Custom Widgets

Custom widgets can be found in lib > widgets. They can be reused in different places of the app.

• BottomMenuWidget() - a bottom navigation bar that uses the built-in MaterialApp BottomNavigationBar widget. The built-in widget has limited options for visual effects (item border is not available at the moment), but it's easier to implement than a widget made from scratch. Perhaps there are possibilities to add more visual flexibility (further research is needed).

• ColoredAreaWidget({ backgroundColor, required content }) - this widget adds an area with background and rounded corners. Background color has a default value.

• HeadingLinedWidget({ required title }) - this widget displays a centered heading that contains a centered heading surrounded by horizontal lines

• HeadlineWidget({ required title, subtitle }) - this widget adds a styled headline that consists of the main title and subtitle (optional) of the page/screen.

• HtmlWidget({ required data, center }) - this widget uses html rendering with some styles added to it. It uses package flutter_html. The idea behind this widget is to add some visual consistency wherever html will be rendered in the app. Especially useful for various descriptions (e.g. challenges) and news articles.

• ImageExternalWidget({ required url, width, height, borderRadius }) - this widget adds an external image with some styling and clipping added to it.

• ImageLocalWidget({ required url, width, height, borderRadius }) - this widget adds a local image with some styling and clipping added to it.

• MessageWidget( { icon, title, message }) - displays a vertically and horizontally centered area that contains an icon, title and message. In the future we will probably add some illustrations to it.

• WrapperSimpleWidget({ required mainArea, bodyBackgroundColor }) - displays a Scaffold structure with minimal setup with fullscreen body.

• WrapperMainWidget( { required mainArea, bodyBackgroundColor }) - displays a Scaffold structure with standard setup.

• StatsWidget({ required label, required number, icon, localIcon}) - displays a column with a label, big number and icon. Icon can be added in two ways: by choosing a local asset(use localIcon) or an icon from icons library(use icon). Suitable for displaying stats.

• ChallengeHeadlineWidget({ required title, required points }) - displays a headline in single challenge page templates. It includes the title and points. UI work is in progress.

• ChallengeDescriptionWidget({ description }) - displays a description in single challenge page if it exists. Uses HtmlWidget(). UI work is in progress.

Json serialization

We can use JSON serialization and generate the factory methods automatically by using json_serializable, build_runner and json_annotation packages.

Generate code
flutter pub run build_runner build

Generate code and update it automatically while working with model
flutter pub run build_runner serve --delete-conflicting-outputs
