A Flutter package that provides a customizable circular/radial context menu similar to Pinterest's

Usage

Wrap the widget that will react to gestures with PieMenu widget, and give the menu a list of PieActions to display as menu buttons.

PieMenu(
  actions: [
    PieAction(
      tooltip: 'Like',
      onSelect: () => print('Like action selected.'),
      child: const Icon(Icons.favorite), // Not necessarily an icon widget
    ),
  ],
  child: YourWidget(),
),

Note that you can only use PieMenu in the sub-hierarchy of a PieCanvas widget. Menu will not be functional if it does not have a canvas ancestor.

Wrap the parent widget of your page (or any other widget you want to draw the canvas on) with PieCanvas widget.

For example, if you want the menu to be displayed at the forefront, you can wrap your Scaffold with a PieCanvas like following:

PieCanvas(
  child: Scaffold(
    body: YourScaffoldBody(
      ...
        PieMenu(),
      ...
    ),
  ),
),

Using with Scrollable and Interactive Widgets

⚠️ If you want to use PieMenu inside a scrollable view like a ListView, or your widget is already interactive (e.g. it is clickable), you may need to pay attention to this section.

PieCanvas and PieMenu widgets have a functional callback named onMenuToggle which is triggered when a PieMenu that inherits the respective canvas is opened and closed. Using this callback, you can prevent your scrollable or interactive widget's default behavior in order to give the control to the PieMenu.

If you can think of a better implementation to handle this automatically, feel free to create a new issue on this package's repository and express your opinion.

Using the menuVisible parameter of the onMenuToggle callback, store a bool variable in your StatefulWidget state.

bool _menuVisible = false;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return PieCanvas(
    onMenuToggle: (menuVisible) {
      setState(() => _menuVisible = menuVisible);
    },
    ...
  );
}

Scrollable Widgets

Using the _menuVisible variable, you can decide whether scrolling should be enabled or not.

ListView(
  // Disable scrolling if a 'PieMenu' is visible
  physics: _menuVisible
      ? NeverScrollableScrollPhysics()
      : ScrollPhysics(), // Or your default scroll physics
  ...
);

Interactive Widgets

Again using the _menuVisible variable, you can disable the default behavior of your interactive widget. For example, if your widget detects taps using a GestureDetector, you can nullify the onTap callback when a PieMenu is visible.

GestureDetector(
  onTap: _menuVisible
      ? null
      : () => print('Tap'),
),

Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of menus using PieTheme.

Using the theme attribute of PieCanvas widget, you can specify a theme for all the PieMenus that inherit the canvas.

PieCanvas(
  theme: PieTheme(),
  ...
    PieMenu(), // Uses the canvas theme
  ...
    PieMenu(), // Uses the canvas theme
  ...
),

But if you want to specify menu specific themes, you can also use the theme attribute of PieMenu widget.

PieMenu(
  theme: PieTheme(), // Overrides the canvas theme
),

Buttons' background and icon colors are defined by theme's buttonTheme and buttonThemeHovered properties. You can create a custom PieButtonTheme instances for your theme.

PieTheme(
  buttonTheme: PieButtonTheme(),

  // Using 'hovered' constructor is not necessary
  buttonThemeHovered: PieButtonTheme.hovered(),
),
