Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

flutter_slidable is a Flutter package that enables interactive list items with swipeable actions, allowing users to reveal action buttons by swiping left or right. It supports both directional sliding and dismissal gestures, making it ideal for implementing features like delete, archive, or mark as read in lists. The package integrates smoothly with ListView and other scrollable widgets, offering customizable animations and layouts. It works across all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Use cases

  • Implementing swipe-to-delete in task lists
  • Adding contextual actions to contacts or messages
  • Creating interactive to-do item interfaces
  • Enabling quick actions in a feed or inbox
  • Supporting dismissible notifications
  • Building responsive list item interactions

Key features

  • Swipe-left/right to reveal actions
  • Built-in dismissal gesture support
  • Customizable action buttons
  • Smooth animations on slide
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Flexible layout configuration

Suitable for

  • Developers building interactive lists
  • Apps requiring swipe-based user actions
  • Projects with dynamic list item behaviors
  • Teams prioritizing consistent UX across platforms
  • Users seeking lightweight, well-maintained packages

Considerations

  • May require careful handling of touch events in nested scroll views
  • Action button positioning should be tested on different screen sizes
  • Performance impact on large lists without optimization
  • Limited built-in theming options beyond basic styling
  • Not designed for complex drag-and-drop interactions

Getting started

Example:

Slidable(
  // Specify a key if the Slidable is dismissible.
  key: const ValueKey(0),

  // The start action pane is the one at the left or the top side.
  startActionPane: ActionPane(
    // A motion is a widget used to control how the pane animates.
    motion: const ScrollMotion(),

    // A pane can dismiss the Slidable.
    dismissible: DismissiblePane(onDismissed: () {}),

    // All actions are defined in the children parameter.
    children: const [
      // A SlidableAction can have an icon and/or a label.
      SlidableAction(
        onPressed: doNothing,
        backgroundColor: Color(0xFFFE4A49),
        foregroundColor: Colors.white,
        icon: Icons.delete,
        label: 'Delete',
      ),
      SlidableAction(
        onPressed: doNothing,
        backgroundColor: Color(0xFF21B7CA),
        foregroundColor: Colors.white,
        icon: Icons.share,
        label: 'Share',
      ),
    ],
  ),

  // The end action pane is the one at the right or the bottom side.
  endActionPane: const ActionPane(
    motion: ScrollMotion(),
    children: [
      SlidableAction(
        // An action can be bigger than the others.
        flex: 2,
        onPressed: doNothing,
        backgroundColor: Color(0xFF7BC043),
        foregroundColor: Colors.white,
        icon: Icons.archive,
        label: 'Archive',
      ),
      SlidableAction(
        onPressed: doNothing,
        backgroundColor: Color(0xFF0392CF),
        foregroundColor: Colors.white,
        icon: Icons.save,
        label: 'Save',
      ),
    ],
  ),

  // The child of the Slidable is what the user sees when the
  // component is not dragged.
  child: const ListTile(title: Text('Slide me')),
),

);

  // OR
  //controller.openStartActionPane();
}

void _handleOpen() {
  controller.close();
}
