Usage

To use package, just import package import 'package:wheel_picker/wheel_picker.dart';

Example

Here's a quick example to get you started:

const daysOfWeek = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'];
return WheelPicker(
  itemCount: 7,
  builder: (context, index) => Text(daysOfWeek[index]),
  selectedIndexColor: Colors.orange,
  looping: false,
);
Basic (Left Gif)

For more control, you can attach a controller and adjust it to your liking:

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:wheel_picker/wheel_picker.dart';

class WheelPickerExample extends StatelessWidget {
  const WheelPickerExample({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final secondsWheel = WheelPickerController(itemCount: 10);
    const textStyle = TextStyle(fontSize: 32.0, height: 1.5);

    Timer.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 1), (_) => secondsWheel.shiftDown());

    return WheelPicker(
      builder: (context, index) => Text("$index", style: textStyle),
      controller: secondsWheel,
      selectedIndexColor: Colors.blue,
      onIndexChanged: (index, interactionType) => print("On index $index"),
      style: WheelPickerStyle(
        itemExtent: textStyle.fontSize! * textStyle.height!, // Text height
        squeeze: 1.25,
        diameterRatio: .8,
        surroundingOpacity: .25,
        magnification: 1.2,
      ),
    );
  }
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Example',
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: WheelPickerExample(),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

Note: This works for this short example but don't forget to manually dispose controllers you initialize youself.

Advanced (Right Gif)

For more advanced usage, you can also mount controllers, making them shift each other. See example.

Example: Listening for the scroll end event
const daysOfWeek = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'];

return NotificationListener(
  onNotification: (notification) {
    if (notification is ScrollEndNotification) {
      print('User has ended scrolling');
    }
    return false;
  },
  child: WheelPicker(
    itemCount: 7,
    builder: (context, index) => Text(daysOfWeek[index]),
    selectedIndexColor: Colors.orange,
    looping: false,
  ),
);
