pointer_event_sink

Description:

pointer event sink

A Flutter widget that exposes a continuous flow of raw PointerEvents to a child's BuildContext.
Installation #
flutter pub add pointer_event_sink && flutter pub get
Usage #
Simply wrap your consuming widget with the PointerEventSink – that's it!
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:pointer_event_sink/pointer_event_sink.dart';
import '../widgets/basic_example_widget.dart';

class BasicExampleScreen extends StatelessWidget {
const BasicExampleScreen({super.key});

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
Expanded(
child: PointerEventSink(BasicExampleWidget()),
),
],
),
);
}
}

Once your consuming widget is wrapped, PointerEvents are now exposed via PointerDetails.of(context) inside that widget's build method.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:pointer_event_sink/pointer_event_sink.dart' show PointerDetails;

class BasicExampleWidget extends StatelessWidget {
const BasicExampleWidget({super.key});

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return SizedBox.expand(child: Text(PointerDetails.of(context).toString()));
}
}
