A flutter web plugin for adding a customizable scrollbar to your web project.
To use this plugin add flutter_web_scrollbar
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
Adding the scrollbar to your webpage requires a few mandatory steps:
- The content of your page must be the child of a Scrollable Widget (i.e:
SingleChildScrollView
- The scrollable widget and the FlutterWebScrollbar must be children in a parent
Stack
- The scrollable widget must be listed first in the
Stack
- The scrollable widget must have a
ScrollController
attached to it - The FlutterWebScrollbar must receive a callBack function that accepts a
DragUpdateDetails
as a parameter.
Example
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_web_scrollbar/flutter_web_scrollbar.dart';
class LandingPage extends StatefulWidget {
LandingPage({Key key}) : super(key: key);
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return _LandingPageState();
}
}
class _LandingPageState extends State<LandingPage> {
ScrollController _controller;
@override
void initState() {
//Initialize the scrollController
_controller = ScrollController();
super.initState();
}
void scrollCallBack(DragUpdateDetails dragUpdate) {
setState(() {
// Note: 3.5 represents the theoretical height of all my scrollable content. This number will vary for you.
_controller.position.moveTo(dragUpdate.globalPosition.dy * 3.5);
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
body: Stack(
children: [
Container(
child: SingleChildScrollView(
//Assign the controller to my scrollable widget
controller: _controller,
child: Column(
children: [
Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
color: Colors.black,
),
Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
color: Colors.red,
),
Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
color: Colors.green,
),
Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
color: Colors.blue,
),
],
),
),
),
FlutterWebScroller(
//Pass a reference to the ScrollCallBack function into the scrollbar
scrollCallBack,
//Add optional values
scrollBarBackgroundColor: Colors.white,
scrollBarWidth: 20.0,
dragHandleColor: Colors.red,
dragHandleBorderRadius: 2.0,
dragHandleHeight: 40.0,
dragHandleWidth: 15.0,
),
],
),
);
}
}
- Inside of our
scrollCallBack
function, we're updating theScrollController
that is attached to our scrollable widget. It's important to note that in the example, we are using a value of 3.5 to represent the theoretical height of our page content. The theoretical height of your page content may be different. For example, if you have to full height container as your content, you may want to use 2 rather than 3.5. Getting this value as correct as possible plays a big role in how accurate your scrolling will be. - Visit the repository here to submit issue reports and request changes
