post_office 0.1.0+1

Simply post messages from anywhere in your app to PostBox widgets and display them.

PostOffice

Overview

Using a Snackbar requires you to have access to the BuildContext of the current Scaffold. PostOffice allows you to trigger info messages in your app and display them everywhere a PostBox is installed.

Installation

dependencies:
  post_office: ^0.1.0

Usage

Simply wrap your MaterialApp in the PostOffice widget. The PostOffice will distribute your messages throughout your app.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return PostOffice(
      child: MaterialApp(
        home: LoginPage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Wrap your Scaffold's body content in a PostBox widget to receive and display all messages sent to PostOffice.

Scaffold(
  body: PostBox(
    child: //Put your body here
  )
);

Anywhere in your app you can send messages to the PostOffice. Additionally, you can specify a type and a duration, how long the message should be displayed.

PostOffice.of(context).send(
  "registration complete",
  type: MessageType.success,
  duration: Duration(seconds: 3),
);

If you want complete freedom of how your Message should look like, you can also use PostBoxBuilder and render your own Widget.

PostBoxBuilder(
  builder: (context, message){
    return Text(message.text);
  },
),
