Version Banner

An app Banner Widget that shows the current app version. Can be used with App Flavors to show what flavor of the app is currently being used.

Getting Started

This widget should wrap MaterialApp or CupertinoApp.

VersionBanner(
          text: "Yay!",
          child: MaterialApp(
                       debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
                       title: 'Flutter Demo',
                       theme: ThemeData(
                         primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
                       ),
                       home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
                     )
      );

The following properties can be changed:

• color
• textStyle
• text
• location

This package can also be used with package_info to know what is the current flavour of the app and show/hide the banner accordingly

void main() async {
  var packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
  var packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
  runApp(MyApp(packageName));
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  String packageName;
  
  MyApp(this.packageName);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var materialApp = MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );

    if (packageName.contains("dev") || packageName.contains("alpha")) {
      return VersionBanner(
          text: "Yay!",
          child: materialApp
      );
    }

    return materialApp;
  }
}
