Installation

With null-safety

      dependencies:
        uiblock: ^2.0.1

Without null-safety

      dependencies:
        uiblock: 1.2.0

Getting Started

Add the dependency to your project and start using uiblock everywhere:

Import the package.

import 'package:uiblock/uiblock.dart';

To block ui

 // default
 UIBlock.block(context);
 
 //OR

 // if using globalKey
 UIBlock.block(_scaffoldGlobalKey.currentContext);

To unblock ui

 // call unblock after blockui to dissmiss
 UIBlock.unblock(context);

 //OR

 // if using globalKey
 UIBlock.unblock(_scaffoldGlobalKey.currentContext);

Using as a widget

//toggle showLoader to block/unblock
FlatButton(
    child: Text('Load Async'),
    onPressed: () {
        setState(() {
            showLoader = !showLoader;
        });
    },
),

 // easily create custom block ui body
 Container(
    height: _height,
    child: UIBlock(
        loadingStateFromFuture: () async {
        if (showLoader) {
            // return null, to block ui
            return null;
        }
        // unblocks ui on hasData or hasError
        return Future.value(Random().nextInt(200));
        },
        barrierColor: Colors.blueGrey,
        barrierOpacity: 0.2,
        loadingTextWidget: Text('Loading data...'),
        hideBuilderOnNullData: true,
        builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<dynamic> snapshot) {
            return Center(child: Text('Async Data ${snapshot.data}'));
        },
    ),
 );

Blocking with text

UIBlock.block(
    _scaffoldGlobalKey.currentContext,
    canDissmissOnBack: true,
    loadingTextWidget: Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
        child: Text(
        'Press back to dissmiss',
        textAlign: TextAlign.center,
        style: TextStyle(
            color: Colors.white,
            fontSize: 18.0,
            fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
        ),
        ),
    ),
);

Creating using child builder

 // easily create custom block ui body
 UIBlock.block(
     _scaffoldGlobalKey.currentContext,
    backgroundColor: Colors.green.withOpacity(0.5),
    imageFilter: ImageFilter.blur(sigmaX: 5.0, sigmaY: 5.0),
    childBuilder: (BuildContext context) {
        // return your widget here
    },
 );

 // Don't forget to call unblock after block :)

Creating custom block modal transitions (only applicable on static UIBlock.block)

// NOTE : only for on UIBlock.block as this uses Modal Barrier
// widget block is inline widget replacement with loader widget

UIBlock.block(
    //...
    // more code
    customBuildBlockModalTransitions:
        (context, animation, secondaryAnimation, child) {
        return RotationTransition(
            turns: animation,
            child: child,
        );
    },
    // ...
);

Using with data return

// NOTE : canDissmissOnBack is alaways true
 var result = await UIBlock.blockWithData(
           _scaffoldGlobalKey.currentContext,
           loadingTextWidget: Padding(
               padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
               child: FlatButton(
               onPressed: () {
                   // unblock and return data
                   UIBlock.unblockWithData(context, "hello world");
               },
               child: Text(
                       'Press here to dissmiss with data. Back for null',
                       textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                       style: TextStyle(
                       color: Colors.white,
                       fontSize: 18.0,
                       fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
                       ),
                   ),
               ),
           ),
       );

   print(result);
