Usage

Here’s an example of how to use the PolaroidCarousel widget in your Flutter application:

This widget accepts a list of widgets and displays them in animation. If you desire a specific rotation for each item, wrap each child with a transform and specify the desired rotation angle using rotateZ() like in Example.

class Example extends StatelessWidget {
  const Example({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    List<Widget> list = [
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.black,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.blue,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.brown,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.red,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.grey,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        color: Colors.yellow,
      ),
    ];

    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
          child: PolaroidCarousel(
          //these to property are necessary

          // value to which list item translate
          // advice : if the children are rotated like the example and you are not able to specify the translateFactor
          // then the max translateFactor should be √((childHeight^2, childWidth^2)) of child with maximum size
          //but try to adjust translateFactor according to your need
          translateFactor: 360,

          children: list,

          // these properties are optional

          // duration: const Duration(seconds: 1),
          // rotate: const Rotate(x: 0.001,y: 0.02,z: 0.001),
          // curve: Curves.easeInOut,
          // order: Order.frontToBack,
          // translate: Translate.top,
          ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
