Step 1: Install Flutter and FlutterFlow
Before we create a custom feedback widget on your FlutterFlower app, first you need to install Flutter and FlutterFlow. Flutter is a UI framework from Google, which we will use to create our custom widgets, while FlutterFlow is a tool that can help us design applications faster by using their custom prebuilt UI components.
Step 2: Define your Custom Feedback Widget
Create a new file named feedback_widget.dart
in your Flutter project. This is where the logic and UI for your custom feedback widget will be written.
Start by importing Flutter package to your Dart file
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
Then, define the widget:
class FeedbackWidget extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_FeedbackWidgetState createState() => _FeedbackWidgetState();
}
class _FeedbackWidgetState extends State<FeedbackWidget> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container();
}
}
This is the skeleton for your custom feedback widget. It's recommended to use StatefulWidget
for a feedback widget since user feedback could change the state of your widget.
Step 3: Define the Structure of the Feedback Widget
We will now add some structure to your feedback widget. For our example, we'll use a simple layout containing a text and an icon button.
class _FeedbackWidgetState extends State<FeedbackWidget> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: [
Text('Was this helpful?'),
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.thumb_up),
onPressed: () {
// handle positive feedback
}
),
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.thumb_down),
onPressed: () {
// handle negative feedback
}
)
]
);
}
}
This will display a row with a text asking 'Was this helpful?' and two buttons, one for positive feedback (thumbs up) and one for negative feedback (thumbs down).
Step 4: Implement Feedback Logic
With your structure in place, you're now ready to add functionality to your widget buttons.
class _FeedbackWidgetState extends State<FeedbackWidget> {
void handlePositiveFeedback() {
print('Positive feedback received');
}
void handleNegativeFeedback() {
print('Negative feedback received');
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: [
Text('Was this helpful?'),
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.thumb_up),
onPressed: handlePositiveFeedback,
),
IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.thumb_down),
onPressed: handleNegativeFeedback,
)
]
);
}
}
This implementation just prints a statement in the console whenever a feedback button is pressed. In your app, this could be posting the feedback to your application server or any other action that you decide.
Step 5: Use the Feedback Widget in Your Apps
With all that, your custom feedback widget is ready for use. You can now import it to the required pages and customize it further as you deem fit.
Here's an example of how you can use your widget:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:your_package/feedback_widget.dart';
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: FeedbackWidget(),
),
),
);
}
}
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
That's it! You have created a simple feedback widget and used it in your Flutter app. You can customize and extend this widget to better fit the requirements of your specific app.
