Usage

Here is a simple example to construct a basic vertical timeline using the Column component, which displays a list of FUITimelineTile objects:

Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start, children: [ FUITimelineTile( alignment: TimelineAlign.manual, lineXY: 0.2, // The horizontal position of the line (0 - most left, 1 - most right) isFirst: true, hasIndicator: true, indicatorXY: 0, // The vertical position of the line (0 - most top, 1 - most bottom) startChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the left')), endChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the right')), ), FUITimelineTile( alignment: TimelineAlign.manual, lineXY: 0.2, indicatorXY: 0, hasIndicator: true, startChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the left')), endChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the right')), ), FUITimelineTile( alignment: TimelineAlign.manual, lineXY: 0.2, indicatorXY: 0, hasIndicator: true, isLast: true, startChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the left')), endChild: SizedBox(height: 100, child: Text('Some data on the right')), ), ], );

Please observe that the alignment property is set to TimelineAlign.manual, which grants us greater flexibility in the lineXY parameter.

What is lineXY?

The lineXY parameter determines the position bias of the indicator and the line.

Consider a vertical timeline as an example.

If the indicator and line are to be positioned to the leftmost, the value should be set to 0.

If they are to be positioned to the rightmost, the value should be set to 1.

For the center position, the value should be assigned to 0.5.

You may explore any fractional values between 0 and 1 to determine the optimal position.

What is indicatorXY?

Once again, let’s consider a vertical timeline as an example. The indicatorXY parameter determines the position of the indicator, whether it should be placed at the top or bottom.

If the indicatorXY value is set to 0, the indicator will be positioned at the top.

Conversely, if the indicatorXY value is set to 1, the indicator will be positioned at the bottom.

For a middle position, you can simply set the indicatorXY value to 0.5.

You can further explore fractional values between 0 and 1 to determine the optimal position for your indicator.

First FUITimelineTile

If the FUITimelineTile is the first to appear, setting the isFirst parameter to true will remove the line at the beginning.

Last FUITimelineTile

If the FUITimelineTile is the final element to be displayed, setting the isLast parameter to true will eliminate the trailing line.

Different Indicator

The default indicator is a dot-styled indicator. If a custom indicator is desired (e.g., an icon or a widget), it can be achieved by defining the indicatorStyle widget, as follows:

FUITimelineTile( ... hasIndicator: true, indicatorStyle: IndicatorStyle( indicator: Center( child: FUIButtonBlockCircleIcon( fuiButtonSize: FUIButtonSize.small, icon: const Icon(LineAwesome.check_solid), onPressed: () {}, )), padding: <some padding>, height: <some height>, width: <some width>, ), ... );

Other Parameters

Most parameters corresponds to the TimelineTile from the https://pub.dev/packages/timeline_tile package. Please refer to it for more info.
