Installation

Add gamma_smart_pagination: ^1.0.4 to your pubspec.yaml dependencies. And import it:

import 'package:gamma_smart_pagination/gamma_smart_pagination.dart';

How to use

1. Simply create a GammaSmartPagination widget.
2. Wrap it around any scrollable widget (ListView / GridView).
3. Pass it the required GammaController and ScrollController along with any other available params.

Tip: Keep in mind that GammaSmartPagination is actually a SingleChildScrollView, so be mindful to not have unbounded height in the parent widget. (ListViews wrapped with GammaSmartPagination need to have shrinkWrap:true and NeverScrollableScrollPhysics.)

  const ExampleApp({super.key});

  @override
  State<ExampleApp> createState() => _ExampleAppState();
}

class _ExampleAppState extends State<ExampleApp> {

  ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();

  List<String> itemsList = [];
  bool isLoading = false;

  void initState() {
    fetchItems();
    super.initState();

Params

GammaSmartPagination(
  key: const Key('firstScreenInfinitePagination'),
  // Required (for status updates)
  gammaSmartController: GammaController(),
  // Required (for triggering load more when scrolled to bottom)
  scrollController: ScrollController(),
  // The amount of space by which to trigger reload when scroll reaches the end of the list.
  scrollSensitivityTrigger: 200.0,
  // Future<void> Callback when pull to refresh is triggered
  onRefresh: () => refreshItems(),
  // Future<void> Callback when user scrolls to the bottom of the list
  onLoadMore: () => loadMore(),
  // Required
  itemCount: itemsList.length,
  // Required (Usually a ListView or GridView)
  // IMPORTANT:
  // shrinkWrap: true
  // physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
  //
  // This is required because the GammaSmartPagination
  // is a SingleChildScrollView, and any nested scrollable
  // should be NON-scrollable, and shrink wrap set to true
  // where needed
  child: ListView.builder(
    shrinkWrap: true,
    physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
    itemCount: itemsList.length,
    itemBuilder: (context, index) {

        title: Text(itemsList[index]),

  // This is an optional header widget
  header: Container(
    height: 300.0,
    color: Colors.orange,
  ),
  noInitialDataWidget: Text('No data loaded'),
  noMoreDataWidget: Text('No more data to load'),
  loadingFailedWidget: Text('Failed to load more items...'),
