Custom Widget: Peg
on Friday, 24th of July, 2020
To start, build the Peg widget, which is mostly just a dumb widget that we'll create four of in our app. Each one will be animated separately.
This widget is built by manipulating a Container widget. It's a container widget that's designed with a specific size, color, border radius, and box shadow.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class Peg extends StatelessWidget {
final double marginLeft;
final double marginRight;
const Peg({Key key, this.marginLeft, this.marginRight}) : super(key: key);
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Container(
width: 35.0,
height: 15.0,
margin: new EdgeInsets.only(left: marginLeft, right: marginRight),
decoration: new BoxDecoration(
color: const Color.fromRGBO(0, 0, 255, 1.0),
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
boxShadow: [
new BoxShadow(
color: Colors.black12,
blurRadius: 8.0,
spreadRadius: 1.0,
offset: new Offset(1.0, 0.0),
),
new BoxShadow(
color: Colors.black26,
blurRadius: 6.0,
spreadRadius: 1.5,
offset: new Offset(1.0, 0.0),
),
],
),
);
}
}The properties Peg.marginLeft and Peg.marginRight are used to position the pegs next to each other correctly. They will be discussed in more detail later in this tutorial.
