Usage
Using FlutterCarousel Widget
Flutter Carousel is a carousel widget which supports infinite scrolling, auto scrolling, custom child widget, custom animations and pre-built indicators.
FlutterCarousel(
options: FlutterCarouselOptions(
height: 400.0,
showIndicator: true,
slideIndicator: CircularSlideIndicator(),
),
items: [1,2,3,4,5].map((i) {
return Builder(
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.amber
),
child: Text('text $i', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0),)
);
},
);
}).toList(),
)
Using ExpandableCarousel Widget
Expandable Carousel is a carousel widget which automatically expands to the size of its child widget. It is useful when you want to show a carousel with different sized child widgets.
ExpandableCarousel(
options: ExpandableCarouselOptions(
autoPlay: true,
autoPlayInterval: const Duration(seconds: 2),
),
items: [1,2,3,4,5].map((i) {
return Builder(
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.amber
),
child: Text('text $i', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0),)

},
);
}).toList(),
)

Build item widgets on demand
This method will save memory by building items once it becomes necessary. This way they won't be built if they're not currently meant to be visible on screen. It can be used to build different child item widgets related to content or by item index.
FlutterCarousel.builder(
itemCount: 15,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int itemIndex, int pageViewIndex) =>
Container(
child: Text(itemIndex.toString()),
),
)
ExpandableCarousel.builder(
itemCount: 15,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int itemIndex, int pageViewIndex) =>
Container(
child: Text(itemIndex.toString()),
),
)
Carousel Controller
In order to manually control the PageView's position, you can create your own FlutterCarouselController, and pass it to FlutterCarouselOptions. Then you can use the FlutterCarouselController instance to manipulate the position.
class CarouselDemo extends StatelessWidget {
FlutterCarouselController buttonCarouselController = FlutterCarouselController();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) => Column(
children: [
FlutterCarousel(
items: child,
options: FlutterCarouselOptions(
autoPlay: false,
controller: buttonCarouselController,
enlargeCenterPage: true,
viewportFraction: 0.9,
aspectRatio: 2.0,
initialPage: 2,
),
),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: () => buttonCarouselController.nextPage(
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300), curve: Curves.linear),
child: Text('→'),
)
]
);
}
FlutterCarouselController methods
.nextPage({Duration duration, Curve curve})
Animate to the next page
.previousPage({Duration duration, Curve curve})
Animate to the previous page
.jumpToPage(int page)
Jump to the given page.
