What is Drawer in Flutter? It is a material design panel that slides horizontally from the edge of a Scaffold to show navigation links in an application. so, In this tutorial we will see how you can get simple drawer in your Flutter Application.
Let's Start
Step 1: Create a new Application.
Step 2: The Scaffold widget supports special Material Design components, such as Drawers, AppBars, and SnackBars. so you can add drawer in your scaffold, for example
Scaffold( drawer: // Add a Drawer here in the next step. ); |
Step 3: A Drawer can be any widget, but it’s often best to use the Drawer widget from the material library, for example
Scaffold(
drawer: Drawer(
child: // Can be any Widget.
),
);
|
Step 4: Now you can use any widget as a child of drawer, but the most common widget that is used is a ListView in Flutter. Inside ListView you can use widgets as DrawerHeader and ListTile, for example
Drawer(
child: ListView(
padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
children: [
const DrawerHeader(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.blue,
),
child: Text('Drawer Header'),
),
ListTile(
title: const Text('Item 1'),
onTap: () {},
),
],
),
);
|
using these will complete our simple drawer in Flutter.
