🚀 Stateless Animation

Stateless Animation provides a powerful set of Flutter widgets that hide the most complex part of creating animations.

Example: Square with an animated background color.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:simple_animations/simple_animations.dart';
import 'package:supercharged/supercharged.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // create animation widget with type of animated variable
    return PlayAnimation<Color?>(
        tween: Colors.red.tweenTo(Colors.blue), // define tween
        duration: 2.seconds, // define duration
        builder: (context, child, value) {
          return Container(
            color: value, // use animated value
            width: 100,
            height: 100,
          );
        });
  }
}

Note: We use supercharged extensions here. If you don't like it, refer to this dependency-less example.

🎭 Timeline Tween

Timeline Tween is a mighty tool that enables you to tween multiple properties or designing staggered animations in a single Animatable.

Example: Custom tween with multiple properties.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:simple_animations/simple_animations.dart';
import 'package:supercharged/supercharged.dart';

// define animated properties
enum AniProps { width, height, color }

// design tween by composing scenes
final tween = TimelineTween<AniProps>()
  ..addScene(begin: 0.milliseconds, duration: 500.milliseconds)
      .animate(AniProps.width, tween: 0.0.tweenTo(400.0))
      .animate(AniProps.height, tween: 500.0.tweenTo(200.0))
      .animate(AniProps.color, tween: Colors.red.tweenTo(Colors.yellow))
  ..addScene(begin: 700.milliseconds, end: 1200.milliseconds)
      .animate(AniProps.width, tween: 400.0.tweenTo(500.0));

Note: We use supercharged extensions here. If you don't like it, refer to this dependency-less example.

🎥 Anicoto

Anicoto fully manages your AnimationController instances and handles initialization, configuration and disposing. No more boilerplate code.

Example: Animated stateful widget with full-fledged AnimationController instance.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:simple_animations/simple_animations.dart';
import 'package:supercharged/supercharged.dart';

class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

// add AnimationMixin to widget's state
class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> with AnimationMixin {
  // declare animation variable
  late Animation<double> size;

  @override
  void initState() {
    // connect tween and controller and apply to animation variable
    size = 0.0.tweenTo(200.0).animatedBy(controller);

    controller.play(); // start the animation playback

    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      width: size.value, // use animation variable's value
      height: size.value, // use animation variable's value
      color: Colors.red,
    );
  }
}
