Flutter Scalify 🚀

A powerful and elegant Flutter package for responsive design. Easily scale your UI elements (text, spacing, icons, containers) across all screen sizes with simple extensions.

Developed with by Alaa Hassan Damad Iraq 🇮🇶

Features ✨

• 🎯 Simple API: Use intuitive extensions like 16.fz, 20.s, 24.iz.
• 📱 Fully Responsive: Automatically adapts to Mobile, Tablet, Desktop, and Large Desktop.
• 🎨 Comprehensive: Scale fonts, spacing, icons, widths, heights, border radius, and more.
• ⚡️ Performance: Lightweight, optimized, and includes debounce handling for window resizing.
• 🔧 Flexible: Works with any Flutter widget.

Advanced / Precision features (v1.0.1)

• 🔁 Two-axis scaling: The system calculates both a width-driven scale (scaleWidth) and a height-driven scale (scaleHeight), and exposes a combined scaleFactor. This improves visual consistency on ultra-wide, short, or tall screens.
• 🔡 Text accessibility: Font sizes produced by .fz respect the device's system text scale factor when enabled (use ResponsiveConfig.respectTextScaleFactor).
• 🛡️ Clamping: minScale and maxScale bounds prevent UI elements from becoming too small or excessively large on extreme screen sizes.
• 🧭 AppWidthLimiter centering: Supports optional horizontal padding so centered content on very wide viewports does not touch the window edges.
• ✅ Safe padding helper: The list-based padding shorthand ([a].p, [a,b].p) validates input to avoid accidental layout bugs.
• 🔁 Global Access: GlobalResponsive is available for legacy code, while ResponsiveProvider.of(context) is recommended for widgets.

Responsive Preview

Installation

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

dependencies:
  flutter_scalify: ^1.0.1

Then run:

flutter pub get

Quick Start & Usage

1. Wrap your app with ResponsiveProvider

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_scalify/flutter_scalify.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      builder: (context, child) {
        // Initialize the provider
        return ResponsiveProvider(
          config: const ResponsiveConfig(maxScale: 3.0),
          child: child ?? const SizedBox(),
        );
      },
      home: const ScalifyExampleHome(),
    );
  }
}

2. Use the extensions

Text(
  "Hello World",
  style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.fz), // Responsive font size
)

Container(
  padding: 16.p,                      // Responsive padding
  margin: [20, 10].p,                 // Responsive margin (vertical 10, horizontal 20)
  width: 200.w,                       // Responsive width
  height: 100.h,                      // Responsive height
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    borderRadius: 12.br,              // Responsive border radius
  ),
  child: Icon(Icons.home, size: 24.iz), // Responsive icon size
)

Available Extensions

Text & Sizing

• 16.fz - Font size (text size) - respects accessibility if configured.
• 24.iz - Icon size.
• 100.w - Width-driven scale.
• 50.h - Height-driven scale.
• 12.r - Border radius (uses conservative scale).
• 48.ui - UI elements (buttons, inputs).
• 1.5.sc - General scaling factor.

Spacing

• 20.s - Space (used for margins, padding, etc.).

Padding Shortcuts

• 16.p - Padding all sides.
• 16.ph - Padding horizontal.
• 16.pv - Padding vertical.
• [16, 24].p - Symmetric padding (horizontal 16, vertical 24).
• [10, 20, 30, 40].p - LTRB padding.

Note: The list padding helper validates the list length. Allowed lengths are 1, 2, or 4.

Spacing Widgets

• 20.sbh - SizedBox height.
• 30.sbw - SizedBox width.

Responsive Grid Example

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  // Use the context extension to get the helper
  final helper = context.responsiveHelper; 
  
  final crossAxisCount = helper.valueByScreen(
    watch: 1,
    mobile: 1,
    tablet: 2,
    smallDesktop: 3,
    desktop: 4,
    largeDesktop: 5,
  );

  return GridView.builder(
    gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
      crossAxisCount: crossAxisCount,
      mainAxisSpacing: 16.s,
      crossAxisSpacing: 16.s,
    ),
    itemBuilder: (context, index) => YourWidget(),
  );
}

Screen Breakpoints

The package automatically detects screen sizes based on width:

• Watch: < 300px
• Mobile: 300px - 600px
• Tablet: 600px - 900px
• Small Desktop: 900px - 1200px
• Desktop: 1200px - 1800px
• Large Desktop: > 1800px

AppWidthLimiter

Limit the maximum width of your app for better UX on large screens. This centers your content and adds a safe background area.

AppWidthLimiter(
  maxWidth: 1400,
  horizontalPadding: 16, // Optional outer padding
  child: YourContent(),
)

Behavior & Configuration

ResponsiveConfig exposes options to tune breakpoints and scaling behavior:

• watchBreakpoint, mobileBreakpoint, etc.
• respectTextScaleFactor: When true, .fz multiplies by system text scale.
• minScale and maxScale: Clamp sizes to prevent UI explosions.
• outerHorizontalPadding: Default padding used by AppWidthLimiter when centering content.
