Purpose of gallerize package

[WieFel]

Time to spin-off the components of demo app that could be reused by other package maintainer to build similar "demo" app.

Here are some pointers/questions about it:

• What should we call it? - demo_maker, demoize, gallerize, or something else (suggest in comment)
• @WieFel I suggest you be the primary maintainer of the project and repo.
• Some feature still needs to be implemented to make it like gallery app - having toggle for fullscreen/mobile view. Although this is non-blocking, could be implemented in future.
• The proposed package should also be submitted to fluttercommunity org.
• backdrop - should use the planned package for it's demo app.

Taken over issue fluttercommunity/backdrop#62 (comment) by @daadu

This issue should be a starting point where I will list the basic features of the package and it's structure. Of course, anything is open for discussion.

Firstly, please reserve the name on pub.dev with blank project

Package overview

The general idea would be to take the structure already used in https://github.com/fluttercommunity/backdrop/tree/master/demo/lib/demo:

• GallerizePage as the main widget which can be used to create a demo app.
• GallerizePage is further structured into three "tabs" GallerizeInfo, GallerizePreview and GallerizeCode.
• GallerizePage has the following properties:
  • title: title (string) to be displayed within Info. (could be replaced by customizable Widget)
  • description: description (string) to be displayed within Info. (could be replaced by customizable Widget)
  • codeFile: path to the .dart file containing the code to be shown in the Code tab.
  • preview: widget to be displayed within the Preview tab.
  • highlightingTheme: the syntax highlighting theme for the code, defaults to dracula.

Furthermore:

• the two themes (light+dark) used within the Flutter Gallery app can be reused.

I suggest going with Gallery or Gallerize prefix for widgets.

Oh, you're right :D didn't think about that...

@daadu what do you think of readme.md?
I think the package will soon be ready for first release. What do you think?

[daadu]

LGTM.

More section (suggestion) in README:

• TODO
• Contribution Guideline

More guide/feature in README (add in TODO, if not figured out yet):

• Github Pages + Github Action Setup - to host the gallery, with CD - any push to master branch triggers flutter build web -> commit/createPR to gh-pages branch -> changes reflected to "Github Pages"
• Add "Gallery" Shield - which users can put in their README

[daadu]

I suggest using "Flutter package for creating Flutter Gallery like gallery/demo for your package/widget." as short description instead of "Flutter package for creating a gallery (demo) of your package/widget.".

Add "multi-screen size support" in TODO

[WieFel]

Add "multi-screen size support" in TODO

with this you mean "toggle for fullscreen/mobile view", right @daadu ?
