Overview
The coordinator_layout package provides a set of widgets and layouts designed to manage collapsing header behavior in Flutter applications. Inspired by Android's CoordinatorLayout, it enables smooth, coordinated scrolling interactions between headers and underlying content. This library is ideal for creating dynamic, responsive UIs where headers collapse or reveal content as users scroll. It supports multiple platforms including mobile, web, and desktop, making it versatile for cross-platform development. The package integrates seamlessly with existing Flutter widgets to deliver native-like scrolling experiences.
