Installing

1. Depend on it

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter-floating-bottom-bar: ^1.2.0

2. Install it

You can install packages from the command line:

with pub:

pub get

with Flutter:

flutter pub get

3. Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:flutter_floating_bottom_bar/flutter_floating_bottom_bar.dart';

Usage

BottomBar is a Widget that can be wrapped over any child to convert it into a bottom bar. Below is the most simple use:

    BottomBar(
          child: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
            child: Text(
              "This is the floating widget",
              textAlign: TextAlign.center,
              style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
            ),
          ),
          body: (context, controller) =>
              InfiniteListPage(controller: controller, color: Colors.blue,),
    )

It needs two required arguments -

• child – This is the child inside the BottomBar (widget which is floating)
• body – The widget displayed below the BottomBar (like your main app)

Below is the detailed usage of the package, including all properties defined.

            child: IconButton(
              padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
              onPressed: null,

          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(500),
          duration: Duration(seconds: 1),
          curve: Curves.decelerate,
          showIcon: true,
          width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.8,
          barColor: colors[currentPage].computeLuminance() > 0.5 ? Colors.black : Colors.white,
          start: 2,
          end: 0,
          offset: 10,
          barAlignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
