SliverFloatingHeader

[Kavantix]

A sliver that acts like a SliverToBoxAdapter when the user scrolls towards the leading edge but acts like a pinned header when the user scrolls back

Requirements:

• [ ] Size of header is determined by its child
• [ ] The header scrolls back interactively

Questions:

• What should the behavior be when multiple of these headers are added to a viewport
• What if this is combined with a regular pinned header before/after it

I found a widget that acts like you described: https://gist.github.com/tomaszpolanski/cf0edb7961d2304c2f293da9971cd4c9

@obiwanzenobi thanks for linking that gist. I think I already looked at this one, it indeed might be a good starting point. Can I assume you are looking for a widget with this behavior? If so do you perhaps have input on the two questions I posed?

Was about to open an enhancement request till I saw this. Is there any such functionality like this within the sliver_tools package?

I have a NestedScrollView whose headerSliverBuilder returns a SliverPersistentHeader and a SliverPinnedHeader but I want the pinned header to hide when we scroll to the bottom but show itself when we scroll to the top. This is basically the floating functionality on SliverAppBar and the functionality described here.

I tried using the gist provided but its fairly outdated and didn't seem to work.

I actually use this to achieve a certain behaviour. Regarding your questions I think it already behaves like I would expect it.

Regarding your questions

What if this is combined with a regular pinned header before/after it If all FloatingHeader are in a Group of PersistentHeaders (Pinned, Floating) In that case the FloatingHeader should scroll away but not be effecting by Overscroll Effects when dragging down For example

What should the behavior be when multiple of these headers are added to a viewport If there is a non persistent Sliver between multiple of these headers it should behave more or less like a SliverToBoxAdapter

I tried the example in the gist of tomaszpolanski and for me it actually works well. In fact I merged the SliverPinnedHeader of this package and the code of that gist and created an hybrid that takes a parameter named floating that triggers the floating behavior. I used it in a real scenario with the first sliver header set as floating and the second one pinned (without setting floating: true) and it works fine.

Here the new widget that I named SliverFlexibleHeader: https://gist.github.com/marcoredz/b2a37ff2cd11f81fa4ff7fb004fbb0ab

@Kavantix any opinions about this? maybe it could be a nice feature to add to your package

[Kavantix]

@marcoredz I took a quick look at your implementation and it looks like a good starting point. You can open a PR for it if you want

[marcoredz]

@Kavantix what do you suggest between: taking the existing SliverPinnedHeader and editing it, or creating a new widget?

[Kavantix]

I would create a new one for this

It doesn't work when it's put inside MultiSliver or SliverMainAxisGroup
