Pick a GIF, Sticker or Emoji

Use Giphy.getGif(...) to pick a GIF, sticker or emoji.

import 'package:enough_giphy_flutter/enough_giphy_flutter.dart';
[...]
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return TextButton(
        child: Text('GIPHY'), 
        onPressend: () async {
            final gif = await Giphy.getGif(context: context, apiKey: '123abc123');
            if (gif != null) {
                // the user has selected a GIF, now handle it in your own way.
                // Example: display gif using the GiphyImageView:
                showDialog(
                    context: context,
                    builder: (context) => AlertDialog(
                        title: Text(gif.title),
                        content: GiphyImageView(
                            gif: gif,
                        ),
                    ),
                );
            }
        },
      );
  }

Choose What to Pick

• Set the type parameter to switch between gifs, stickers and emoji, e.g.

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    type: GiphyType.stickers, 
);

• Select localized content with the lang parameter (String), which is one of the supported 2-letter-language codes:

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    type: GiphyType.stickers,
    lang: GiphyLanguage.german, 
);

• Use the rating parameter to show other than 'all ages' content:

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    type: GiphyType.gifs,
    lang: GiphyLanguage.spanish, 
    rating: GiphyRating.pg13,
);

Localize

Localize texts with the following String parameters of the getGif() method:

• searchLabelText
• searchHintText
• searchEmptyResultText
• headerGifsText
• headerStickersText
• headerEmojiText You can also define an errorBuilder callback to display a localized error message:

// example for localizing text in German:
final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    type: GiphyType.gifs,
    lang: GiphyLanguage.german, 
    rating: GiphyRating.g,
    searchLabelText: 'GIPHY Suche',
    searchHintText: 'Deine Suchanfrage',
    searchEmptyResultText: 'Nichts gefunden...',
    headerGifsText: 'GIFs',
    headerStickersText: 'Sticker',
    headerEmojiText: 'Emoticons',
    errorBuilder: (context, error, stacktrace) => 
        const Center(child: Text('Leider gab es einen Fehler,\nbitte probiere es später noch einmal.')),
);

Preview

You can show a confirmation dialog before a gif is selected by setting the showPreview parameter to true:

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    showPreview: true,
);

The preview is either a material AlertDialog or a CupertinoAlertDialog depending on the platform. This dialog will show the title and - if available - the creator of the gif. You can search for other gifs of the same creator by tapping on the creator's name.

Attribution

With enough_giphy_flutter your app automatically fulfills the GIPHY Attribution Policy:

• A GIPHY logo is shown next to the search field
• The preview dialog shows the creator of the selected gif.

If you want to show a different attribution, set the Widget? attribution parameter, e.g.:

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    attribution: Image.asset('assets/images/giphy.gif', height: 40),
);

To hide the attribution, set showAttribution to false:

final gif = await Giphy.getGif(
    context: context, 
    apiKey: 'abc123abc',
    showAttribution: false,
);

Customize UI

Apart from the above can customize a lot of things, e.g.

• Set gridType to GridType.squareFixedColumns or GridType.squareFixedWidth to use square tiles instead of the default stacked tiles. Or even specify your own gridBuilder to create your very own representation.
• Adapt the spacing between columns using [gridSpacing], defaults to 4.0.
• Adapt the minimum number of columns shown with [gridMinColumns], which defaults to 2.
• Create your own gridBorderRadius or set it to null to adapt the border of the shown GIFs in the grid to your liking.
• Disable search by setting [showSearch] to false.
• Disable the user switchting between gifs, stickers and emojy by setting [showTypeSwitcher] to false.
• Enable showing a high quality preview before returning a selection by setting [showPreview] to true.
• Set [showAttribution] to false to hide the attribution or specify your own attribution witdget with [attribution].
• Enable keeping the state of the currently selected type and search between invocations by setting [keepState] to true.
• Show you own UI on top of the GIPHY sheet after the user has selected a [GiphyGif] by setting your custom [onSelected] callback.
• Create your own previewBorderRadius or set it to null to adapt the border of the shown GIFs in the preview to your liking (remebder to set showPreview to true).
