To use this plugin, add wolt_modal_sheet as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Usage

This package has 4 example projects.

Example app

The example app demonstrates how to display a two-page modal sheet.

class MainApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MainApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final pageIndexNotifier = ValueNotifier(0);

    WoltModalSheetPage page1(BuildContext modalSheetContext) {
      return WoltModalSheetPage.withSingleChild(
        stickyActionBar: StickyActionBarWrapper(
          child: Column(
            children: [
              WoltElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () => Navigator.of(modalSheetContext).pop(),
                theme: WoltElevatedButtonTheme.secondary,
                child: const Text('Cancel'),
              ),
              const SizedBox(height: 8),
              WoltElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  pageIndexNotifier.value = pageIndexNotifier.value + 1;
                },
                child: const Text('Next page'),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
        pageTitle: const ModalSheetTitle('Pagination'),

Pagination involves a sequence of screens the user navigates sequentially. We chose a lateral motion for these transitions. When proceeding forward, the next screen emerges from the right; moving backward, the screen reverts to its original position. We felt that sliding the next screen entirely from the right could be overly distracting. As a result, we decided to move and fade in the next page using 30% of the modal side.

  }
}

The code snippet above produces the following:

Playground app with imperative navigation

The playground app demonstrates how to imperatively show the modal sheet. The purpose of this module is to play and experiment with various use cases. These use cases include: It demonstrates

  • A page with forced max height independent of its content.
  • A page with a hero image
  • A page with a list whose items are lazily built.
  • A page with a text field.

Playground app with declarative navigation

The playground_navigator2 has the same content with the playground app but the modal sheet is shown using Navigator 2.0 (Router API) in a declarative way.

Coffee maker app for state management example

Finally, the coffee_maker app demonstrates how to manage the state among the page components with an opinionated use of the Provider state management library.

The code snippet demonstrates how to decorate the modal sheet with a change notifier provider so that the page components can be rebuilt according to the current state:

  void _onCoffeeOrderSelectedInAddWaterState(BuildContext context, String coffeeOrderId) {
  final model = context.read<StoreOnlineViewModel>();
  final pageIndexNotifier = ValueNotifier(0);

  WoltModalSheet.show(
    pageIndexNotifier: pageIndexNotifier,
    context: context,
    decorator: (child) {
      return ChangeNotifierProvider<StoreOnlineViewModel>.value(
        value: model,
        builder: (_, __) => child,
      );
    },
    pageListBuilderNotifier: AddWaterModalPageBuilder.build(
      coffeeOrderId: coffeeOrderId,
      goToPreviousPage: () => pageIndexNotifier.value = pageIndexNotifier.value - 1,
      goToNextPage: () => pageIndexNotifier.value = pageIndexNotifier.value + 1,
    ),
    modalTypeBuilder: _modalTypeBuilder,
  );
}
