Prerequisites

Before starting the tutorial, make sure you:

1. Have Flutter installed on your machine.
2. Have a basic understanding of Dart programming language and Flutter development.
3. Have a project created with Flutter.

Installation and Configuration

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Add the following dependencies to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  onboarding_fly: ^1.2.0
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

1. Run flutter pub get to fetch the package.

2. Create a new file called main.dart in your project's root directory and copy the following code:

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

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Onboarding Fly Example',
      home: OnboardingFly(
        content: [
          OnboardingSlide(
            title: 'Slide 1 Title',
            description: 'This is slide 1 description',
            image: AssetImage('assets/slide1_image.png'),
            actions: [
              TextButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  // This will navigate to the second slide
                  Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('slide2');
                },
                child: Text('Next'),
              ),
            ],
          ),
          // Add more slides as needed
        ],
        backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      ),
    );
  }
}

1. Create a new folder assets in your project's root directory and add your onboarding slides images there.

2. Add the following lines to your pubspec.yaml file under the flutter section:

assets:
  - assets/slide1_image.png
  - assets/slide2_image.png
 ...

1. Run flutter pub get to fetch the assets.

Customization and Theming

Customize the onboarding process by changing the colors, fonts, and styles as needed. You can adjust the backgroundColor and primaryColor to match your app's branding:

OnboardingFly(
  content: [...],
  backgroundColor: Colors.grey[100], // Custom background color
  primaryColor: Colors.blue[800], // Custom primary color
),

You can also customize the onboarding card style:

OnboardingFly(
  content: [...],
  cardStyle: CardStyle(
    elevation: 8.0,
    shadowColor: Colors.blue[200],
    contentPadding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
  ),
),

Navigation and Control Flow

Use the Navigator to navigate through the onboarding slides. You can also use named routes to navigate between the slides:

OnboardingFly(
  content: [...],
  navigator: Navigator(
    onGenerateRoute: (settings) {
      switch (settings.name) {
        case 'slide2':
          return MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Slide2());
        case 'slide3':
          return MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Slide3());
        default:
          return MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => Slide1());
      }
    },
  ),
),

Content Preparation and Placement

Prepare your onboarding content by creating separate widget files for each slide:

// Slide 1 widget
class Slide1 extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text(
          'Slide 1',
          style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

You can then use the OnboardingSlide to render the slide content:

OnboardingSlide(
  title: 'Slide 1 Title',
  description: 'This is slide 1 description',
  image: AssetImage('assets/slide1_image.png'),
  actions: [
    TextButton(
      onPressed: () {
        // Navigate to the next slide
        Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('slide2');
      },
      child: Text('Next'),
    ),
  ],
  child: Slide1(),
),

Testing and Debugging

Debug your onboarding process using the Flutter's built-in debugging tools:

1. Run your app on an emulator or physical device.
2. Use the "Hot Reload" feature to see changes in real-time.
3. Use the "Inspect" feature to inspect the UI elements.
4. Use the console to check for any error messages.
