flexi_ui 1.2.1

A high-performance Flutter responsive UI framework with type-safe breakpoints, fluid scaling, and component-level adaptive layouts.

Flexi UI 🚀

A High-Performance, Type-Safe Flutter Responsive & Adaptive UI Framework

Flexi UI is a production-ready Flutter responsive framework for building scalable, adaptive apps across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
It combines fluid scaling, breakpoint-based layouts, design tokens, and a granular performance model powered by InheritedModel.

---

✨ Why Flexi UI?

Most responsive solutions only scale sizes. Flexi UI provides a complete adaptive system:

✔ Screen-based scaling
✔ Parent-based component scaling
✔ Discrete breakpoint logic
✔ Fluid multi-stage interpolation
✔ Responsive design tokens (spacing, typography, icons)
✔ Built-in accessibility & motion helpers
✔ Granular rebuild performance

🚀 Getting Started

1️⃣ Install

dependencies:
  flexi_ui: ^1.2.1

2️⃣ Wrap Your App

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return FlexiConfig(
      designMinWidth: 360,
      designMaxWidth: 1440,
      showDebugOverlay: true,
      child: const MaterialApp(home: DashboardScreen()),
    );
  }
}

3️⃣ Use Anywhere

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  final flexi = context.flexi;

  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(title: Text(flexi.breakpoint.name)),
    body: flexi.isDesktop ? DesktopLayout() : MobileLayout(),
  );
}

🧾 API Quick Reference

Extensions on num

• .w(context) — % of screen width
• .h(context) — % of screen height
• .rw(context) — responsive width
• .rh(context) — responsive height
• .fw(context) — parent-based width
• .fh(context) — parent-based height
• .aw(max, context) — fluid width interpolation
• .ah(max, context) — fluid height interpolation
• .fr(context) — fluid radius scaling
• .fStroke(context) — dampened border scaling
• .fs(context) — safe uniform scaling
• Tuple2(a, b).d(context) — diagonal scaling

Helpers

• FlexiFluid3 — tiered fluid scaling
• BreakpointValue<T> — discrete breakpoint values
• context.flexi — semantic responsive helper

---

📐 Scaling System

🖥 Screen-Based Scaling

Method	Description
.rw(context)	Responsive width (design → screen)
.rh(context)	Responsive height
.w(context)	% of screen width
.h(context)	% of screen height

---

🌊 Fluid Interpolation

fontSize: 18.aw(32, context)

---

🎚 Tiered Scaling

const FlexiFluid3(mobile: 14, tablet: 16, desktop: 20).resolve(context);

---

🎛 Visual Scaling

Method	Purpose
.fr(context)	Fluid radius scaling
.fStroke(context)	Fluid border width
.fs(context)	Safe uniform scaling

---

🧱 Component-Level Responsiveness

ResponsiveCard(
  targetWidth: 300,
  targetHeight: 400,
  child: Padding(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.fw(context)),
  ),
)

FlexiCircle

FlexiCircle(size: 48, child: Icon(Icons.person))

---

🧩 Layout & Adaptive Components

• FlexiLayout — breakpoint-based layouts
• FlexiAdaptiveNav — adaptive navigation
• FlexiGrid — responsive grid
• FlexiMaxWidth — max-width constraint
• FlexiVisibility — breakpoint visibility

---

🎨 Design Tokens

Typography

FlexiTextStyles.h1(context)

Spacing

FlexiSpacing.m(context)

Icons

FlexiIconSize.m(context)

---

🎞 Motion & Accessibility

Motion

FlexiMotion.durationMedium(context)

Accessibility

• FlexiMinTapTarget
• FlexiTextClamp

---

📊 Breakpoints

Breakpoint	Meaning
mobilePortrait	Phone portrait
mobileLandscape	Phone landscape
tablet	Tablet layouts
desktop	Desktop layouts

---

⚙ Configuration

FlexiConfig(
  designMinWidth: 360,
  designMaxWidth: 1440,
  mobilePortraitBreakpoint: 600,
  tabletLandscapeBreakpoint: 1100,
  spacing: FlexiSpacingConfig.defaultConfig,
  typography: FlexiTypographyConfig.defaultConfig,
  icons: FlexiIconConfig.defaultConfig,
)

Advanced Flags

Flag	Purpose
useParentConstraints	Use parent layout instead of MediaQuery
allowImplicitRebuilds	Allow rebuilds without aspect (not recommended)

---

✅ Best Practices

• Use context.flexi.breakpoint for layout switching
• Prefer design tokens over hardcoded sizes
• Use .fs() for circles/icons
• Keep allowImplicitRebuilds disabled

---

⚡ Performance Model

Flexi UI uses InheritedModel aspect scoping for minimal rebuilds.
You get performance benefits automatically.

---

❗ Troubleshooting

FlexiConfig not found → Wrap your app root with FlexiConfig.
Circles distorted → Use .fs(context).
Unbounded constraints → Use FlexiMaxWidth or constrained parent.

---

🔍 Debug Overlay

FlexiConfig(showDebugOverlay: true)

Shows screen metrics & breakpoints in debug mode.

---

📱 Example App

See /example for dashboard, grids, forms, and scaling showcase.
