Circular progress bar in flutter

Flutter Animated Loader

A highly customizable circular slider/progress bar & spinner for Flutter.

Installation

Add

sleek_circular_slider : ^lastest_version

to your pubspec.yaml, and run

flutter packages get

in your project’s root directory.

Basic Usage

Import it to your project file

import 'package:sleek_circular_slider/sleek_circular_slider.dart';

And add it in its most basic form like it:

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
                      appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(),
                      onChange: (double value) {
                        print(value);
                      });

There are additional optional parameters one can initialize the slider with.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  min: 0,
  max: 1000,
  initialValue: 426,
  onChange: (double value) {
    // callback providing a value while its being changed (with a pan gesture)
  },
  onChangeStart: (double startValue) {
    // callback providing a starting value (when a pan gesture starts)
  },
  onChangeEnd: (double endValue) {
    // ucallback providing an ending value (when a pan gesture ends)
  },
  innerWidget: (double value) {
    // use your custom widget inside the slider (gets a slider value from the callback)
  },
);

Use as a progress bar

Slider user’s interaction will be disabled if there is either no [onChange] or [onChangeEnd] provided. That way one can use the widget not as a slider but as a progress bar.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(
    customWidths: CustomSliderWidths(progressBarWidth: 10)),
  min: 10,
  max: 28,
  initialValue: 14,
);

Use as a spinner

There is one more use case for the library. It’s a spinner which can be shown to users while loading etc. In this mode the widget is not interactive and ignores all angles so there is no need to provide them.

final slider = SleekCircularSlider(
  appearance: CircularSliderAppearance(
    spinnerMode: true,
));

CircularSliderAppearance parameters

ParameterDefaultDescription
size double150The width & height value for the slider.
startAngle double150The angle (in degrees) the slider begins with.
angleRange double240The angle range (in degrees) the slider reaches when maximum value set.
counterClockwise boolfalseThe setting indicating direction of the widget.
customWidths CustomSliderWidthsThe object with a set of widths for the track, bar, shadow etc.
customColors CustomSliderColorsThe object with a set of colors for the track, bar, shadow etc.
infoProperties InfoPropertiesThe object with a set of properties for internal labels displaying a current slider value.
animationEnabled booltrueThe setting indicating whether external changes of a slider value should be animated.
spinnerMode boolfalseThe setting turning the widget into a spinner.
spinnerDuration int1500The spinner animation duration in miliseconds
animDurationMultiplier double1.0The multiplier of duration for the animation when value changed

CustomSliderWidths parameters

ParameterDefaultDescription
trackWidth doubleprogressBarWidth / 4The width of the slider’s track.
progressBarWidth doubleslider’s size / 10The width of the slider’s progress bar.
shadowWidth doubleprogressBarWidth * 1.4The width of the slider’s shadow.
handlerSize doubleprogressBarWidth / 5The size of the slider’s handler.

CustomSliderColors parameters

ParameterDefaultDescription
trackColor Color#DCBEFBThe color of the slider’s track.
