Installation

Add gamma_smart_pagination: ^1.0.4 to your pubspec.yaml dependencies. And import it:

import 'package:gamma_smart_pagination/gamma_smart_pagination.dart';

How to use

1. Simply create a GammaSmartPagination widget.
2. Wrap it around any scrollable widget (ListView / GridView).
3. Pass it the required GammaController and ScrollController along with any other available params.

Tip: Keep in mind that GammaSmartPagination is actually a SingleChildScrollView, so be mindful to not have unbounded height in the parent widget. (ListViews wrapped with GammaSmartPagination need to have shrinkWrap:true and NeverScrollableScrollPhysics.)

Params
