tweet_ui 0.1.0+2

Flutter Tweet UI

tweet_ui

Flutter Tweet UI - Flutter package that is inspired from twitter-kit-android.

Works on iOS and Android.

Getting Started

To use this package add it to the pubspec.yaml file:

tweet_ui: <latest_version>

import it:

import 'package:tweet_ui/tweet_ui.dart';

and create a TweetView from a JSON:

TweetView.fromTweet(
    Tweet.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"created_at": "Mon Nov 12 13:00:38 +0000 2018", "id": 1061967001177018368, ...
    )
);

or a CompactTweetView

CompactTweetView.fromTweet(
    Tweet.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"created_at": "Mon Nov 12 13:00:38 +0000 2018", "id": 1061967001177018368, ...
    )
);

There is also a special QuoteTweetView that is embedded in a TweetView or a CompactTweetView. This depends if a Tweet has a quoted_status value in the JSON.

Example of supported view and media types:

Sample tweets use real life tweet ids but for example purposes their content was changed.

Variant	Standard tweet	Compact tweet	Standard Quote tweet	Compact Quote tweet
1 photo
2 photos
3 photos
4 photos
video*
GIF

*If you want to show tweets with videos, please check the video_player installation.

Styling Tweets

By default the chewie/video_player package is used to show a gif/video, but you can set the useVideoPlayer flag to false if you want to show a image placeholder provided by the Twitter API and open a video in a new page.

Variant	With video_player/chewie	With placeholder
Standard Video
Compact Video
Standard GIF
Compact GIF

All texts are customizable. You can copy from the defaultxxx, defaultCompactxxx and defaultQuotexxxstyles like in the example below.

      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),

          snapshot.data,
        ),
        useVideoPlayer: false,
        userNameStyle: defaultUserNameStyle.copyWith(fontWeight: FontWeight.w200),
