I love animations very much, but sometimes making them look "beautiful" requires a significant amount of time.

That's why I want to share a set of packages that can speed up this process:

👉🏻 animations - pre-built animations from Flutter team

👉🏻 animate_to - moves a widget from point A to point B using Overlay

👉🏻 animate_do - a collection of various ready-made animation wrappers for widgets

👉🏻 flutter_animate - similar to animate_do, but with its own features (animation synchronization with scrolling, use of shaders, etc.)

👉🏻 auto_animated - enables animating the appearance of widgets in lists

👉🏻 smooth_page_indicator - cool variations of PageView indicator animations

👉🏻 funvas - animations directly on Canvas based on mathematical functions with a cool demo

👉🏻 flutter_shaders - a utility package that simplifies working with shaders

Share packages and/or techniques that you think might also be useful in the comments 🫡

Using the example of saving a text file, the article will discuss the pros and cons and situations where a specific approach will be more beneficial than others.

The most efficient way to use supportive tools for code quality control is to integrate them with CI. Static analysis is not an exception - no analyzer, even the strictest one, will make the code base cleaner if it works only locally on the developer's machine.

📌 How to integrate static analysis into CI work is described in the article by Majid Hajian.
