Hover Menu for Flutter

A Flutter package for creating a hover menu for desktop and web applications, providing a common web menu experience.

Features

• Easy-to-use hover menu that appears when the user hovers over a specified title widget
• Closes the menu when the user stops hovering over the menu or its items
• Customizable

Installation

To use this package, add hover_menu as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  hover_menu: ^1.0.0

Then, run flutter packages get in your terminal.

Usage

Import the package into your Dart file:

import 'package:hover_menu/hover_menu.dart';

Create a HoverMenu widget in your app:

HoverMenu(
  title: Text('Menu Title'),
  items: [
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 1')),
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 2')),
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 3')),
  ],
)

Optionally, you can set a custom width for the menu:

HoverMenu(
  title: Text('Menu Title'),
  items: [
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 1')),
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 2')),
    ListTile(title: Text('Item 3')),
  ],
  width: 250,
)

Example

Here is an example of how to use the HoverMenu widget in your application:

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

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Hover Menu Example')),
        body: Center(
          child: HoverMenu(
            title: InkWell(
              onTap: () {},
              child: Text('Menu Title'),
            ),
            items: [
              InkWell(
                onTap: () {
                  print('Item 1 clicked');
                },
                child: ListTile(title: Text('Item 1')),
              ),
              InkWell(
                onTap: () {
                  print('Item 2 clicked');
                },
                child: ListTile(title: Text('Item 2')),
              ),
              InkWell(
                onTap: () {
                  print('Item 3 clicked');
                },
                child: ListTile(title: Text('Item 3')),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Limitation

• I do not recommend using this package for mobile applications, as the standard Drawer and AppBar provide a better user experience. Consider using an 'if' condition. Something like:

bool isDesktopOrWeb() {
  if (kIsWeb) {
    return true;
  }
  if (Platform.isWindows || Platform.isMacOS || Platform.isLinux) {
    return true;
  }

  return false;
}

And in your build:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: isDesktopOrWeb() ? null : AppBar(title: Text('Conditional Widget Example')),
        drawer: isDesktopOrWeb() ? null : MyDrawer(),
        body: Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              if (isDesktopOrWeb()) HoverMenu(
                  title: Text('Menu Title'),
                  items: [
                    ListTile(title: Text('Item 1')),
                    ListTile(title: Text('Item 2')),
                    ListTile(title: Text('Item 3')),
                  ],
                ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
