Page Animator

A Flutter package that provides smooth page transitions and animations with customizable effects. Perfect for creating engaging user interfaces with horizontal page navigation.

Features

• Multiple animation types for page transitions, switchable in realtime
• Infinite scrolling in both directions, with ability to set bounds in realtime
• Animated switcher - tap on a page, and it will zoom out, similar to Kindle reader
• Immersive mode support

Animation Types

The package supports various animation types through PageAnimatorType. Here's a comprehensive list of all available animations:

Preview	Preview	Preview
Uncompressed gif animatedSwitcher - Animated switcher transition	Uncompressed gif noAnimation - No animation effect, instant page switch	Uncompressed gif horizontalSimple - Simple horizontal slide transition
Uncompressed gif horizontalFade - Horizontal slide with fade effect	Uncompressed gif horizontalFadeInverse - Horizontal slide with inverse fade effect	Uncompressed gif verticalSimple - Simple vertical slide transition
Uncompressed gif verticalFade - Vertical slide with fade effect	Uncompressed gif verticalFadeInverse - Vertical slide with inverse fade effect

You can change the animation type dynamically using the controller:

pageAnimatorController.type.value = PageAnimatorType.verticalFade;

Installation

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

dependencies:
  page_animator: ^1.0.0

Usage

1. Import the package:

import 'package:page_animator/page_animator.dart';

2. Create a PageAnimatorController:

final pageAnimatorController = PageAnimatorController(
  type: PageAnimatorType.horizontalFade,
);

3. Use the PageAnimator widget:

PageAnimator(
  controller: pageAnimatorController,
  onPageChanged: (int currentPage) {
    print('Page offset: $currentPage');
  },
  leftMostIndex: -3,
  rightMostIndex: 3,
  children: [
    // Your page widgets here
  ],
  enableImmersiveSwitch: true,
)

Page Bounds

The PageAnimator widget allows you to set bounds for page navigation using leftMostIndex and rightMostIndex parameters:

• leftMostIndex: The minimum page offset that can be reached by swiping left
• rightMostIndex: The maximum page offset that can be reached by swiping right

These bounds can be changed in realtime, allowing you to dynamically control the navigation range. For example:

// Initially allow navigation indefinitelly
PageAnimator(
  leftMostIndex: null,
  rightMostIndex: null,
  // ... other parameters
)

// Later, you can update the bounds
PageAnimator(
  leftMostIndex: -3,
  rightMostIndex: 3,
  // ... other parameters
)

When a bound is reached, the page will stop scrolling in that direction, providing a natural end to the navigation.

Example

Here's a complete example showing how to use the package:

class MyPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<MyPage> createState() => _MyPageState();
}

class _MyPageState extends State<MyPage> {
  final pageAnimatorController = PageAnimatorController(
    type: PageAnimatorType.horizontalFade,
  );

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: PageAnimator(
        controller: pageAnimatorController,
        onPageChanged: (int currentPage) {
          print('Page offset: $currentPage');
        },
        leftMostIndex: -3,
        rightMostIndex: 3,
        children: [
          for (final page in List.generate(3, (index) => index))
            _buildPage(page),
        ],
        enableImmersiveSwitch: true,
      ),
    );
  }

  Widget _buildPage(int page) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text('Page $page'),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () => pageAnimatorController.animateToOffset(1),
        child: const Icon(Icons.skip_next),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Controller Methods

The PageAnimatorController provides several methods to control page transitions:

• animateToOffset(int offset): Animate to a specific page offset
• type: Change the animation type dynamically
• switcherActive: Control the page switcher state
