Cupertino Interactive Keyboard

A Flutter plugin intended to achieve native iOS interactively dismissible keyboard. It can be used as temporary solution while we are waiting this issue to be resolved by the Flutter team 🙏. On other side, this plugin doesn't rely on questionable keyboard screenshot approach, so it is expected to work more solid.

Getting Started

The CupertinoInteractiveKeyboard defines the area where the draggable keyboard is enabled. Using scrollable widget as its child is optional.

CupertinoInteractiveKeyboard(
  child: ListView.builder(
    ...
  ),
);

In chat-like UI where you have input bar attached to the bottom, you can use the CupertinoInputAccessory widget. It designed to use its child's height as native input accessory view size.

CupertinoInputAccessory(
  child: TextField(
    ...
  ),
);

See the full example of complete implementation.
