Render Metrics #






This package is part of the SurfGear toolkit made by Surf.

Description #
This package helps retrieve the current positioning coordinates of any widget in a widgets tree in your Flutter application.
Currently supported features #

Retrieve the full set of positioning coordinates of the desired widget at any time;
Calculate the difference in positioning between two widgets and use it the way you need.

Example #
Getting widget's coordinates #
Instantiate RenderParametersManager object. You can set a special type for the widget's unique identifier or leave it dynamic.
final renderManager = RenderParametersManager<dynamic>();
copied to clipboard
Wrap the desired widget in a RenderMetricsObject. The id parameter is the widget’s unique identifier.
RenderMetricsObject(
id: "uniqueWidgetId",
manager: renderManager,
child: Container(
...
),
),
copied to clipboard
Get a bundle with the positioning coordinates of the wrapped widget.
RenderData data = renderManager.getRenderData("uniqueWidgetId");
copied to clipboard
Calculating the difference in positioning between two widgets #
Wrap the widgets you want to compare in RenderMetricsObjects. Specify two different ids for each of them. Please note, that the manager parameter of both widgets should contain the link to the same RenderParametersManager instance.
RenderMetricsObject(
id: "rowWidgetId",
manager: renderManager,
child: Row(
...
),
),
RenderMetricsObject(
id: "columnWidgetId",
manager: renderManager,
child: Column(
...
),
),
copied to clipboard
Specify two unique widget identifiers when using the getDiffById() function and extract a bundle with the relative difference in positioning coordinates between the widgets.
ComparisonDiff diff =
renderManager.getDiffById("rowWidgetId", "columnWidgetId");

What metrics can I get? #
RenderData #
RenderData instance contains a complete set of properties that characterize any widget in a two-dimensional space.
All metrics positioning coordinates are global, meaning they are relative to the entire screen coordinate space.

RenderData also provides you an ability to get all widget keypoint XY-coordinates by calling one of special getters.

ComparisonDiff #
You can get the comparison relative results for each widget keypoint from the ComparisonDiff instance.
An additional set of special getters can help you calculate the difference between two adjacent sides of two different widgets (e.g. right to left, top to bottom, etc.).
