Disclaimer

This package is still early in development. Hit test behaviour does not work outside the space the Breakout widget is in. It uses overflow to achieve the breakout effect, which means that it may not work as expected in all cases. If you have any suggestions for alternative approaches, please open an issue.

Getting Started

To make a widget breakout you simply need to wrap it in a Breakout widget. For example:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return SliverList.list(
    children: [
      Text('some text'),
      Breakout(
        child: Text('breakout text'),
      ),
      Text('some more text'),
    ],
  );
}

But the Breakout widget needs to know where to break out from. This is done by providing a Breakoutable widget in the parent widget. For example:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Breakoutable(
    insets: HorizontalBreakoutInsets(start: 40, end: 40),
    child: /* your content ... */,
  );
}

Make sure that the insets passed to the Breakoutable match the padding you want to break out of.
