Installation

Add

sleek_circular_slider : ^lastest_version

to your pubspec.yaml, and run

flutter packages get

in your project's root directory.

Basic Usage

Import it to your project file

import 'package:sleek_circular_slider/sleek_circular_slider.dart';

And add it in its most basic form like it:

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
                      appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(),
                      onChange: (double value) {
                        print(value);
                      });

There are additional optional parameters one can initialize the slider with.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  min: 0,
  max: 1000,
  initialValue: 426,
  onChange: (double value) {
    // callback providing a value while its being changed (with a pan gesture)
  },
  onChangeStart: (double startValue) {
    // callback providing a starting value (when a pan gesture starts)
  },
  onChangeEnd: (double endValue) {
    // ucallback providing an ending value (when a pan gesture ends)
  },
  innerWidget: (double value) {
    // use your custom widget inside the slider (gets a slider value from the callback)
  },
);

Use as a progress bar

Slider user's interaction will be disabled if there is either no [onChange] or [onChangeEnd] provided. That way one can use the widget not as a slider but as a progress bar.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(
    customWidths: CustomSliderWidths(progressBarWidth: 10)),
  min: 10,
  max: 28,
  initialValue: 14,
);

Use as a spinner

There is one more use case for the library. It's a spinner which can be shown to users while loading etc. In this mode the widget is not interactive and ignores all angles so there is no need to provide them.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(
    spinnerMode: true,
));

CircularSliderAppearance parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
size double	150	The width & height value for the slider.
startAngle double	150	The angle (in degrees) the slider begins with.
angleRange double	240	The angle range (in degrees) the slider reaches when maximum value set.
counterClockwise bool	false	The setting indicating direction of the widget.
customWidths CustomSliderWidths		The object with a set of widths for the track, bar, shadow etc.

infoProperties InfoProperties		The object with a set of properties for internal labels displaying a current slider value.
animationEnabled bool	true	The setting indicating whether external changes of a slider value should be animated.
spinnerMode bool	false	The setting turning the widget into a spinner.
spinnerDuration int	1500	The spinner animation duration in miliseconds
animDurationMultiplier double	1.0	The multiplier of duration for the animation when value changed

CustomSliderWidths parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
trackWidth double	progressBarWidth / 4	The width of the slider's track.
progressBarWidth double	slider's size / 10	The width of the slider's progress bar.
shadowWidth double	progressBarWidth * 1.4	The width of the slider's shadow.
handlerSize double	progressBarWidth / 5	The size of the slider's handler.

CustomSliderColors parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
trackColor Color	#DCBEFB	The color of the slider's track.
trackColors List	null	The list of colors for the track's gradient.

trackGradientEndAngle double	180	The end angle for the track's gradient.
progressBarColor Color		The color of the slider's progress bar. Won't be used if the slider uses gradient progressBarColors != null
progressBarColors List	[#1E003B, #EC008A, #6285DA]	The list of colors for the progress bar's gradient.
gradientStartAngle double	0	The start angle for the progress bar's gradient.

dynamicGradient bool	false	The gradient angles will change dynamically with value changing. If true it will ignore both the grandientStartAngle and gradientEndAngle
dotColor Color	#FFFFFF	The color of the slider's handle.
hideShadow bool	false	The setting indicating whether the shadow should be showed.
shadowColor Color	#2C57C0	The color of the shadow.
shadowMaxOpacity double	0.2	The opacity of the shadow in its darker part.
shadowStep double		The shadow is being painted with a number of steps. This value determines how big is a width of each step. The more steps are painted the softer the shadow is. For a flat shadow use a difference between the shadowWidth and the progressWidth for the shadowStep.

InfoProperties parameters

Parameter	Default	Description

 }

It will convert a current value to int and add the % sufix to it.
