custom_tabbarview

This package is almost identical to the TabBarView API in the Flutter SDK, but with enhanced customization capabilities.

Presets

fade	stack	carousel
toss1	toss2

Features

1. It's a direct clone of TabBarView from the Flutter SDK, so more than 95% of the codebase is identical and reliable.
2. The widgets in children(tabs) are all built lazily, with keepAlive behavior as needed.
3. Transition animations are 100% customizable based on transition rate.
4. There are plenty of presets to get you started quickly, and hints for customization.

Migration guide

from TabBarView to CustomTabBarView

If you were previously using TabBarView, you can follow these steps to migrate.

1. Change from TabBarView to CustomTabBarView.

If you want to use the main feature -- .builder in addition, you can follow the steps below.

2. Rename chindren to tabs.
3. Implement builder type of CustomTabBarViewBuilder or just use other named constructor.

from v0.x to v1.x

If you were previously using CustomTabBarView.builder, you can follow these steps to migrate.

1. Change from builder constructor to custom.
2. Change from builder parameter to builderDelegate and put previous builder function into builderDelegate class.

// AS-IS
CustomTabBarView.builder(
  controller: controller,
  tabs: tabs,
  builder: (context, pageController, childrenWithKey, index) {
    return childrenWithKey[index];
  }
)
// TO-BE
CustomTabBarView.custom(
  controller: controller,
  tabs: tabs,
  builderDelegate: CustomTabBarViewCustomBuilderDelegate(
    (context, pageController, childrenWithKey, index) {
      return childrenWithKey[index];
    },
  ),
)

Types (new API)

CustomTabBarViewBuilder

The type of builder method used globally in CustomTabBarView.

It returns a Widget and takes the following arguments:

• context: BuildContext for the widget.
• offset: The offset value for each widget in the TabBarView. 1: left / 0: center / -1: right
• widget: Each child widget of tabs.

CustomTabBarViewCustomBuilder

The type of custom builder method used globally in CustomTabBarView.

It returns a Widget and takes the following arguments:

• context: BuildContext for the widget.
• pageController: A PageController for PageView that internally implements TabBarView.
• childrenWithKey: The children or tabs passed in.
  However, the implementation of TabBarView temporarily changes the order of the child widgets on transition.
• index: The index of the widget currently being displayed in the TabBarView.

Important

You can get the child that match the TabController with childrenWithKey[index].

Example

Except for the default constructor, the code snippet below performs the same behavior.

default constructor

CustomTabBarView(
  controller: _tabController,
  children: _children,
)

builder

CustomTabBarView.builder(
  controller: _tabController,
  tabs: _children,
  builder: (context, offset, child) {
    final dx = offset * width * 0.8;
    final scale = 1 - offset.abs() * 0.1;
    final opacity = 1 - offset.abs() * 2;

    return Opacity(
      opacity: opacity.clamp(0.0, 1.0),
      child: Transform.scale(
        scale: scale,
        child: Transform.translate(offset: Offset(dx, 0), child: child),
      ),
    );
  },
)

custom 1

CustomTabBarView.custom(
  controller: _tabController,
  physics: const PageScrollPhysics(),
  dragStartBehavior: DragStartBehavior.down,
  tabs: _children,
  builderDelegate: CustomTabBarViewBuilderDelegate(
    (context, offset, child) {
      final dx = offset * width * 0.8;
      final scale = 1 - offset.abs() * 0.1;
      final opacity = 1 - offset.abs() * 2;

      return Opacity(
        opacity: opacity.clamp(0.0, 1.0),
        child: Transform.scale(
          scale: scale,
          child: Transform.translate(offset: Offset(dx, 0), child: child),
        ),
      );
    },
  ),
)

custom 2

CustomTabBarView.custom(
  controller: _tabController,
  tabs: _children,
  builderDelegate: CustomTabBarViewCustomBuilderDelegate(
    (context, pageController, childrenWithKey, index) {
      return AnimatedBuilder(
        animation: pageController,
        builder: (context, child) {
          final page = pageController.page ??
              pageController.initialPage.toDouble();
          final offset = (page - index) * pageController.viewportFraction;

          final dx = offset * width * 0.8;
          final scale = 1 - offset.abs() * 0.1;
          final opacity = 1 - offset.abs() * 2;

          return Opacity(
            opacity: opacity.clamp(0.0, 1.0),
            child: Transform.scale(
              scale: scale,
              child: Transform.translate(
                  offset: Offset(dx, 0), child: child),
            ),
          );
        },
        child: childrenWithKey[index],
      );
    },
  ),
)

preset

 CustomTabBarView.carousel(
  controller: _tabController,
  physics: const PageScrollPhysics(),
  dragStartBehavior: DragStartBehavior.down,
  tabs: _children,
)
