layout_grids 0.2.0

Visual aids for grid systems, which can be used to ensure that your UI conforms to your desired grid layout.

layout_grids

layout_grids is a Dart/Flutter package that makes it easy to overlay several types of grids on your UI, to make sure that it lines up nicely with your design's grid system.

Installation

To use this plugin in your project, add layout_grids as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Usage

Wrap the UI that should conform to your grid system with a GridOverlay. This widget takes a list of grids and an optional enabled parameter, which defaults to true.

Supported Grid Types

This package supports various layout grids that can be visualized in UI/UX tools like Figma and Adobe XD.

Pixel Grids

Simple square grids with a fixed cell size.

• PixelGrid

Example:

GridOverlay(
    grids: [
        PixelGrid(
            cellSize: 8.0,
            color: Colors.red.withOpacity(0.8),
        ),
    ],
    child: CounterApp(),
);

Flex Grids

Flex grids are composed of flexible bands (rows or columns) with a fixed count, gutter size, and margin size. After allocating space for the margins and gutters, the bands expand to fill the remaining space.

• FlexRowGrid
• FlexColumnGrid

Example:

GridOverlay(
    grids: [
        FlexColumnGrid(
          count: 4,
          gutter: 8,
          margin: 16,
          color: Colors.green.withOpacity(0.2),
        ),
    ],
    child: CounterApp(),
);

Fixed Band Grids

A grid of bands (rows or columns) with a fixed size, count, and gutter size. An alignment and offset can optionally be specified, but the grid positioning defaults to centered.

• FixedRowGrid
• FixedColumnGrid

Example:

GridOverlay(
    grids: [
        FixedRowGrid(
            count: 6,
            height: 32,
            gutter: 8,
            alignment: GridAlignment.end,
            color: Colors.cyan.withOpacity(0.2),
        ),
    ],
    child: CounterApp(),
);

Example

See the example folder for a simple app that combines several grids into a single overlay.
