Overview
AnyDrawer is a flexible Flutter package that enables drawers to slide in from any screen edge—left, right, top, or bottom—without requiring a Scaffold. It supports advanced features like backdrop blur effects, drag gestures, swipe-from-edge activation, and return values when closing. The package offers a declarative API for easy integration and allows multiple drawers simultaneously. Ideal for custom navigation layouts across mobile, web, and desktop platforms.
