svg drawing animation

SVG Drawing Animation #



Widget for drawing line animations of SVG. For now, it only renders paths. Feel free to propose pull requests if you want to support a new feature.

Features #

load SVG from any source (string, network...). See built-in SvgProviders.
supports Duration and speed.
supports Curves.
supports Animations.
customizable loading and error state.
customizable "pen" rendering.

See SvgDrawingAnimation for more.
Difference with other packages #

drawing_animation served as inspiration for this package. It appears not to be maintained any more. Check out the table below for differences.
flutter_svg provides a Widget to render static SVG. We use flutter_svg to parse SVG.
animated_svg makes smooth transitions between two different SVG.

Usage #
Basic Usage #
import 'package:svg_drawing_animation/svg_drawing_animation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}

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

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Example')),
body: Center(
child: SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 10),
))));
}
}

Fit it in a box #
MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Example')),
body: Center(
child: SizedBox(
width: 300,
height: 300,
child: SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 10),
)))));

With curves and repeat #
SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 10),
curve: Curves.decelerate,
repeats: true)
copied to clipboard
Speed instead of duration #
SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
speed: 100,
repeats: true)

Custom animation #
You can use your own AnimationController.
class ReplayableCard extends StatefulWidget {
const ReplayableCard({super.key});

@override
State<ReplayableCard> createState() => _ReplayableCardState();
}

class _ReplayableCardState extends State<ReplayableCard>
with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
late AnimationController controller;

@override
void initState() {
controller =
AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(seconds: 5));
controller.forward();

super.initState();
}

@override
void dispose() {
controller.dispose();
super.dispose();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
controller.reset();
controller.forward();
},
child: Card(
child: SizedBox(
width: 100,
height: 100,
child: SvgDrawingAnimation(SvgProvider.string(kanjiSvg),
animation: controller),
),
),
);
}
}

Custom progress indicator #
SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 4),
loadingWidgetBuilder: (context) => Center(child: LinearProgressIndicator()))
copied to clipboard
Custom error handling #
By default svg_drawing_animation shows an error message when an error occurs, but
you can customize what to show to the user instead.
SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 4),
errorWidgetBuilder: (context) => Text('Oops! Something went wrong.'))
copied to clipboard
Drawing the Pen #
SvgDrawingAnimation(
SvgProvider.network(
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/African_Elephant_SVG.svg'),
duration: const Duration(seconds: 4),
penRenderer: CirclePenRenderer(radius: 15))
copied to clipboard
Design choices #
Constructor parameters: Duration, Curve, repeats #
We've followed the style of ImplicitlyAnimatedWidget, which take a Duration, a Curve and a repeats flag similar to AnimatedRotation.turns. This allows for a good amount of customization without having to mess with AnimationControllers and StatefulWidgets.
See https://docs.flutter.dev/development/ui/animations for comprehensive information on animations.
SvgProvider #
Flutter's Image widdget uses an ImageProvider, while flutter_svg's SvgPicture uses a similar PictureProvider pattern. We follow that architecture by introducing an SvgProvider with Futures instead of Streams for simplicity.
Loading and Error states #
We allow custom rendering of loading and error states similar to Image's ImageLoadingBuilder and ImageErrorWidgetBuilder.
Developing #
Re-generating http.Client mocks #
Run flutter pub run build_runner build. See Flutter Cookbook on Mockito.
