Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

A Flutter package that enables the creation of an animated Floating Action Button (FAB) with a scrollable menu. It enhances user interaction by smoothly expanding the FAB into a customizable menu, ideal for apps needing intuitive access to multiple actions. The menu supports scrolling, making it suitable for lists of options that exceed screen space. Designed for modern UIs, it integrates seamlessly across platforms with consistent behavior.

Considerations

  • May require additional styling for customization

Animated FAB Menu

Animated FAB Menu package lets you add an animated floating action button to your Flutter app that open a list of menu items.

Features

The FabMenu widget is built to be placed in the Scaffold.floatingActionButton argument, replacing the FloatingActionButton widget. Its position is set by the fabAlignment property so you don't need to set it with the Scaffold.floatingActionButtonLocation argument. By default the position is set to bottomCenter, but you can change it by the fabAlignment property to place the button anywhere in the screen. By using the fabIcon and fabBackgroundColorproperties, you can change the icon and the color of the button to whatever you like.

  • Menu

By pressing the floating action button, a page containing a menu list will be opening with some cool animation. This menu contains items that you can specify by the children list property. Every child inside the list takes a title for the item name, style for the text widget of the name, onTap function to provide the logic of the on tap action on each child. On top of that, you have an overlayColor property to change the color of the background opened page, overlayOpacity to change the opacity of the background color and closeMenuButton to choose your own back button widget.

The package will handle the animation by itself.
