Overview
The scroll_bottom_navigation_bar package enables dynamic control of the bottom navigation bar's visibility during scrolling. It automatically hides the navigation bar when scrolling down and reveals it when scrolling up, enhancing screen space utilization in mobile and web applications. Ideal for immersive interfaces where content takes priority over navigation elements. The package supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring consistent behavior across devices. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s ScrollController and works well within Scaffold-based layouts.
