FlutterHow do i create Elastic Drawer UI

Last updated Nov 12, 2021

In this tutorial, we will see how you can get an Elastic panel that slides horizontally to show fully customized content in Flutter.

Let's Start

Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application.

Step 2: Add a line like this to your package's pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  elastic_drawer: ^2.0.1

 

Step 3: Now to have this Effect all you have to do is Wrap your Scaffold widget with a widget called ElasticDrawer.

for example: 

child: ElasticDrawer(

mainChild: Scaffold(

appBar: AppBar(),

)

)

Now as you see Elastic Drawer has two required parameters which are

  • mainChild
  • drawerChild

so, for main child you can add your widget that will be displayed first, and for drawer child can be any widget/screen that will be displayed when we drag it horizontally.

for example: 

 mainChild: Scaffold(

              appBar: AppBar(),

              body: const Center(

                child: Text(

                  'Main Page',

                  style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 30.0),

                ),

              ),

            ),

drawerChild: Column(

              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,

              children: [

                GridView.count(

                  crossAxisCount: 3,

                  mainAxisSpacing: 5.0,

                  crossAxisSpacing: 5.0,

                  shrinkWrap: true,

                  children: List.generate(

                    6,

                    (index) {

                      return Padding(

                        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),

                        child: Container(

                          color: Colors.yellow,

                          child: Center(

                              child: Text(

                            index.toString(),

                            style: const TextStyle(

                                fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),

                          )),

                        ),

                      );

                    },

                  ),

                )

              ],

            )

      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,

      home: ElasticDemo(),

    );

            ),

            drawerChild: Column(

              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,

              children: [

                GridView.count(

                  crossAxisCount: 3,

                  mainAxisSpacing: 5.0,

                  crossAxisSpacing: 5.0,

                  shrinkWrap: true,

                  children: List.generate(

                    6,

                    (index) {

                      return Padding(

                        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),

                        child: Container(

                          color: Colors.yellow,

                          child: Center(

                              child: Text(

                            style: const TextStyle(

                                fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),

                          )),

                        ),

                      );

                    },

                  ),

                )

              ],
