A flutter package which contains a collection of some cool and awesome text animations. Recommended package for text animations in Codemagic's Ebook, "Flutter libraries we love". Try out our live example app.
Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
animated_text_kit: ^4.2.2You can install packages from the command line:
with pub:
$ pub get
with Flutter:
$ flutter pub get
Now in your Dart code, you can use:
import 'package:animated_text_kit/animated_text_kit.dart';AnimatedTextKit is a Stateful Widget that produces text animations.
Include it in your build method like:
AnimatedTextKit(
animatedTexts: [
TypewriterAnimatedText(
'Hello world!',
textStyle: const TextStyle(
fontSize: 32.0,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
speed: const Duration(milliseconds: 2000),
),
],
totalRepeatCount: 4,
pause: const Duration(milliseconds: 1000),
displayFullTextOnTap: true,
stopPauseOnTap: true,
)It has many configurable properties, including:
pause– the time of the pause between animation textsdisplayFullTextOnTap– tapping the animation will rush it to completionisRepeatingAnimation– controls whether the animation repeatsrepeatForever– controls whether the animation repeats forevertotalRepeatCount– number of times the animation should repeat (whenrepeatForeverisfalse)
There are also custom callbacks:
onTap– This is called when a user taps the animated textonNext(int index, bool isLast)– This is called before the next text animation, after the previous one's pauseonNextBeforePause(int index, bool isLast)– This is called before the next text animation, before the previous one's pauseonFinished- This is called at the end, when the parameterisRepeatingAnimationis set tofalse
Note: You might come up with an issue that the text does not get updated with setState as shown here. The solution to this, is a key that changes based on the text. For reference, watch this video.
Version 3 refactored the code so that common animation controls were moved to
AnimatedTextKit and all animations, except for TextLiquidFill, extend from
AnimatedText. This saved hundreds of lines of duplicate code, increased
consistency across animations, and makes it easier to create new animations.
It also makes the animations more flexible because multiple animations may now be easily combined. For example:
AnimatedTextKit(
animatedTexts: [
FadeAnimatedText(
'Fade First',
textStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 32.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),
ScaleAnimatedText(
'Then Scale',
textStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 70.0, fontFamily: 'Canterbury'),
),
],
),Using the legacy FadeAnimatedTextKit is equivalent to using AnimatedTextKit with FadeAnimatedText.
An advantage of AnimatedTextKit is that the animatedTexts may be any subclass of AnimatedText, while using FadeAnimatedTextKit essentially restricts you to using just FadeAnimatedText.
Have you noticed that animation classes come in pairs?
For example, there is FadeAnimatedText and FadeAnimatedTextKit.
The significant refactoring with Version 3 split the original FadeAnimatedTextKit into FadeAnimatedText and a re-usable AnimatedTextKit, then FadeAnimatedTextKit was adjusted for backwards compatibility.
When introducing a new AnimationText subclass, you may wonder if you also need to also introduce an additional Kit class. The answer is NO. 🎉
Going forward, we are championing the adoption of the Version 3 approach, and have deprecated the legacy Kit classes.
This will make creating new animations easier.
We know it makes some legacy code more verbose, but the flexibility and simplicity is a conscious trade-off.
Many animations are provided, but you can also create your own animations.

),
);You can easily create your own animations by creating new classes that extend
AnimatedText, just like most animations in this package. You will need to
implement:
- Class constructor – Initializes animation parameters.
initAnimation– InitializesAnimationinstances and binds them to the givenAnimationController.animatedBuilder– Builder method to return aWidgetbased onAnimationvalues.completeText– Returns theWidgetto display once the animation is complete. (The default implementation returns a styledTextwidget.)
Then use AnimatedTextKit to display the custom animated text class like:
AnimatedTextKit(
animatedTexts: [
CustomAnimatedText(
'Insert Text Here',
textStyle: const TextStyle(
fontSize: 32.0,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
),
],
),If you encounter any problems feel free to open an issue. If you feel the library is missing a feature, please raise a ticket on GitHub and I'll look into it. Pull request are also welcome.
