeAction(
      label: 'Edit',
      icon: Icons.edit_outlined,
      onPressed: () {},
    ),
    SwipeAction(
      label: 'Delete',
      icon: Icons.delete_outline,
      color: Colors.red,
      onPressed: () {},
    ),
  ],
  child: const ListTile(
    title: Text('Ship checklist'),
    subtitle: Text('Docs, tests, and pub.dev dry-run'),
  ),
)

Controller

final controller = SwipeRevealController();

SwipeRevealCard(
  controller: controller,
  actions: [SwipeAction(label: 'Edit', onPressed: () {})],
  child: const ListTile(title: Text('Item')),
);

controller.open();
controller.close();
controller.toggle();

Plain card (no swipe)

Omit actions (or pass null) for a simple elevated card:

SwipeRevealCard(
  onTap: () {},
  child: const ListTile(title: Text('Hello')),
)

Testing

Unit tests live under test/. Behavior is also specified with Gherkin (.feature) files under test/bdd/ using bdd_widget_test.

# After editing .feature files, regenerate and commit the Dart tests
dart run build_runner build
dart format .

# Run all tests (unit + BDD)
flutter test

Generated BDD tests under test/bdd/ are committed — CI does not regenerate them.

Example

cd example
flutter run

Compared to flutter_slidable

swipe_reveal_card is intentionally smaller: horizontal scroll-to-reveal actions on a card surface. If you need dismissible panes, start/end action regions, or custom motion types, prefer flutter_slidable.
