# Settings UI for Flutter

[![Pub Version](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/settings_ui?color=blueviolet)](https://pub.dev/packages/settings_ui)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yako-dev/flutter-settings-ui/master/LICENSE)
[![Platform](https://img.shields.io/badge/platform-android%20%7C%20ios%20%7C%20web-lightgrey)](https://pub.dev/packages/settings_ui)

A Flutter package for building settings screens that look native on **Android**, **iOS**, and **Web** — all from a single API. The UI automatically adapts to each platform's visual style: Material for Android, Cupertino for iOS, and a card-based Web layout. Also runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and Fuchsia (macOS/Windows use the Cupertino style; Linux uses Material).

## Installing

Add to your `pubspec.yaml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
  settings_ui: ^3.0.1
```

Then import:

```dart
import 'package:settings_ui/settings_ui.dart';
```

---

## Quick start

```dart
class SettingsScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  const SettingsScreen({super.key});

@override
 State<SettingsScreen> createState() => _SettingsScreenState();
}

class _SettingsScreenState extends State<SettingsScreen> {
 bool _notificationsEnabled = true;
 bool _darkMode = false;

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Settings')),
      body: SettingsList(
        sections: [
          SettingsSection(
            title: const Text('General'),
            tiles: [
              SettingsTile.navigation(
                leading: const Icon(Icons.language),
                title: const Text('Language'),
                value: const Text('English'),
                onPressed: (context) { /* navigate */ },
              ),
            ],
          ),
          SettingsSection(
            title: const Text('Appearance'),
            tiles: [
              SettingsTile.switchTile(
                leading: const Icon(Icons.dark_mode),
                title: const Text('Dark mode'),
                initialValue: _darkMode,
                onToggle: (value) => setState(() => _darkMode = value),
              ),
              SettingsTile.switchTile(
                leading: const Icon(Icons.notifications),
                title: const Text('Notifications'),
                description: const Text('Alerts, sounds, badges'),
                initialValue: _notificationsEnabled,
                onToggle: (value) =>
                    setState(() => _notificationsEnabled = value),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
```

## Tile types

### `SettingsTile` — basic tile

A tappable tile with optional leading icon, description, and trailing widget.

```dart
SettingsTile(
  leading: const Icon(Icons.storage),
  title: const Text('Storage'),
  description: const Text('30% used — 5.60 GB free'),
  onPressed: (context) { /* ... */ },
)
```

### `SettingsTile.navigation` — navigation tile

Adds a platform-appropriate trailing chevron. Right arrow in LTR, left arrow in RTL.

```dart
SettingsTile.navigation(
  leading: const Icon(Icons.language),
  title: const Text('Language'),
  value: const Text('English'),
  titleDescription: const Text('Choose your preferred language'),
  onPressed: (context) {
    Navigator.of(context).push(/* language screen */);
  },
)
```

### `SettingsTile.switchTile` — switch tile

Renders a `Switch` on Material platforms and a `CupertinoSwitch` on iOS/macOS.

```dart
SettingsTile.switchTile(
  leading: const Icon(Icons.fingerprint),
  title: const Text('Use biometrics'),
  description: const Text('Unlock with fingerprint or Face ID'),
  initialValue: _biometricsEnabled,
  onToggle: (value) => setState(() => _biometricsEnabled = value),
)
```

### `CustomSettingsTile` — any widget as a tile

```dart
CustomSettingsTile(
  child: Padding(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 16, vertical: 12),
    child: LinearProgressIndicator(value: 0.3),
  ),
)
```

### `CustomSettingsSection` — any widget as a section

```dart
CustomSettingsSection(
  child: Padding(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
    child: Text(
      'Signed in as Danny Yako',
      style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.bodySmall,
    ),
  ),
)
```

---

## Platform styles

`SettingsList` detects the platform automatically. You can override it:

```dart
SettingsList(
  platform: DevicePlatform.iOS,  // force Cupertino style
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

Android (Material) &nbsp;•&nbsp; iOS (Cupertino) &nbsp;•&nbsp; Web

| `DevicePlatform` | Style |
|---|---|
| `device` *(default)* | Auto-detected at runtime |
| `android`, `fuchsia`, `linux` | Material |
| `iOS`, `macOS`, `windows` | Cupertino |
| `web` | Web (card layout) |

---

## Theming

### Material 3 (v3.0.0+)

On Android and Web, colors are automatically derived from your app's `ColorScheme`. No extra configuration needed — seed colors, light/dark mode, and custom `ColorScheme` all work out of the box.

```dart
MaterialApp(
  theme: ThemeData(
    colorSchemeSeed: Colors.indigo,
    useMaterial3: true,
  ),
  home: const SettingsScreen(),
)
```

### Custom theme overrides

Any field left `null` falls back to the platform default derived from your `ColorScheme`.

```dart
SettingsList(
  lightTheme: const SettingsThemeData(
    settingsListBackground: Color(0xFFF2F2F7),
    settingsSectionBackground: Colors.white,
    titleTextColor: Colors.indigo,
  ),
  darkTheme: const SettingsThemeData(
    settingsListBackground: Color(0xFF1C1C1E),
    settingsSectionBackground: Color(0xFF2C2C2E),
    titleTextColor: Colors.indigoAccent,
  ),
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

### Custom text styles

```dart
SettingsList(
  lightTheme: SettingsThemeData(
    tileTextStyle: const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Roboto', fontSize: 16),
    tileDescriptionTextStyle: const TextStyle(fontSize: 12),
    titleTextStyle: const TextStyle(
      fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      fontSize: 13,
      letterSpacing: 0.5,
    ),
  ),
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

### Disabled tiles

```dart
SettingsTile.switchTile(
  title: const Text('Feature'),
  initialValue: false,
  onToggle: null,   // null disables interaction
  enabled: false,
)

// Control the disabled switch color:
SettingsList(
  lightTheme: const SettingsThemeData(
    inactiveSwitchColor: Colors.grey,
  ),
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

---

## Advanced usage

### Scroll controller

```dart
final _controller = ScrollController();

SettingsList(
  scrollController: _controller,
  sections: [
    SettingsSection(
      tiles: [
        SettingsTile(
          title: const Text('Jump to bottom'),
          onPressed: (_) => _controller.animateTo(
            _controller.position.maxScrollExtent,
            duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 300),
            curve: Curves.easeOut,
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  ],
)
```

### Compact tiles

```dart
SettingsTile(
  title: const Text('Option'),
  compact: true,  // halves the vertical padding
)
```

### Embedding inside another scroll view

```dart
SettingsList(
  shrinkWrap: true,
  physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

### Wide screen alignment

On screens wider than 810 dp, the list auto-centers. To left-align:

```dart
SettingsList(
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```

### CupertinoApp support

```dart
// Pure CupertinoApp:
SettingsList(
  applicationType: ApplicationType.cupertino,
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)

// MaterialApp on Android, CupertinoApp on iOS:
SettingsList(
  applicationType: ApplicationType.both,
  sections: [ /* ... */ ],
)
```
