Package Overview

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

SnapList is a lightweight Flutter package that enables smooth snapping behavior for lists, allowing users to scroll through items and automatically snap to the nearest item boundary. It enhances user experience in image galleries or carousel-like interfaces by providing precise alignment and visual feedback during scrolling. Built with simplicity in mind, it integrates seamlessly into existing list structures without requiring complex configurations. Ideal for creating intuitive, touch-friendly list interactions.

Use cases

  • Image carousels
  • Scrollable product grids
  • Interactive sliders
  • Onboarding screens
  • Vertical/horizontal snapping lists

Key features

  • Smooth snapping animation
  • Customizable snap intervals
  • Minimal setup
  • Supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling
  • Built-in alignment options

Suitable for

  • Developers building interactive list UIs
  • Designers focusing on gesture-based navigation
  • Apps with image-heavy content
  • Mobile-first applications with touch input

Considerations

  • Limited to basic snapping logic
  • No built-in pagination indicators
  • Requires manual handling of scroll events
  • Not optimized for very large datasets
  • No support for custom easing curves

Include to your project

In your pubspec.yaml root add:

dependencies:
  snaplist: ^0.1.8

Include

The library does provide StatefulWidget which is called SnapList.

Include the widget like this: import 'package:snaplist/snaplist.dart';

Usage

Use it as you'd use any widget:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return SnapList(
    sizeProvider: (index, data) => Size(100.0, 100.0),
    separatorProvider: (index, data) => Size(10.0, 10.0),
    builder: (context, index, data) => SizedBox(),
    count: 1,
  );
}

Snaplist uses gesture detection for swiping the list, so, please, be sure that the gestures you apply to the widgets inside are not overlapping for best user experience.

Properties

There are 4 required fields:

  • sizeProvider is a provider of each widget size. The library will wrap each built widget to a sized box of specified size. This is required so snapping calculations will work correctly.
  • separatorProvider is similar to sizeProvider, but this size will be used to build the list separators.
  • builder works like a regular Flutter builder all of us are familiar with. It will pass you the context, current item index and some additional data.
  • count - Children count as in a ListView.

The data which is provided to each provider and the builder is a combination of three fields:

  • center - is the position which is now displayed and referenced as the center widget.
  • next - is the position which the user is scrolling to. It is -1 if idle.
  • progress - is the scroll and snip progress. The values are from 0 to 100.

Snaplist defaults to horizontal scrolling. You can set axis to Axis.vertical for vertical scrolling.
