How do I install packages and package plugins? |
Flutter supports using shared packages contributed by other developers to the |
Flutter and Dart ecosystems. This allows you to quickly build your app without |
having to develop everything from scratch. Packages that contain |
platform-specific code are known as package plugins.In React Native, you would use yarn add {package-name} or |
npm install --save {package-name} to install packages |
from the command line.In Flutter, install a package using the following instructions: |
<code_start>import 'package:flutter/material.dart';<code_end> |
For more information, see Using Packages and |
Developing Packages & Plugins.You can find many packages shared by Flutter developers in the |
Flutter packages section of pub.dev.<topic_end> |

Flutter widgets |
In Flutter, you build your UI out of widgets that describe what their view |
should look like given their current configuration and state.Widgets are often composed of many small, |
single-purpose widgets that are nested to produce powerful effects. |
For example, the Container widget consists of |
several widgets responsible for layout, painting, positioning, and sizing. |
Specifically, the Container widget includes the LimitedBox, |
ConstrainedBox, Align, Padding, DecoratedBox, and Transform widgets. |
Rather than subclassing Container to produce a customized effect, you can |
compose these and other simple widgets in new and unique ways.The Center widget is another example of how you can control the layout. |
To center a widget, wrap it in a Center widget and then use layout |
widgets for alignment, row, columns, and grids. |
These layout widgets do not have a visual representation of their own. |
Instead, their sole purpose is to control some aspect of another |
widget’s layout. To understand why a widget renders in a |
certain way, it’s often helpful to inspect the neighboring widgets.For more information, see the Flutter Technical Overview.For more information about the core widgets from the Widgets package, |
see Flutter Basic Widgets, |
the Flutter Widget Catalog, |
or the Flutter Widget Index.<topic_end> |

What is the equivalent of the View container? |
In React Native, View is a container that supports layout with Flexbox, |
style, touch handling, and accessibility controls.In Flutter, you can use the core layout widgets in the Widgets |
library, such as Container, Column, |
Row, and Center. |
For more information, see the Layout Widgets catalog.<topic_end> |

What is the equivalent of FlatList or SectionList? |
A List is a scrollable list of components arranged vertically.In React Native, FlatList or SectionList are used to render simple or |
sectioned lists.ListView is Flutter’s most commonly used scrolling widget. |
The default constructor takes an explicit list of children. |
ListView is most appropriate for a small number of widgets. |
For a large or infinite list, use ListView.builder, |
which builds its children on demand and only builds |
those children that are visible. |
<code_start>var data = [ |
'Hello', |
'World', |
]; |
return ListView.builder( |
itemCount: data.length, |
itemBuilder: (context, index) { |
return Text(data[index]); |
}, |
);<code_end> |
To learn how to implement an infinite scrolling list, see the official |
infinite_list sample.<topic_end> |

How do I use a Canvas to draw or paint? |
In React Native, canvas components aren’t present |
so third party libraries like react-native-canvas are used.In Flutter, you can use the CustomPaint |
and CustomPainter classes to draw to the canvas.The following example shows how to draw during the paint phase using the |
CustomPaint widget. It implements the abstract class, CustomPainter, |
and passes it to CustomPaint’s painter property. |
CustomPaint subclasses must implement the paint() |
and shouldRepaint() methods. |
<code_start>class MyCanvasPainter extends CustomPainter { |
const MyCanvasPainter(); |
@override |
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) { |
final Paint paint = Paint()..color = Colors.amber; |
canvas.drawCircle(const Offset(100, 200), 40, paint); |
final Paint paintRect = Paint()..color = Colors.lightBlue; |
final Rect rect = Rect.fromPoints( |
const Offset(150, 300), |
const Offset(300, 400), |
); |
canvas.drawRect(rect, paintRect); |
} |
@override |
bool shouldRepaint(MyCanvasPainter oldDelegate) => false; |
} |
class MyCanvasWidget extends StatelessWidget { |
const MyCanvasWidget({super.key}); |
@override |
Widget build(BuildContext context) { |
return const Scaffold( |
body: CustomPaint(painter: MyCanvasPainter()), |
); |
} |
