How to get Animated Text in Flutter

Published November 20, 2021

Flutter is Google's portable UI toolkit for crafting beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase, and Flutter is also known for its animations so, In today's tutorial, we will see how you can get animated text in Flutter.

Let's start

Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application.

Step 2: Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  animated_text_kit: ^4.2.1

 

Step 3: AnimatedTextKit is a Stateful Widget that produces text animations, Once Installed we will get access to various animations. Just use AnimatedTextKit instead of the Text widget where you want animated text.

for example:

AnimatedTextKit(
  animatedTexts: [
    TypewriterAnimatedText(
      'Hello world!',
      textStyle: const TextStyle(
        fontSize: 32.0,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      ),
    ),
  ],
)

 

you will get many different properties that will help you control the animations as such

  • pause – the time of the pause between animation texts
  • displayFullTextOnTap – tapping the animation will rush it to completion
  • isRepeatingAnimation – controls whether the animation repeats
  • repeatForever – controls whether the animation repeats forever
  • totalRepeatCount – number of times the animation should repeat 

There are also custom callbacks such as

  • onTap
  • onFinished

with this, you can use many animations such as RotateAnimatedText, ScaleAnimatedText, WavyAnimatedText, TypewriterAnimatedText, ColorizeAnimatedText etc

simple example:

   Container(

                height: 100,

                child: AnimatedTextKit(

                    totalRepeatCount: 10,

                    repeatForever: true,

                    isRepeatingAnimation: true,

                    animatedTexts: [

                      ScaleAnimatedText(

                        'this will Scale',

                        textStyle: textStyle,

                        scalingFactor: 20.0,

                      )

                    ])),

 

Complete Source Code for Create Animated Text in Flutter

import 'package:animated_text_kit/animated_text_kit.dart';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

 

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

 

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {

  @override

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return MaterialApp(

      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,

      home: Demo(),

    );

  }

}

 

class Demo extends StatefulWidget {

  @override

  _DemoState createState() => _DemoState();

}

 

class _DemoState extends State<Demo> {

  TextStyle textStyle = const TextStyle(

      fontSize: 30.0, color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.w900);

 

  @override

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Scaffold(

      backgroundColor: Colors.black,

      body: SafeArea(

          child: Center(

        child: Column(

          children: [

            Container(

              height: 100,

              child: Row(

                  ),

                  const SizedBox(

                    height: 5.0,

                  ),

                  AnimatedTextKit(repeatForever: true, animatedTexts: [

                    RotateAnimatedText(

                      'is Awesome',

                      textStyle: textStyle,

                    ),

                  ]),

                ],

              ),

            ),

            Container(

                height: 100,

                child: AnimatedTextKit(

                    totalRepeatCount: 10,

                    repeatForever: true,

                    isRepeatingAnimation: true,

                    animatedTexts: [

                      ScaleAnimatedText(

                        'this will Scale',

                        textStyle: textStyle,

                        scalingFactor: 20.0,

                      )

                    ])),

            Container(

              child: AnimatedTextKit(

                  repeatForever: true,

                  isRepeatingAnimation: true,

                  animatedTexts: [

                    WavyAnimatedText('This is really Long String',

                        textStyle: textStyle),

                    TypewriterAnimatedText('And you are watching Video',

                        textStyle: textStyle)

                  ]),

            ),

            const SizedBox(

              height: 20,

            ),

            AnimatedTextKit(

                repeatForever: true,

                isRepeatingAnimation: true,

                animatedTexts: [

                  ColorizeAnimatedText('Subscribe to Channel',

                      textStyle: textStyle,

                      colors: [

                        Colors.red,

                        Colors.yellow,

                        Colors.lightBlue,

                        Colors.pinkAccent,

                      ]),

                ])

          ],

        ),

      )),

    );

  }

}
