Hexify #
Hexify is a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly Flutter package designed to simplify color manipulation and gradient creation. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, Hexify makes working with colors in Flutter a breeze, allowing you to create stunning and dynamic color schemes with minimal effort.
Why Choose Hexify? #
🚀 Simplicity at Its Core #
Hexify takes the complexity out of color manipulation. With just a single function call, you can convert hex codes, create gradients, and apply sophisticated color transformations. No more juggling multiple color utility functions or dealing with complex color math!
🎨 Versatile Color Handling #
From simple hex code conversions to complex gradient generations, Hexify has got you covered. It seamlessly handles hex codes (with or without '#'), RGBO values, and even creates linear and radial gradients on the fly.
🛠 Flexible API #
Designed with flexibility in mind, Hexify's API allows you to do as much or as little as you need. Need a quick color from a hex code? One line of code. Want to create a complex three-color gradient with custom stops and transformations? Hexify scales to your needs.
🔍 Intelligent Defaults #
While offering a wide range of customization options, Hexify also provides smart defaults. This means you can get great results with minimal configuration, perfect for rapid prototyping or when you need a quick color solution.
Features #

🎭 Easy conversion of hex color codes to Flutter Color objects

And that's it! You're ready to start using Hexify in your project.
Usage #
Using Hexify is straightforward. Start by importing the package:
import 'package:hexify/hexify.dart';

Basic Color Creation #
Creating a color from a hex code is simple. Hexify is flexible with hex code input. You can use the '#' symbol or omit it:
Color myColor1 = Hexify(colorCode: '#FF5733');
Color myColor2 = Hexify(colorCode: 'FF5733');
copied to clipboard
Both of these will produce the same color.
Gradient Creation #
Linear Gradients
Create a beautiful linear gradient:
LinearGradient myGradient1 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB'
);

// Or without '#'
LinearGradient myGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB'
);
copied to clipboard
Radial Gradients
Create a radial gradient:
RadialGradient myRadialGradient1 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.RadialGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',
radius: 0.8
);

// Or without '#'
RadialGradient myRadialGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.RadialGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB',
radius: 0.8
);
copied to clipboard
Advanced Color Manipulation #
Opacity
Apply opacity to your colors:
Color semiTransparentColor1 = Hexify(colorCode: '#FF5733', opacity: 0.5);
Color semiTransparentColor2 = Hexify(colorCode: 'FF5733', opacity: 0.5);
copied to clipboard
Shading
Create a darker shade of a color:
Color darkerShade1 = Hexify(colorCode: '#FF5733', shade: 0.7);
Color darkerShade2 = Hexify(colorCode: 'FF5733', shade: 0.7);
copied to clipboard
RGBO Support #
Work with RGBO values:
Color myRgboColor = Hexify(colorCode: '255, 87, 51, 0.8');
copied to clipboard
Advanced Gradient Options #
Custom Stops #
Define precise positions for color transitions:
LinearGradient customStopsGradient = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',
thirdColor: '#2ECC71',
stops: [0.2, 0.5, 0.8]
);

// Or without '#'
LinearGradient customStopsGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB',
thirdColor: '2ECC71',
stops: [0.2, 0.5, 0.8]
);
copied to clipboard
TileMode #
Determine how the gradient behaves outside its defined area:
LinearGradient tiledGradient = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',
tileMode: TileMode.repeated
);

// Or without '#'
LinearGradient tiledGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB',
tileMode: TileMode.repeated
);
copied to clipboard
Options for tileMode:

TileMode.clamp: Extends the edge colors (default)
TileMode.repeated: Repeats the gradient
TileMode.mirror: Mirrors the gradient

GradientTransform #
Apply matrix transformations to your gradient:
LinearGradient transformedGradient = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',
transform: GradientRotation(pi / 4) // Rotates the gradient by 45 degrees
);

// Or without '#'
LinearGradient transformedGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB',
transform: GradientRotation(pi / 4) // Rotates the gradient by 45 degrees
);
copied to clipboard
Advanced Radial Gradient Options #
Specify a focal point and focal radius for radial gradients:
RadialGradient advancedRadialGradient = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.RadialGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',
center: Alignment(0.3, -0.5),
focal: Alignment(-0.1, 0.6),
focalRadius: 0.2
);

// Or without '#'
RadialGradient advancedRadialGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.RadialGradient,
firstColor: 'FF5733',
secondColor: '3498DB',
center: Alignment(0.3, -0.5),
focal: Alignment(-0.1, 0.6),
focalRadius: 0.2
);

Real-World Examples #
Creating a Dynamic Theme #
class MyTheme {
static Color primaryColor1 = Hexify(colorCode: '#3498DB');
static Color primaryColor2 = Hexify(colorCode: '3498DB');

static Color accentColor1 = Hexify(colorCode: '#E74C3C');
static Color accentColor2 = Hexify(colorCode: 'E74C3C');

static LinearGradient backgroundGradient1 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '#3498DB',
secondColor: '#E74C3C',
begin: Alignment.topLeft,
end: Alignment.bottomRight
);

static LinearGradient backgroundGradient2 = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.LinearGradient,
firstColor: '3498DB',
secondColor: 'E74C3C',
begin: Alignment.topLeft,
end: Alignment.bottomRight

Custom Painter with Hexify #
class MyCustomPainter extends CustomPainter {
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
final paint = Paint()
..shader = Hexify(
gradientType: HexifyGradientType.RadialGradient,
firstColor: '#FF5733',
secondColor: '#3498DB',

).createShader(Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, size.width, size.height));

// Or without '#'
final paint2 = Paint()
..shader = Hexify(
