1- Flutter FancyBottomNavigation

There are plenty of libraries provided by the Flutter community that help you create a navigation bar similar to the BottomNavigationBar, and one of them is FacyBottomNavigation.

FancyBottomNavigation Constructor


FancyBottomNavigation(
    {Key key,
    @required List<TabData> tabs,
    @required Function(int position) onTabChangedListener,
    int initialSelection = 0,
    Color circleColor,
    Color activeIconColor,
    Color inactiveIconColor,
    Color textColor,
    Color barBackgroundColor}
)

FacyBottomNavigation only allows the number of Tab(s) to be greater than 1 and less than 5. That means if you want an application bar with 5 or more than 5 Tab(s), you'd better find another library.

In order to use the FacyBottomNavigation, you need to declare this library with the project. Specifically, open the pubspect.yaml file and add the following content:

pubspect.yaml


dependencies:
  ...
  fancy_bottom_navigation: ^0.3.2

You can visit the home page of the library on GitHub to get more information about the latest version:

2- FancyBottomNavigation Example

Here is a simple example of the FancyBottomNavigation:

main.dart (ex1)


import 'package:fancy_bottom_navigation/fancy_bottom_navigation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Title of Application',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        visualDensity: VisualDensity.adaptivePlatformDensity,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    return MyHomePageState();
  }
}

class MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int currentPage = 0;
  Widget _myContacts = MyContacts();
  Widget _myEmails = MyEmails();
  Widget _myProfile = MyProfile();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    FancyBottomNavigation a;
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("FancyBottomNavigation Example"),
        ),
        body: Container(
          color: Colors.black12,
          child: getPage(),
          constraints: BoxConstraints.expand(),
        ),
        bottomNavigationBar: FancyBottomNavigation(
          tabs: [
            TabData(iconData: Icons.contacts, title: "Contacts"),
            TabData(iconData: Icons.mail, title: "Emails"),
            TabData(iconData: Icons.person, title: "Profile")
          ],
          onTabChangedListener: (position) {
            setState(() {
              currentPage = position;
            });
          },
        )
    );
  }

  Widget getPage() {
    if(this.currentPage == 0) {
      return this._myContacts;
    } else if(this.currentPage==1) {
      return this._myEmails;
    } else {
      return this._myProfile;
    }
  }
}

class MyContacts extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
     return Center(child: Text("Contacts"));
  }
}

class MyEmails extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Center(child: Text("Emails"));
  }
}

class MyProfile extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Center(child: Text("Profile"));
  }
}
