Drawer Behavior - Flutter

Drawer Behavior is a Flutter library that provides advanced effects and behaviors for the side navigation drawer. Unlike the standard Flutter drawer, this package allows you to create immersive interactions such as moving the view, scaling the view's height, or adding 3D effects while the drawer slides.

✨ Features

• Scale Effect: smoothly scales down the main content as the drawer opens.

• 3D Effect: Adds a rotation depth effect to the main content.

• Multi-Directional: Supports both Left and Right side drawers.

• Peek Drawer: Keep a portion of the drawer visible even when closed.

• Customization: Full control over headers, footers, item builders, and animations.

• Null-Safety: Fully supports Dart null-safety.

📦 Installation

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  drawerbehavior: ^3.0.0 # Check pub.dev for the latest version

Install it via command line:

flutter pub get

🚀 Usage

1. Import the package

import 'package:drawerbehavior/drawerbehavior.dart';

2. Basic Implementation

Replace your standard Scaffold with DrawerScaffold. Define your drawers using SideDrawer and your main content using the builder.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:drawerbehavior/drawerbehavior.dart';

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int selectedMenuItemId = 0;

  // Define your menu items
  final Menu menu = Menu(
    items: [
      MenuItem(id: 0, title: 'Home', icon: Icons.home),
      MenuItem(id: 1, title: 'Profile', icon: Icons.person),
      MenuItem(id: 2, title: 'Settings', icon: Icons.settings),
    ],
  );

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DrawerScaffold(
      // App Bar handles the menu button automatically
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Drawer Behavior"),
      ),
      
      // Define the drawer(s)
      drawers: [
        SideDrawer(
          percentage: 0.6, // Scale the main view down to 60%
          menu: menu,
          direction: Direction.left,
          animation: true,
          color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
          selectedItemId: selectedMenuItemId,
          onMenuItemSelected: (itemId) {
            setState(() {
              selectedMenuItemId = itemId;
            });
          },
        )
      ],
      
      // Build the main screen content based on selection
      builder: (context, id) => IndexedStack(
        index: selectedMenuItemId,
        children: [
          Center(child: Text("Home Page")),
          Center(child: Text("Profile Page")),
          Center(child: Text("Settings Page")),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

🔄 Migration Guide

If you are upgrading from older versions, please note the following breaking changes:

v2.0 to v3.0 (Null-safety & API Cleanup)

1. DrawerScaffold:

   • mainDrawer property is now defaultDirection.

   • percentage property moved inside SideDrawer.

   • contentView is now builder.

2. SideDrawer:

   • menuView is now replaced by the drawers list containing SideDrawer.

Example:

// OLD
DrawerScaffold(
  mainDrawer: Direction.left,
  contentView: Screen(...),
  percentage: 0.6,
  menuView: MenuView(...),
)

// NEW
DrawerScaffold(
  defaultDirection: Direction.left,
  builder: (context, id) => ...,
  drawers: [
    SideDrawer(
      percentage: 0.6,
      ...
    )
  ],
)
