leaf_widgets
Leaf UI widgets — zero external dependencies.
LeafViewer— a self-contained, photo_view-style fullscreen viewer: clamped zoom + pan, swipe-to-dismiss, double-tap zoom, mouse-wheel zoom, native keyboard controls and tap-outside dismissal. Desktop + mobile behaviour out of the box.LeafZoomable— opt-in per-page zoom wrapper forLeafViewer(also usable standalone); auto-sizes itself from an image's pixel dimensions viaLeafZoomable.image.LeafZoomController— the zoom/pan state machine behind both (clamped, fling, double-tap staging, wheel zoom).- Plus:
LeafContextMenu,LeafPopover,LeafImage,AnimatedFavoriteButton,AnimatedStar.
Features
- Clamped zoom (1x–maxScale) and pan (corners cannot escape the viewport)
- Edge-release: a drag at a fully zoomed-out, fully clamped position pages or dismisses instead of panning (gesture-arena based, no raw pointer routing)
- Mobile: swipe to page, drag perpendicular to dismiss, double-tap zooms (1x → contained → 1:1 when dimensions are known)
- Desktop (Windows/Linux/macOS): mouse-wheel zoom (cursor-anchored), no drag
paging/dismiss/double-tap by default, default on-screen controls
(previous/next, close, page counter) — or your own via
controlsBuilder - Keyboard when focused: ←/→ (or ↑/↓ for vertical paging) + Esc dismiss
(opt-out with
enableKeyboard: false) - Tap outside the active image fires
onTapOutside LeafZoomable.image: pixel dimensions extracted from the image stream at load time — contained size and 1:1 double-tap step work without passing anything (falls back to viewport clamping until decoded)
Getting started
Add to pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
leaf_widgets:
path: ../leaf_widgets
Usage
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:leaf_widgets/leaf_widgets.dart';
class PostViewer extends StatelessWidget {
const PostViewer({super.key, required this.posts});
final List<String> urls;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.black,
body: LeafViewer(
pageCount: urls.length,
onDismissed: () => Navigator.of(context).maybePop(),
pageBuilder: (context, index) => LeafZoomable.image(
image: Image.network(
urls[index],
fit: BoxFit.contain,
errorBuilder: (context, error, stackTrace) =>
const Center(child: Icon(Icons.broken_image, color: Colors.white38)),
),
),
),
);
}
}
That is the full viewer: paging, clamped zoom/pan, swipe-dismiss, double-tap (1:1 included — the pixel dimensions are resolved automatically), wheel zoom, keyboard, tap-outside, and desktop controls.
Sizing control
LeafZoomable sizes the zoom clamp itself when possible:
LeafZoomable.imageresolves the image's pixel dimensions from its stream (no second download — the image cache dedupes) and uses them for the contained size and the 1:1 stage.- Plain
LeafZoomable(child: ...)clamps against the viewport until you pass explicit sizes:
// Contained (fit-to-screen) render size + full-resolution size.
LeafZoomable(
childSize: myContainedSize, // optional — defaults to the viewport
originalSize: myFullSize, // optional — null disables the 1:1 stage
child: myWidget,
)
Custom chrome
LeafViewer(
pageCount: urls.length,
controlsBuilder: (context, controls) => Row(
children: [
IconButton(
onPressed: controls.canGoPrevious ? () => controls.goToPage(controls.currentIndex - 1) : null,
icon: const Icon(Icons.chevron_left),
),
Text('${controls.currentIndex + 1} / ${controls.pageCount}'),
],
),
pageBuilder: (context, index) => /* ... */,
)
Platforms
- Touch: swipe paging, perpendicular drag dismiss, double-tap zoom.
- Desktop: wheel zoom, keyboard, default controls; swipe gestures are off
unless
enableSwipeGestures: trueforces them on. scrollDirectionflips paging to vertical; the dismiss gesture then runs along the other axis.

Video
Player-agnostic video kit — the app picks an engine by implementing one ~80-line adapter; page, lifecycle, and controls come free.
VideoPlayerAdapter(lib/src/video/leaf_video_adapter.dart) — the only seam:surface,load(url, headers), play/pause/seek, position/buffer/ playing/ready/error streams + sync getters,dispose(). Implementations live outside this package so it stays dependency-free. TheHasVolumemixin adds volume for adapters that support it; controls show volume UI only then.LeafVideoPage— owns the full lifecycle: neighbor pages preload paused, settled page autoplays, route-cover/background pause with resume-if-was-playing, error/retry, thumbnail untilreadyStream. Works standalone (always-active, permanent controls), but single-active gating needs aLeafViewerancestor.controlsBuilderdefaults to touch controls on mobile, desktop controls on desktop.LeafVideoControls— touch-first: double-tap thirds seek, tap toggles chrome, scrubber + time + fullscreen slot.LeafDesktopVideoControls— click toggles (immediateonTapDown, sinceonTapwould wait out the double-tap timeout on every click), double-click fullscreen, self-hiding bar + cursor, hover time bubble, volume slider whenHasVolume.LeafScrubber— shared scrubber (buffer/position tracks, tap-to-seek, drag-to-scrub, optional knob + hover preview); public for custom bars.VideoLifecycleGuard— background + route-cover pause for custom viewers that don't useLeafVideoPage. Callback-driven (isPlaying/onPause/onResume,onResumenullable for pause-only consumers). Cover detection viaModalRoute.isCurrent(noRouteObserverneeded); callbacks fire post-frame so they may call ancestorsetState.FirstFrameGate— caps concurrent first-frame decodes across feed tiles (default 2).await enter()before opening media,exit()on frame, playback start, or dispose. Pure logic, headless-tested.
Thumbnail is always app-provided (thumbnail: slot) — BlurHash, API
preview, or nothing (spinner). Volume persistence, engine toggles, and the
concrete adapters are app-side (see video_adapter_media_kit).
Tests: test/video/ runs fake-adapter widget tests (gating, retry,
thumbnail-drop, cover flow, guard, desktop controls, gate). Fake-timer
note: pump a duration after taps — gesture deadlines don't advance alone.
