Features

Try online demo

Dashboard can be thought of as a dynamic grid. Your users can create their own layouts, add new widgets or remove widgets.

Layout divides the screen into horizontal slots according to the entered value. The aspect ratio of the slots also determine their height. Widgets called DashboardItem are placed in these slots. This layout can be changed later.

Resize

Dashboard Items can be resized both by long pressing on mobile and by holding and moving on desktop/browser.

Move

Dashboard Item locations can be changed by long pressing on mobile or by holding and pulling on desktop/browser.

Slots Changes

With dynamic slot count, you can re-layout window size changes.

Storage Delegate

The layout information of the users can be stored in the database or on the local disk.

Define your storage delegate.

class MyItemStorage extends DashboardItemStorageDelegate {  

  @override  
  FutureOr<List<DashboardItem>> getAllItems(int slotCount) {  
    // return items from db.
  }  
  
  @override  
  FutureOr<void> onItemsUpdated(  
      List<DashboardItem> items, int slotCount) {
      // save new layouts to db.
  }
  //[...]
}

Define Items

Items can come from the database, or can be defined as fixed.

Fixed:

DashboardItemController(items: [
  DashboardItem(width: 2, height: 3, identifier: "id_1"),  
  DashboardItem(  
      startX: 3, startY: 4, width: 3, height: 1, identifier: "id_2"),  
]);

Or with delegate:

DashboardItemController<ADashboardItemImp>.withDelegate(  
    itemStorageDelegate: MyItemStorage())

Define Builder

The Builder is invoked with a DashboardItem and returns a widget.

Dashboard(  
  dashboardItemController: itemController,  
  itemBuilder: (item) {
	return Text(item.identifier);
  },  
);
