Usage

You can easily lock the screen with the following code.
To unlock, enter correctString.

Simple

If you give the same input as correctString, it will automatically close the screen.

import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';

screenLock(
  context: context,
  correctString: '1234',
);
Block user

Provides a screen lock that cannot be cancelled.

import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';

screenLock(
  context: context,
  correctString: '1234',
  canCancel: false,
);
Passcode creation

You can have users create a new passcode with confirmation

import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';

screenLockCreate(
  context: context,
  onConfirmed: (value) => print(value), // store new passcode somewhere here
);
Control the creation state
import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';

final inputController = InputController();

screenLockCreate(
  context: context,
  inputController: inputController,
);

// Somewhere else...
inputController.unsetConfirmed(); // reset first and confirm input
Use local_auth

Add the local_auth package to pubspec.yml.

It includes an example that calls biometrics as soon as screenLock is displayed in didOpened.

import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';
import 'package:local_auth/local_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

Future<void> localAuth(BuildContext context) async {
  final localAuth = LocalAuthentication();
  final didAuthenticate = await localAuth.authenticateWithBiometrics(
      localizedReason: 'Please authenticate');
  if (didAuthenticate) {
    Navigator.pop(context);
  }
}

screenLock(
  context: context,
  correctString: '1234',
  customizedButtonChild: Icon(Icons.fingerprint),
  customizedButtonTap: () async => await localAuth(context),
  didOpened: () async => await localAuth(context),
);
Fully customize

You can customize every aspect of the screenlock. Here is an example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_screen_lock/flutter_screen_lock.dart';

screenLockCreate(
  context: context,
  title: const Text('change title'),
  confirmTitle: const Text('change confirm title'),
  onConfirmed: (value) => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
  config: const ScreenLockConfig(
    backgroundColor: Colors.deepOrange,
  ),
  secretsConfig: SecretsConfig(
    spacing: 15, // or spacingRatio
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(40),
    secretConfig: SecretConfig(
      borderColor: Colors.amber,
      borderSize: 2.0,
      disabledColor: Colors.black,
      enabledColor: Colors.amber,
      height: 15,
      width: 15,
      build: (context,
              {required config, required enabled}) =>
          Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          shape: BoxShape.rectangle,
          color: enabled
              ? config.enabledColor
              : config.disabledColor,
          border: Border.all(
            width: config.borderSize,
            color: config.borderColor,
          ),
        ),
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
        width: config.width,
        height: config.height,
      ),
    ),
  ),
  keyPadConfig: KeyPadConfig(
    buttonConfig: StyledInputConfig(
      textStyle:
          StyledInputConfig.getDefaultTextStyle(context)
              .copyWith(
        color: Colors.orange,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      ),
      buttonStyle: OutlinedButton.styleFrom(
        shape: const RoundedRectangleBorder(),
        backgroundColor: Colors.deepOrange,
      ),
    ),
    displayStrings: [
      '零',
      '壱',
      '弐',
      '参',
      '肆',
      '伍',
      '陸',
      '質',
      '捌',
      '玖'
    ],
  ),
  cancelButton: const Icon(Icons.close),
  deleteButton: const Icon(Icons.delete),
);
