emptiable_list

Container for a list-displaying widget, that can display a placeholder-widget when the list is empty.

Can be handy if you are displaying stream of lists in a widget, that supports animations and must remain in widget hierarchy when empty in order to preserve animation states (for example https://pub.dev/packages/animated_stream_list).

EmptiableList always keeps both placeholder and list widgets in a widget tree, thus both of them can have animated transitions. What EmptiableList does, is it keeps both widgets on top of each other, only changing their transparency.

Getting Started

Create list with placeholder:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return EmptiableList(
            listStream: stream,
            placeholder: Center(child: Text('No items =(')),
            list: AnimatedStreamList(
                streamList: controller.stream,
                itemBuilder: _createItem,
                itemRemovedBuilder: _createItem
            )
  );
}
