A Tidy Flutter package allows you to Highlight your widgets step by step

Introduction

A package is a namespace that holds a collection of classes, interfaces, and sub-packages that are all of the same kind. Packages might be compared to different folders on our computers, where we might have videos in one, photographs in another, software in yet another, and so on. Dart organizes and shares a set of functionality through packages in Flutter. Flutter always supports shared packages, which are provided to the Flutter and Dart ecosystem by other developers. The packages enable us to create the app without having to start from scratch.

  1. Import the package
import 'package:showcaseview/showcaseview.dart';
  1. Adding a ShowCaseWidget widget.
ShowCaseWidget(
  builder: Builder(
    builder : (context) ()=> Somewidget()
  ),
),
  1. Adding a Showcase widget.
GlobalKey _one = GlobalKey();
GlobalKey _two = GlobalKey();
GlobalKey _three = GlobalKey();

...

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  title: 'Menu',
  description: 'Click here to see menu options',
  child: Icon(
    Icons.menu,
    color: Colors.black45,
  ),
),

Some more optional parameters

Showcase(
  key: _two,
  title: 'Profile',
  description: 'Click here to go to your Profile',
  disableAnimation: true,
  shapeBorder: CircleBorder(),
  radius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(40)),
  showArrow: false,
  overlayPadding: EdgeInsets.all(5),
  slideDuration: Duration(milliseconds: 1500),
  tooltipColor: Colors.blueGrey,
  blurValue: 2,
  child: ...,
),
  1. Using a Showcase.withWidget widget.
Showcase.withWidget(
  key: _three,
  cHeight: 80,
  cWidth: 140,
  shapeBorder: CircleBorder(),
  container: Column(
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
    children: <Widget>[
      ...
    ],
  ),
  child: ...,
),
  1. Starting the ShowCase
someEvent(){
    ShowCaseWidget.of(context).startShowCase([_one, _two, _three]);
}
  1. onFinish method for ShowCase
ShowCaseWidget(
  onFinish: () {
    // Your code goes here
  },
  builder: Builder(
    builder : (context) ()=> Somewidget()
  ),
),

If you want to start the ShowCaseView as soon as your UI built up then use below code.

WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) =>
  ShowCaseWidget.of(context).startShowCase([_one, _two, _three])
);
