Flutter Draggable Menu (draggable_menu)

Quick Start

To start as fast as possible, you need to know how to create and open it.

Create the Draggable Menu

Create a Draggable Menu widget with a child.

DraggableMenu(
  child: child, // Optional
)

Open the Draggable Menu

Open the menu by calling Draggable Menu's static open method.

DraggableMenu.open(
  context,
  DraggableMenu(
    child: child, // Optional
  ),
)

You can use the Draggable Menu inside of another widget, and give it to the open method. Like this:

DraggableMenu.open(
  context,
  MyCustomDraggableMenu(),
)

Note: The DraggableMenu.open() shouldn't be in the same place as the MaterialApp widget.

Parameters of DraggableMenu

Category	Parameters	Description
Constraints	double? minHeight	It specifies the min-height of the Draggable Menu. If the child's height is higher, it will take its child's height instead.
Constraints	double? maxHeight	It specifies the max-height of the Draggable Menu's minimized status (Not Expanded). When the menu is expanded, it takes its expandedHeight parameter's value as its height. To be able to use an expandable draggable menu, the expandedHeight parameter must be higher than the maxHeight parameter.
Constraints	double? expandedHeight	It specifies the height of the Draggable Menu when it's expanded. To be able to use an expandable draggable menu, the expandedHeight parameter must be higher than the maxHeight parameter, and the expandable parameter mustn't be null.
Usage	bool? expandable	It specifies whether the Draggable Menu will be expandable or not. The expandedHeight parameter must be provided to use an expandable draggable menu.
Usage	double? closeThreshold	Specifies the Close Threshold of the Draggable Menu. Takes a value between 0 and 1.
Usage	double? expandThreshold	Specifies the Expand Threshold of the Draggable Menu. Takes a value between 0 and 1.
Usage	double? minimizeThreshold	Specifies the Minimize Threshold of the Draggable Menu. Takes a value between 0 and 1.
UI	Widget? child	Adds a child inside the Draggable Menu's Default UI.
UI	Color? color	Specifies the Background color of the Default UIs.
UI	Color? accentColor	Specifies the Bar Item color of the Default UIs.
UI	double? radius	Specifies the radius of the Default UIs.
UI	DraggableMenuUiType? uiType	Specifies the Default UI Type.
UI	Widget? barItem	Overrides the Default Bar Item of the Default UIs.
UI	Widget? customUi	Overrides the Default UIs.
Listener	Function(DraggableMenuStatus status)? addStatusListener	Adds a listener to listen to its Status.
Listener	final Function(double menuValue)? addValueListener	Adds a listener to listen to its Menu Value.
Animation	Duration? animationDuration	Specifies the duration of the Draggable Menu's animations.
Animation	Curve? curve	Specifies the curve of the Draggable Menu's animations.

How To Use

Create a Draggable Menu and Open it

You can create a Draggable Menu by just using this:

DraggableMenu(
  child: child, // Optional
)

After that, you will probably want to push the Draggable Menu to the screen. To do that, use Navigator's methods (e.g. push) or the Draggable Menu's open or openReplacement methods. They are the same with just a little difference. The openReplacement method replaces the previous root (e.g. Navigator.pushReplacement).

DraggableMenu.open(
  context,
  DraggableMenu(
    child: child, // Optional
  ),
  barrier: barrier, // Optional. If it's true uses a root with barrier.
  barrierColor: barrierColor, // Optional. Changes the barrier's color.
  animationDuration: animationDuration, // Optional. Specifies its animation's duration.
  curve: animationDuration, // Optional. Specifies its animation's curve.
)

---

Use the Expandable Draggable Menu

To do that, first, you should set the expandable parameter to true, and then set the value of the expandedHeight parameter.

The expandedHeight parameter mustn't be null or smaller than the child's height or the maxHeight or the minHeight parameters.

DraggableMenu(
  expandable: true,
  expandedHeight: expandedHeight,// Mustn't be null or smaller than its widget's height or the "maxHeight" or the "minHeight" parameters. 
  maxHeight: maxHeight, // Optional
  minHeight: minHeight, // Optional
  child: child, // Optional
)

---

Use Different UIs

Use different UIs by setting the uiType parameter. The uiType parameter takes DraggableMenuUiType. And DraggableMenuUiType currently has these:

• Classic
• Modern
• Soft Modern

The uiType param is optional, so if you don't use it, its default value is DraggableMenuUiType.classic.

DraggableMenu(
  uiType: DraggableMenuUiType.modern,
  child: child, // Optional
)

---

Using Scrollables

While using scrollable with a Draggable Menu you need to add the ScrollableManager widget above the scrollable you want to control Draggable with and set the physics of the Scrollable (e.g. ListView) to NeverScrollableScrollPhysics. The ScrollableManager widget must be under a DraggableMenu widget. You can do it by just simply using your widgets under its child or customUI parameters.

DraggableMenu(
  child: ScrollableManager(
    child: ListView(
      physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
    ), // You can use any scrollable widget
  ),
)

If there will be more than one ScrollableManager at the same time, give each scrollables different controllers.

In short, do not forget to use ScrollableManager and set the physics of the scrollable you want to NeverScrollableScrollPhysics.

Extra: Check out the ScrollableManager's enableExpandedScroll parameter.

Using the Status Listener

Use the addStatusListener parameter to listen to the Draggable Menu's status.

Dragable Menu's status are:

• Closing
• MayClose
• Canceling
• Minimized
• Minimizing
• May Expand
• May Minimize
• Expanding
• Expanded

You can point them out with DraggableMenuStatus like:

DraggableMenu(
  addStatusListener: (status) {
    if (status == DraggableMenuStatus.mayExpand) {
      // Add something to do when its status is mayExpand
    }
    // Add something to do when its status change
  }
  child: child, // Optional
)
