Blobs

Create beautiful blob shapes with minimal code.

### Features

- Generate blob in any size

- Control the randomness and complexity

- Animate the blob

- Set ID for a fixed blob

- Shuffle between the fixed blobs

- Loop animation

- Blob clipper

- Get SVG path

- Debug, Child widget, controller and few more

### Widgets

There are four widgets,

- `Blob.random()` - Generate random blobs

- `Blob.animatedRandom()` - Generate blobs and animate the shape change

- `Blob.fromID()` - Use one or more ID's for fixed blobs

- `Blob.animatedFromID()` - Animate the shape change

#### ⚙️ Blob Size

Size of the blob (_mandatory_).

```dart

Blob.random(size:200),

```

 

#### ⚙️ Customise shape

`edgesCount` is the nodes count. More the value, more the complexity. Minimum is _3_ and max is _300_. But for cool shapes you can stick between _3-20_. Default is _7_

`minGrowth` is the minimum size of the blob. Smaller the value, more the randomness. Value should be an interger between _2-9_. Default is _4_.

```dart

Blob.random(
size:200,
edgesCount:5,
minGrowth:4,
),

```

 

#### ⚙️ Controller

You can use `BlobController`, if you want to change the shape programatically. As o now it has only one method called `change()`. When you call this, the shape will be changed and returns some useful info of the blob (`BlobData`).

```dart

BlobController blobCtrl = BlobController();

```

```dart

Blob.random(
size:200,
edgesCount:5,
minGrowth:4,
controller: blobCtrl,
),

```

```dart

BlobData blobData = blobCtrl.change();

```

 

#### ⚙️ Fixed shapes

In most scenarios you wanted a same blob to be rendered every time. This can be achieved using ID. It is just a plain string contains the shape data.

You can get the ID from the `blobData` from the controller's `change()` method. Or you can also generate blobs and get ID from [https://blobs.app/](https://blobs.app/)

ID looks like **`5-6-43178`**

`id` option accepts one or multiple id's. If it has only one id, then it will be a fixed blob.

```dart

Blob.fromID(
size:200,
id:['X-Y-ZZZZ'],
controller: blobCtrl,
),

```

If you provide multiple id's, then it will show each one in order on changing.

```dart

Blob.fromID(
size:200,
id:['X-Y-ZZZZ','X-Y-ZZZZ','X-Y-ZZZZ'],
controller: blobCtrl
),

```

 

#### ⚙️ Styles

You can change the color, add gradient, make outlined using `BlobStyles()`

```dart

Blob.random(
size:200,
styles: BlobStyles(
color: Colors.green,
fillType: BlobFillType.stroke,
gradient: LinearGradient(),
strokeWidth:3,
),
),

```

Gradient can be Linear or Radial. `LinearGradient` will look like this,

```dart

LinearGradient(colors: [Colors.red, Colors.green])
.createShader(Rect.fromLTRB(0, 0, 300, 300))

```


style_gradient
style_custom_color
style_outline

 

#### ⚙️ Child Widget

You can use `child` property to display a child which looks like the blob as background.

```dart

Blob.random(
size:200,
child: Text('I am a child!'),
),

```

blobs_with_child

 

#### ⚙️ Animating the blobs

Whenever the blobs are changing, this widget will animate the shape change.

```dart

Blob.animatedRandom(
size:200,
edgesCount:5,
minGrowth:4,
duration: Duration(milliseconds:500),
),

```

`duration` is optional. Default is `500` milliseconds.

#### ⚙️ Change shapes automatically

When you want to change the shapes automatically you can set `loop` property to true.

```dart

Blob.animatedRandom(
size:200,
edgesCount:5,
minGrowth:4,
loop: true,
),

```

 

#### ⚙️ Animate Fixed shapes

If you use `loop` in `Blob.fromAnimatedID()` widget, it will change shapes within the provided blobs.

```dart

Blob.animatedFromID(
size:200,
id:['X-Y-ZZZZ','X-Y-ZZZZ','X-Y-ZZZZ'],
loop: true,
),

```

#### ⚙️ Debug

When you set `debug` to true, it will show you circles and lines that connect the blob points.

```dart

Blob.random(
size:200,
debug: true,
),

```

debug_blob

 

### Clipper

Sometime you might want to clip the widget by blob shape. In such cases you can use `BlobClipper()`. You can either provide `id` or `edgesCount` and `minGrowth` options.

```dart

Container(
child: ClipPath(
clipper: BlobClipper(),
child: Image.network("https://bit.ly/2nirIxg"),
),
)

```

### Service

Blobs shape are created by `BlobGenerator()`. Both widgets and clipper uses this internally to create the shape and then it is painted to canvas. This will return `BlobData`.

```dart

BlobData blobData = BlobGenerator(
edgesCount: 7,
minGrowth: 4,
size: Size(30, 30),
id: null,
).generate();

```

 

#### ℹ️ BlobData

It is the raw data, which contains the path definitions, coordinates and other basic info about the blob.

```dart

BlobData(
dots,
innerRad,
svgPath,
coords,
id,
edgesCount,
minGrowth,
size,
originalSize,
)

```

 

#### 📐SVG

BlobData contains `svgPath` info. It is just a path string which will look like this,

`M326.0,251.5Q282.0,303.0,226.5,315.0Q171.0,327.0,118.5,296.0Q66.0,265.0,90.0,211.5Q114.0,158.0,145.0,126.0Q176.0,94.0,228.5,96.0Q281.0,98.0,325.5,149.0Q370.0,200.0,326.0,251.5Z`

from this you can easily create SVG like

```svg

```

### Inspirations

We can create cool visual elements with blobs. Here's a few things that came to my mind.
