A HoverableNavigationRail that gives it's children an ability to use a onHover effect

Hoverable Navigation Rail

A Flutter package that extends the standard NavigationRail widget to provide hover state detection for individual destinations. This allows you to easily add interactive hover effects to your navigation rail items.

Features

• Hover State Detection: Enables you to detect when the mouse cursor hovers over individual NavigationRailDestination items.
• Custom Hover Callbacks: Provides an Function(bool isHovered) onHoverStateChange callback for each destination, allowing you to execute custom logic when the hover state changes.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to work smoothly with the standard NavigationRail widget, preserving all its existing functionality.
• Easy to Use: Simple API for adding hover functionality to your navigation rails.

Getting started

1. Add the dependency:

   dependencies:
     hoverable_navigation_rail: ^latest_version
   

   Replace latest_version with the latest version of the package.

2. Import the package:

   import 'package:hoverable_navigation_rail/hoverable_navigation_rail.dart';
   

Usage

Replace standard NavigationRailDestination with HoverableNavigationRailDestination and use HoverableNavigationRail instead of NavigationRail.

import 'package:hoverable_navigation_rail/hoverable_navigation_rail.dart';

class MyNavigationRail extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyNavigationRail({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyNavigationRail> createState() => _MyNavigationRailState();
}

class _MyNavigationRailState extends State<MyNavigationRail> {
  int _selectedIndex = 0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Row(
        children: [
          HoverableNavigationRail(
            selectedIndex: _selectedIndex,
            onDestinationSelected: (index) {
              setState(() {
                _selectedIndex = index;
              });
            },
            destinations: [
              HoverableNavigationRailDestination(
                icon: const Icon(Icons.home),
                label: 'Home',
                onHoverStateChange: (isHovered) {
                  print('Home hovered: $isHovered');
                  // Add your hover logic here
                },
              ),
              HoverableNavigationRailDestination(
                icon: const Icon(Icons.settings),

                onHoverStateChange: (isHovered) {
                  print('Settings hovered: $isHovered');
                  // Add your hover logic here
                },
              ),
              HoverableNavigationRailDestination(

                onHoverStateChange: (isHovered) {
                  print('Profile hovered: $isHovered');

              ),
            ],
          ),
          Expanded(
