Flutter Wear ⌚ #
Flutter wear is a library for flutter aspiring to be a one-stop shop for all related features for android wear (We're not there yet, but will slowly get there 🙃).
This library is still in very very early development, and breaking changes may be introduced every version !

Planned features 📋 #

❌ Add support for tile lifecycle events (onTileAddEvent() for example)
❌ Support tile animations
❌ Support hot reload for tiles (only in preview).
❌ Incorporate app themes
❌ Improve UI exceptions
❌ Create wear widgets system (like package:flutter/material.dart)
✅ Upgrade tiles to new version (1.2.0)
❌ Add Tests
✅ Automate tiles syncing
❌ Add support for health services for wear apps and tiles (androidx.wear.protolayout.expression.PlatformHealthSources for tiles, research more for in app service)

Tiles 🍫 #
Tiles can finally be made using Flutter 💙 !
The following code :
class WeatherTile extends Tile<WeatherInfo> {
const WeatherTile();

@override
Future<WeatherInfo?> createState() {
return FakeWeatherProvider().getWeather();
}

@override
TileWidget build(TileContext context, WeatherInfo? state) {
if (state == null) return const Text("Something went wrong...");

return PrimaryLayout(
body: _Forecast(temperature: state.temperature),
title: _Location(location: state.location),
chip: _Humidity(humidity: state.humidity),
);
}

@override
Map<String, TileResourceProvider> resources(TileContext context, WeatherInfo? state) => {
'forecast_cloudy_day': TileResources.asset("assets/weather/forecast_cloudy_day.png"),
'forecast_humidity': TileResources.asset("assets/weather/forecast_humidity.png"),
'location': TileResources.asset("assets/weather/location.png"),
};
}

Notice of the tile is on the watch tiles carousal between other tiles (Tile Magic 😵).
