Overview
Flutter Inner Drawer is a lightweight package that enables developers to implement an internal side drawer (left or right) within a Flutter app. It provides a simple and customizable way to add navigation menus or additional content areas without disrupting the main UI flow. The drawer slides in from the edge of the screen, offering a clean and modern user experience. It supports both horizontal and vertical gestures for opening and closing, and integrates seamlessly with existing widgets. Ideal for apps needing a compact, accessible navigation panel.
