Core Components

FloatingModernNavBar

The main navigation widget. It renders the floating container, item states, selection animation, labels, badges, and style variants.

FloatingNavBarItem

The model used for each tab item.

• icon: default icon
• activeIcon: optional selected-state icon
• label: item label text
• tooltip: optional semantic tooltip
• badgeCount: optional badge value

FloatingNavBarScrollContainer

A scroll-aware wrapper that includes:

• internal NotificationListener<ScrollNotification>
• internal progress tracking via ValueNotifier
• automatic collapseProgress and transparencyProgress updates
• optional end-of-scroll transparency behavior

Use this when you want the floating bar behavior fully managed by the package.

FloatingNavBarVariant

Prebuilt visual styles:

• FloatingNavBarVariant.modern: balanced default style for general products
• FloatingNavBarVariant.glassmorphism: frosted/translucent look with blur
• FloatingNavBarVariant.compact: reduced vertical footprint and dense layout

• Visual Styling: backgroundColor / backgroundGradient, borderColor, borderWidth, shadowColor, boxShadow, elevation
• State Colors: selectedItemColor, unselectedItemColor, selectedLabelColor, unselectedLabelColor, indicatorColor
• Typography & Icons: iconSize, selectedIconScale, showLabels, selectedLabelStyle, unselectedLabelStyle
• Interaction: splashColor, highlightColor, enableFeedback

• Scroll Integration: FloatingNavBarScrollContainer with collapseDistance and transparentAtScrollEnd

      bottomNavigationBar: FloatingModernNavBar(
        currentIndex: index,
        onTap: (value) => setState(() => index = value),
        items: const [
          FloatingNavBarItem(icon: Icons.home_rounded, label: 'Home'),

Scroll-managed Usage

Use this mode when you want the package to manage scroll tracking, collapse, and transparency behavior.

FloatingNavBarScrollContainer(
  collapseDistance: 140,
  transparentAtScrollEnd: true,
  child: yourScrollableBody,
  navBarBuilder: (context, collapseProgress, transparencyProgress) {
    return FloatingModernNavBar(
      items: items,
      currentIndex: currentIndex,
      onTap: onTap,
      collapseProgress: collapseProgress,
      transparencyProgress: transparencyProgress,
    );
  },
)

Set transparentAtScrollEnd: false to keep the bar visible at the bottom of the scroll.
