Flutter Animation - That understands the component's current value and its states.

Flutter Animation is an abstract class that helps to understand the components' current values and their states. we mostly used animation to create models that are required for research and study. Animation also allows us to create realistic models that help us to show the accurate representation of a component. ‌‌Animations enhance the user experience that makes the applications more interactive for the users and user-friendly.

Flutter Animation Widget

Flutter uses an animation widget to make the component's state dynamic. We can customize the animation by using its property. Nowadays animations are used to make their components more interactive.

In Flutter, we can define animation inside scaffold but before declaring animation we need to declare animation controller.

Flutter Animation Controller

A controller for animation. This class lets us perform tasks such as Play an animation forward or in reverse, or stop an animation, etc. Set the animation to a specific value.

By using different properties of the controller we can customize the animation duration, parent, and curve structure.

Flutter Rotation Animation

Rotation GFAnimation is a Flutter Rotation Animation widget that will rotate the component. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.rotateTransition creates a rotation transition for the child of a widget. We can use the below code to create a rotation animation for a component.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';

  AnimationController controller;
  Animation<double> animation;
  
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        AnimationController(duration: const Duration(seconds: 10), vsync: this);
    animation = new CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.linear);
    controller.repeat();
  }

GestureDetector(
  onTap: () {
    controller.repeat();
  },
  child: GFAnimation(
    turnsAnimation: animation,
    controller: controller,
    type: GFAnimationType.rotateTransition,
    alignment: Alignment.center,
    child: Image.asset(
      'assets image here',
      width: 100,
      height: 120,
    ),
  ),
),

Flutter Scaling Animation

Flutter Scaling GFAnimation apparently changes the size of a widget from smaller to bigger or vice versa. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.scaleTransition . Creates a scale transition for the child of the widget. We can use the below code for scaling animation.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';    

AnimationController controller;
  Animation<double> animation;
  
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        AnimationController(duration: const Duration(seconds: 10), vsync: this);
    animation = new CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.linear);
    controller.repeat();
  }

GestureDetector(
  onTap: () {
    controller.repeat();
  },
  child: GFAnimation(
    scaleAnimation: animation,
    controller: controller,
    type: GFAnimationType.scaleTransition,
    child: Image.asset(
      'assets image here',
      width: 110,
      height: 90,
    ),
  ),
),

Flutter Alignment Animation

Flutter Alignment GFAnimation aligns your component horizontally or else vertically. If you are giving a particular alignment then with the given duration it will align your component to the targeted alignment position. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.align , creates alignment transitions for the child of the widget. We can use the below code for alignment animation.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';    

GFAnimation(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 4),
  alignment: Alignment.bottomLeft,
  type: GFAnimationType.align,
  child: Image.asset(
    'assets image here',
    width: 130,
    height: 130,
  ),
),

Flutter Slide Transition With GFAnimation

Slide Transition GFAnimation animates the widget from one position to another relative position. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.slideTransition , Creates a fractional translation transition for the child of the widget. We can use the below code for slide transition animation.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';    

 Animation<Offset> offsetAnimation;
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        AnimationController(duration: const Duration(seconds: 6), vsync: this);
    animation = new CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.linear);
    controller.repeat();
    offsetAnimation = Tween<Offset>(
      begin: Offset(-5, 0),
      end: const Offset(0, 0),
    ).animate(CurvedAnimation(
      parent: controller,
      curve: Curves.linear,
    ));
  }

Container(
  width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
  child: GFAnimation(
    controller: controller,
    slidePosition: offsetAnimation,
    type: GFAnimationType.slideTransition,
    child: Image.asset(
      'assets image here',
      width: 110,
      height: 110,
    ),
  ),
),

Flutter Size Animation

Flutter Size GFAnimation animates the widget that automatically transitions its size in a given duration whenever the given child's size changes. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.size , creates a widget that animates its size. We can use the below code for size animation.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';    

bool selected = false;

AnimationController controller;
Animation<double> animation;
  
@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        AnimationController(duration: const Duration(seconds: 7), vsync: this);
    animation = new CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.linear);
    controller.repeat();
  }

GFAnimation(
  onTap: () {
    if (mounted) {
      setState(() {
        selected = !selected;
      });
    }
  },
  width: selected ? 150 : 100,
  height: selected ? 150 : 100,
  type: GFAnimationType.size,
  controller: controller,
  child: Image.asset(
    'assets image here',
     width: 90,
    height: 90,
  ),
),

Flutter Container Animation

Container GFAnimation animates the component that automatically transits its size in a given duration whenever the given child's size changes. GFAnimation property type: GFAnimationType.container , creates a widget that changes its size.

We can use the below code for container animation.

import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';    

AnimationController controller;
Animation<double> animation;
double _fontSize = 40;
  
@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        AnimationController(duration: const Duration(seconds: 10), vsync: this);
    animation = new CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.linear);
    controller.repeat();
  }

GFAnimation(
  width: 80,
  changedWidth: 120,
  height: 60,
  changedHeight: 130,
  activeColor: Colors.transparent,
  color: Colors.transparent,
  fontSize: _fontSize,
  type: GFAnimationType.container,
  child: Image.asset(
    'assets image here',
     width: 90,
    height: 90,
  ),
),

What are the customizable properties used?

Ans. The customizable properties include the duration, reverseDuration, alignment, activeAlignment, child, curve, type, width, turnsAnimation, scaleAnimation, slidePosition, controller, onTap, changedHeight etc. of Drawer component . Hence customizable properties are full flexible. You can check out all custom properties on GetWidget Flutter Animation Widget Custom Properties.

Can our slide transition will work without offsetAnimation?

Ans: No, it will not work without a declaration of offsetAnimation. To make it work we have to declare the offsetAnimation inside scaffold because it holds the begin and end transition controllers which helps the components to detect the slidePosition.
