smooth_sheets

smooth_sheets

smooth_sheets offers modal and persistent sheet widgets for Flutter apps. The key features are:

• Smooth motion: The sheets respond to user interaction with smooth, graceful motion.
• Highly flexible: Not restricted to a specific design. Both modal and persistent styles are supported, as well as scrollable and non-scrollable widgets.
• Supports nested navigation: A sheet is able to have multiple pages and to navigate between the pages with motion animation for transitions.
• Works with imperative & declarative Navigator API: No special navigation mechanism is required. The traditional ways such as Navigator.push is supported and it works with Navigator 2.0 packages like go_router as well.
• iOS flavor: The modal sheets in the style of iOS 15 are supported.

Why use this?

There are few packages on pub.dev that supports nested navigation with motion animation for page transitions. One of the great choices for this usecase is wolt_modal_sheet, which this package is inspired by. Although smooth_sheet has similar features with wolt_modal_sheet, it is not intended to be a replacement of that package. Here is some differences between those 2 packages:

	wolt_modal_sheet	smooth_sheets
Design	Based on Wolt's design guideline	Not restricted to a specific design, fully customizable
Navigation mechanism	Manage the page index in ValueNotifier	Works with built-in Navigator API (both of imperative and declarative)
Scrollable content	Supported	Supported
Persistent sheets	Not supported	Supported
Screen size adaptation	The sheet appears as a dialog on large screens	Not supported

Usage

Several resources are available for learning the functionalities of this package.

SheetOffset

SheetOffset represents a position of the sheet within the SheetViewport where the sheet is rendered. It's used in various situations, e.g., specifing the initial position of the sheet or defining a set of positions to which the sheet should snap.

Sheet

The basic sheet widget that can be dragged and scrollled. It can also size itself based on its content or stretched to fill available space.

See also:

• basic_sheet.dart for basic usage.
• scrollable_sheet.dart for usage with scrollable content.
• decorations.dart for styling examples.

PagedSheet

`PagedSheet` manages a stack of pages within a single sheet, enabling navigation between them with transitions. It works seamlessly with Flutter's Navigator API, both imperative (`Navigator.push`) and declarative (go_router, auto_route, etc...). Each page is defined using `PagedSheetPage`, which can have its own specific configuration like `initialOffset`, `snapGrid`, or `scrollConfiguration`. Transitions between pages default to the application's theme but can be customized per-page.

That navigation is built on navigator_resizable. Use that package directly if you want the same paged or dialog navigation without a sheet.

• declarative_paged_sheet.dart, tutorial using go_router.
• imperative_paged_sheet.dart, tutorial using imperative Navigator API.
• paged_sheet_with_auto_route.dart, tutorial using auto_route.
• navigator_resizable, the navigator wrapper this package is based on.

Modal Sheets

A sheet can be displayed as a modal sheet using ModalSheetRoute for imperative navigation, or ModalSheetPage for declarative navigation.

Furthermore, the modal sheets in the style of iOS 15 are also supported. For imperative navigation, use CupertinoModalSheetRoute, and for declarative navigation, use CupertinoModalSheetPage, respectively.

• SwipeDismissSensitivity, which can be used to tweak the sensitivity of the swipe-to-dismiss action.
• declarative_modal_sheet.dart, a tutorial of integration with declarative navigation using go_router package.
• imperative_modal_sheet.dart, a tutorial of integration with imperative Navigator API.
• cupertino_modal_sheet.dart, a tutorial of iOS style modal sheets.
• ios_style_declarative_modal_paged_sheet.dart, an example of iOS-style modal PagedSheet with go_router.
• showcase/todo_list, which uses SheetDismissible to show a confirmation dialog when the user tries to discard the todo editing sheet without saving the content.

SheetPhysics

A physics determines how the sheet will behave when over-dragged or under-dragged, or when the user stops dragging. This is independent of the snapping behavior, which is configured via SheetSnapGrid. There are 2 predefined physics:

See also:

• physics_and_snap_grid.dart for basic usage.

SheetSnapGrid

Determines how the sheet snaps to certain offsets when the user stops dragging or when an animation completes.

There are several predefined snap grid types:

See also:

• physics_and_snap_grid.dart for basic usage.

SheetController

Like ScrollController for scrollable widget, the SheetController can be used to animate or observe the offset (position) of a sheet.

See also:

• sheet_controller.dart for basic usage.

SheetContentScaffold

Simillar to the Scaffold, it offers the slots for a topBar (like AppBar) and a bottomBar (like BottomNavigationBar).

See also:

• SheetContentScaffold, the API documentation.
• BottomBarVisibility, which controls the visibility of the bottom bar based on sheet metrics (including offset).
• tutorial/sheet_content_scaffold.dart, which shows the basic usage of SheetContentScaffold.
• tutorial/bottom_bar_visibility.dart, which shows the basic usage of the bottomBarVisibility property.

SheetOffsetDrivenAnimation

Formerly SheetPositionDrivenAnimation, this allows creating animations driven by the sheet's offset. It's a special kind of Animation whose value changes (typically from 0 to 1) as the sheet's offset moves between specified startOffset and endOffset values (defined using SheetOffset). This is useful for synchronizing UI changes (like fades, slides, or color changes) with the sheet's movement.

See also:

• sheet_offset_driven_animation.dart for basic usage.
• airbnb_mobile_app.dart, which shows how SheetOffsetDrivenAnimation can be used to hide/show UI elements based on the sheet's drag position.

SheetNotification

A sheet dispatches a SheetNotification when its offset changes. This can be used to observe the offset and other metrics (like min/max offset, viewport size) of a descendant sheet from an ancestor widget using a NotificationListener.

NotificationListener<SheetNotification>(
  onNotification: (notification) {
    // Access sheet metrics via notification.metrics (e.g., offset, minOffset, maxOffset)
    debugPrint('Current offset: ${notification.metrics.offset}');
    return false; // Return true to stop the notification from bubbling up
  },
  child: SheetViewport( // Required for non-modal sheets
    child: Sheet(
      // ... sheet configuration
    ),
  ),
),

See also:

• SheetDragUpdateNotification, which is dispatched when the sheet is dragged by the user.
• SheetUpdateNotification, which is dispatched when the sheet offset is updated by other means (e.g., animation, controller).
• SheetOverflowNotification, which is dispatched when the user tries to drag the sheet beyond its draggable bounds but the sheet has not changed its offset because its SheetPhysics does not allow it to be.
• NotificationListener, which can be used to listen for the notifications in a subtree.

SheetKeyboardDismissBehavior

SheetKeyboardDismissBehavior determines when the sheet should dismiss the on-screen keyboard when dragged. This feature is similar to ScrollViewKeyboardDismissBehavior for scrollable widgets. This behavior is configured via the Sheet.keyboardDismissBehavior property.

Although it is easy to create custom behaviors by implementing the SheetKeyboardDismissBehavior interface, there are predefined behaviors available as static constants for convenience:

See also:

• tutorial/keyboard_dismiss_behavior.dart for basic usage.
