ARCHIVE NOTE: Backdrop was based on the Material 2 Backdrop specification, which is no longer actively maintained. Material 3 does not include a Backdrop specification. As a result, this package is no longer actively developed and is limited to maintenance and critical fixes.

This widget is in active development. Any contribution, idea, criticism or feedback is welcomed.

Usage

BackdropScaffold

Use BackdropScaffold instead of the standard Scaffold in your app. A backLayer and a frontLayer have to be defined for the backdrop to work.

BackdropScaffold(
  appBar: BackdropAppBar(
    title: Text("Backdrop Example"),
    actions: <Widget>[
      BackdropToggleButton(
        icon: AnimatedIcons.list_view,
      )
    ],
  ),
  backLayer: Center(
    child: Text("Back Layer"),
  ),
  frontLayer: Center(
    child: Text("Front Layer"),
  ),
)

Navigation with backdrop

To use backdrop for navigation, use the provided BackdropNavigationBackLayer as backLayer.

The BackdropNavigationBackLayer contains a property items representing the list elements shown on the back layer. The front layer has to be "manually" set depending on the current index, which can be accessed with the onTap callback.

int _currentIndex = 0;
final List<Widget> _pages = [Widget1(), Widget2()];

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return MaterialApp(
    title: 'Backdrop Demo',
    home: BackdropScaffold(
      appBar: BackdropAppBar(
        title: Text("Navigation Example"),
        actions: <Widget>[
          BackdropToggleButton(
            icon: AnimatedIcons.list_view,
          )
        ],
      ),
      stickyFrontLayer: true,
      frontLayer: _pages[_currentIndex],
      backLayer: BackdropNavigationBackLayer(
        items: [
          ListTile(title: Text("Widget 1")),
          ListTile(title: Text("Widget 2")),
        ],
        onTap: (int position) => {setState(() => _currentIndex = position)},
      ),
    ),
  );
}

Accessing underlying backdrop functionalities

To access backdrop related functionalities, use Backdrop.of(context) to get underlying BackdropScaffoldState.

BackdropScaffoldState exposes various properties and methods like:

• properties
  • animationController -> AnimationController
  • scaffoldKey -> GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>
  • isBackLayerConcealed -> bool
  • isBackLayerRevealed -> bool
• methods
  • fling()
  • concealBackLayer()
  • revealBackLayer()

Note: Backdrop is an InheritedWidget and therefore like Scaffold.of, Theme.of and MediaQuery.of, the BuildContext context passed to Backdrop.of(context) should be of a Widget that is under the BackdropScaffold in the "widget tree". In other words, Backdrop.of called inside a widget where the BackdropScaffold is initalized will not work explicitly, since the context passed is of the widget that will build BackdropScaffold therefore above BackdropScaffold. This can be solved by either making a seperate Widget where Backdrop.of needs to be used and make it the "child" of BackdropScaffold or wrap the Backdrop.of usage around Builder widget so that the "correct" context (from Builder) is passed to Backdrop.of. This answere on SO and FWotW video on Builder gives a very good idea of how and why Builder works in later case.
