Package Overview

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

MediaQueryPreview is a development tool that allows real-time UI previews across different devices, screen sizes, brightness levels, and text scaling. It helps developers visualize how their app will appear on various configurations without deploying to physical devices. The package supports custom device definitions and is designed exclusively for development workflows, not production use. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter's MediaQuery, enabling quick iteration during design and testing phases.

Use cases

  • Testing responsive layouts
  • Simulating different device screens
  • Adjusting for accessibility settings
  • Validating UI behavior under various conditions
  • Streamlining UI development workflow

Key features

  • Supports custom device configurations
  • Real-time preview of screen size changes
  • Adjustable brightness and text scale
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Easy integration with existing Flutter projects

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers in design phase
  • Teams focusing on responsive UI
  • Accessibility testing
  • Rapid prototyping

Considerations

  • Not intended for production use
  • Requires manual setup for custom devices
  • Limited to development environment
  • May impact performance during heavy use
  • Does not replace actual device testing

Have you ever experienced your UI breaking when the font size is too large or the screen size of the device is small? Checking for these issues can be a hassle.

This package allows you to preview how your implemented UI will appear on various devices with different screen sizes, text scales, and brightness.

It was inspired by device_preview.

Media Query Preview

Features

This package provides the following features:

  • Preview your UI on various devices with different screen sizes, text scales, and brightness.
  • In addition to pre-defined devices like PreviewDevice.iPhone5_5inch and PreviewDevice.android6_7inch, you can create custom PreviewDevice instances.
  • Preview your UI when the keyboard is displayed.
  • Manipulate each preview individually.
  • Friendly with riverpod.

Demo

Usage

If you are using riverpod, you can do the following.

// Initialize Provider
final container = ProviderContainer();

final previewDevices = [
  [
    PreviewDevice.iPhone5_5inch(
      textScaleFactor: 0.5,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone5_5inch(),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone5_5inch(
      brightness: Brightness.dark,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone5_5inch(
      textScaleFactor: 1.5,
    ),
  ],
  [
    PreviewDevice.iPhone6_7inch(
      textScaleFactor: 0.5,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone6_7inch(),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone6_7inch(
      brightness: Brightness.dark,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.iPhone6_7inch(
      textScaleFactor: 1.5,
    ),
  ],
  [
    PreviewDevice.android6_7inch(
      textScaleFactor: 0.5,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.android6_7inch(),
    PreviewDevice.android6_7inch(
      brightness: Brightness.dark,
    ),
    PreviewDevice.android6_7inch(
      textScaleFactor: 1.5,
    ),
  ]
];

runApp(
  MediaQueryPreview(
    previewDevices: previewDevices,
    builder: (_, previewDevice) {
      // If you want to change the theme based on the targetPlatform,
      // you can get the targetPlatform from [previewDevice.targetPlatform].
      return UncontrolledProviderScope(
        container: container,
        child: const MyApp(),
      );
    },
  ),
);

If you are not using riverpod, it is even simpler.

runApp(
  MediaQueryPreview(
    previewDevices: previewDevices,
    builder: (_, previewDevice) {
      // If you want to change the theme based on the targetPlatform,
      // you can get the targetPlatform from [previewDevice.targetPlatform].
      return const MyApp();
    },
  ),
);

Attention

  • It is recommended to use this package only development. Please do not use it in production.
  • This package allows you to display multiple instances of the Widget you implemented at the same time, which may lead to poor performance or issues with state management.
  • If you manage GlobalKey with global variables, they will be shared across each preview, which can lead to errors or unintended behavior. Since the widget trees of each preview are independent, it is recommended to generate a separate GlobalKey for each tree.

Future

If you have Apple Vision Pro, you can use it as a "Designed for iPad" app. This is the future!
