custom bottomNavigationBar help need in flutter to call pages into view


I have a working page of code that I wanted to modify for my portfolio. I used this YouTube https://youtu.be/1ToqYMSnNhA and git https://github.com/retroportalstudio/flutter_bnb_v2 to make my design, but now I can't get my pages to call in.

working Code I used...

Solution

  • You code seems ok, except for the optimisations needed. You are not able to see the change of page as for the usage of Stack in the bottomNavigationBar. The Stack here covers the entire viewport and the sub pages in the body goes behind.

    Wrap the Stack with a SizedBox as below:

    SizedBox(
            height: 100,
            child: Stack(
              children: [
                Positioned(
    

    This will help you to see the page contents.

    I suggest some optimisation as below:

      late List<Map<String, Widget>> _pages;
    

    For the body:

     body: Column(
            children: [
              Expanded(
                child: Column(
                  children: [
                    _pages[_selectedPageIndex]['page']!,
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
    

    Here is build method code after removing some variables:

    @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        // final themeState = Provider.of<DarkThemeProvider>(context);
        print('rebuild with $_selectedPageIndex');
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            toolbarHeight: 40,
            backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
            elevation: 3.0,
            centerTitle: true,
          ),
          body: Column(
            children: [
              Expanded(
                child: Column(
                  children: [
                    _pages[_selectedPageIndex]['page']!,
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
          bottomNavigationBar: SizedBox(
            height: 100,
            child: Stack(
              children: [
                Positioned(
                  bottom: 0,
                  left: 0,
                  child: Container(
                    width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
                    height: 90,
                    child: Stack(
                      clipBehavior: Clip.none,
                      children: [
                        CustomPaint(

                          painter: BNBCustomPainter(),
                        ),
                        Center(

    And the _pages List I used to test

    _pages = [
          {
            'page': Container(
              color: Colors.orange,
              child: Text('Page 1'),
            ),
          },
          {
            'page': Container(
              color: Colors.indigo,
              child: Text('Page 2'),
            ),
          },
          {
            'page': Container(
              color: Colors.blue,
              child: Text('Page 3'),
            ),
          },
          {
            'page': Container(
              color: Colors.purple,
              child: Text(
                'Page 4',
              ),
            ),
          },
          {
            'page': Container(
              color: Colors.red,
              child: Text('Page 5'),
            ),
          },
        ];
