Add the Flutter Gradients library to awesome-flutter

I'll mark this as follow. I'm interested to see if you can merge lot of meaningful gradients and colors.
A complete suite for working with colors is interesting but some named gradient or colors is limited because soon devs want anothers theme and there's not enough entries in the libs.

[JonathanMonga]

For now, there is only 180 entries in the lib.

[Solido]

There's still something that I do not understand !

If I go to web gradient I can copy the css and then past it in my app. Maybe in the future I can also export as flutter code. Like a pixel picker this is useful.

But why would I import a package full of gradients in my apps ? Even I as a designer doesn't understand the use case which is the main goal of awesome list.

Can anyone help me clarify this ?

[JonathanMonga]

Okay...
Exactly... It absurd to include that package in your app.

[JonathanMonga]

I understand now.

[renancaraujo]

I don't think there is absurdity at all by using this package.

But why would I import a package full of gradients in my apps?

Convenience? Just like Colors, having this ton of very beautiful gradients ready to be used without having to worry with directions stop points can be pretty useful for some use cases.

We have only gains here since app bundle size impact is very small to none.

[JonathanMonga]

Thanks @renancaraujo.

[Solido]

I try but I'm still not convinced. Are you telling me that you import 180 gradients just to not configure one or copy paste the parameters from a generator ?

[renancaraujo]

The same goes for Colors on the material which has some hundreds of colors but all available here: https://material.io/design/color/#tools-for-picking-colors. It is convenient to use for some people.

Fact 1: Recently I found myself willing to recreate natural sky gradients for sunrises, noon and sunset wich some variations. I got to seek for every gradient and pick params (color stops, directions, gradient type, etc) and set for each of my 20-ish gradients. That was a pain in the bottom 😅. This package right there would have saved me from that.

Fact 2: Webgradients is cool

Fact 3: the package has already 131 stars form the community with only a couple of weeks of existence.

[JonathanMonga]

I think it's not enough to convince @Solido.
😆...

For him, this package contains many gradients.

[renancaraujo]

@JonathanMonga That's not the attitude man, we are all being reasonable here and I understand why he is careful on adding something to the awesome list due to its importance to the community.

[Solido]

You'll always get sincerity from me ;)

I believe two stuffs right now

• Web gradients should export as dart/flutter gradient, this is the best use case

• You should keep working on colour ! there's a lot of libs / widgets that are so required

Have a look at this tools https://coolors.co/ this would make to awesome without doubt because you can truly tune a UI. Having a lib to put inside an app or an external tool will do miracle for designers !

[JonathanMonga]

Sorry @renancaraujo,

I will really pay attention to what @Solido has just proposed.

And thanks for suggestions.
