Usage #

For adding the SmoothSort in your Flutter app, you have to simply provide the options for ListView or GridView with the list of the widgets to be displayed in the list/grid with the another list of their corresponding itemIds.

For example: First create the object for SmoothSort

SmoothSort smoothSort = SmoothSort(
	listType: 'list',	 // specify the listType i.e. list or grid
	ascendant: true,	// sort ascending or descending
	itemList: [  
	  Container(  
	    color: Colors.red,  
	    alignment: Alignment.center,  
		child: Text(  
		    "A",  
	        style: TextStyle(fontSize: 150.0),  
		    ),  
	  ),  
	  Container(  
	    color: Colors.blueAccent,  
	    alignment: Alignment.center,  
	    child: Text(  
		    "B",  
	        style: TextStyle(fontSize: 150.0),  
			),  
	  ),  
	  Container(  
	    color: Colors.yellowAccent,  
	    alignment: Alignment.center,  
	    child: Text(  
		    "C",  
	        style: TextStyle(fontSize: 150.0),  
			),  
	  ),   
	],					// specify the list of widgets for the ListView/GridView
	itemIdList: [1, 2, 0],		// specify the corresponding ids for widgets	
	animationType: 'cardScale'	// specify the type of animation you want
);

Whenever you want to add the list or grid, just add the above widget as follows:

Column(  
  children: <Widget>[  
    smoothSort	// just add the SmoothSort object
  ],
),

After this, just call the smoothSort.onPress() method to start the animation for sorting the list/grid just like this:

RaisedButton(  
  child: Text("Sort"),  
  onPressed: () {  
    smoothSort.onPress();	// just call the onPress method
  },  
)

For more info, please refer to the main.dart in example.

Algorithm #

The algorithm used to build this project is as follows:

I have sorted the ListView or GridView with single TextView by using the default sort function by Dart language. On clicking of the sort button, I have provided different animations to the ListView or GridView according to the animation described by the user.

For more info, please refer to the smooth_sort.dart.
