GifView

Load GIF|APNG images and can set framerate

Features

With GifView you can load GIF images of easy way and can configure frameRate.

• Load from Assets;
• Load from Network;
• Load from Memory;
• Set frame rate;
• Set progress while loading GIF

Getting started

Add gif_view as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Usage

GIF from Asset

  GifView.asset(
    'assets/gif1.gif',
    height: 200,
    width: 200,
    frameRate: 30, 
  )

GIF from Network

  GifView.network(
    'https://www.showmetech.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/happy-minion-gif.gif',
    height: 200,
    width: 200,
  )

GIF from Memory

  GifView.memory(
    _bytes,
    height: 200,
    width: 200,
  )

Atributes

Controller

  GifController controller = GifController();

  controller.play({bool? inverted, int? initialFrame});

  controller.pause();

  controller.stop();

  controller.seek(34);

  GifStatus status = controller.status;
  // GifStatus { loading, playing, stoped, paused, reversing }

Controller use simple example

class MyPage extends StatelessWidget {
  final controller = GifController();
  MyPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: GifView.network(
        'https://www.showmetech.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/happy-minion-gif.gif',
        controller: controller,
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          if (controller.status == GifStatus.playing) {
            controller.pause();
          } else {
            controller.play();
          }
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

Cache Management

Pre-fetching Images

GifView provides a static preFetch method to load and cache GIF images ahead of time for better performance:

// Pre-fetch single or multiple GIFs
// Asset
await GifView.preFetch(AssetImage('my/path/item.gif'));
// Network
await GifView.preFetch(NetworkImage('http://my/path/item.gif'));
// Memory
await GifView.preFetch(MemoryImage(Uint8List()));
// File
await GifView.preFetch(FileImage(File()));

Custom Cache Provider

You can implement your own caching strategy by setting a custom cache provider:

// Create custom provider
class MyCustomCacheProvider implements GifCacheProvider {
  @override
  Future<void> add(String key, Uint8List bytes) async {
    // Custom cache implementation
  }

  @override
  Future<Uint8List?> get(String key) async {
    // Custom retrieval implementation
  }

  @override
  Future<void> clear() async {
    // Custom clear implementation
  }
}

// Set custom provider
GifView.setCacheProvider(MyCustomCacheProvider());

// Revert to default provider
GifView.setCacheProvider(null);
