// 1. Define your animations
const entrance = MontageAnimation(
  key: 'entrance',
  duration: Duration(seconds: 2), 
);

const exit = MontageAnimation(
  key: 'exit',
  duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
);

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  const Home({
    Key? key,
  }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  MontageController? controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    controller = MontageController(
      vsync: this,
      initialAnimation: entrance,
    );
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller?.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: ValueListenableBuilder<MontageAnimation?>(
          valueListenable: controller!.current,
          builder: (context, current, child) => Text(current?.key ?? 'none'),
        ),
      ),
      // 2. Wrap your animated widget in a `Montage` with its controller.
      body: Montage( 
        controller: controller!,
        child: BasicScene(),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton.extended(
        onPressed: () {
          /// Plays this sequence of animations
          controller!.play([
            entrance,
            exit,
          ]);
        },
        label: Text('Play'),
        icon: Icon(Icons.video_call),
      ),

        Motion(
          motion: {
            // You can use the provider motions or custom ones
            entrance: Motions.combine([
              Motions.rotate(startTurns: -1, endTurns: 0),
              Motions.fadeIn,
            ]),
            exit: Motions.combine([
              Motions.rotate(startTurns: 0, endTurns: 1),

Widgets

Declaring animation references

You must start by declaring you scene's various animation sequences as MontageAnimation global objects.

const entrance = MontageAnimation(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
);

const idle = MontageAnimation(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 3),
);

const exit = MontageAnimation(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
);
Dart

Montage

The montage serves as the root configuration for your motion widgets. It takes a dedicated controller that will allow to trigger animations.

class _HomeState extends State<Home> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
  MontageController? controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    controller = MontageController(
      vsync: this,
      initialAnimation: entrance,
    );
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller?.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Montage(
        controller: controller!,
        child: Scene(),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        icon: Icon(Icons.video_call),
        onPressed: () {
          /// Plays this sequence of animations
          controller!.play([
            entrance,
            exit,
            entrance,
            idle,
            exit,
          ]);
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}
Dart

Motion

The core widget that can animate a child widget differently for each one of the played MotionAnimation from the root Montage's controller.

Motion(
    motion: {
        entrance: Motions.fadeIn,
        exit: Motions.fadeOut,
    },
    child: FlutterLogo(
        size: 50,
    ),
)
Dart

Staggered animation

If you want to animated a set of widgets progressively, you use the Motion.staggered helper method.

Two curves are provided with children animated in the original order as forward, or children animated in reverse order with backwards.

You can also configure overlap if you want that animation of each children starts before the end of the previous one.

Row(
    mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
    children: [
    ...Motion.staggered(
        children: [
            Text("FL"),
            Text("UT"),
            Text("TER"),
        ],
        motion: (child, i, forward, backward) {
            return {
                entrance: Motions.curved(
                    forward,
                        Motions.combine([
                            Motions.rotate(startTurns: -1, endTurns: 0),
                            Motions.fadeIn,
                            Motions.scale(begin: 3, end: 1)
                        ]),
                ),
                exit: Motions.curved(
                    backward,
                        Motions.combine([
                        Motions.rotate(startTurns: 0, endTurns: -1),
                        Motions.fadeOut,
                        Motions.scale(begin: 1, end: 3)
                    ]),
                ),
            };
        },
    )
    ],
),
Dart

Motions

Built-in

A set of motions is available from the motions.dart file.

Custom

A motion is just a widget builder from the current Animation<double> and the child Widget that should be animated.

Widget fadeIn(
  BuildContext context,
  MontageAnimation current,
  Animation<double> animation,
  Widget? child,
) {
    return FadeTransition(
        opacity: animation,
        child: child,
    );
}
