FlutterFlow is a low-code builder for native apps, bringing design and development into one tool. With drag-and-drop functionality, you can build pixel-perfect UIs and easily connect your app to live data via Firebase or APIs. Plus, you can add advanced features like push notifications, payments, animations, and more. Whether you build your own custom widgets or write custom code, FlutterFlow makes it easy to bring your app ideas to life.

Great tutorial, also keep in mind with the imported packages there can be so many more properties/methods you can find out about that aren't used in the example usage, the code analyzer will show you the available content as an auto-complete.

Thanks for updating this topic with a new video. I think the earlier video didn't cover the concepts of Class and Constructors. It is still a somewhat confusing topic but that probably for another video.

hi,custom widgets can not found:-----The getter 'ltr' isn't defined for the type 'TextDirection'. Try importing the library that defines 'ltr', correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining a getter or field named 'ltr'.

I created a custom widget, when I drag & drop it into the builder like 8:21, a rectangular grey box is appearing. I also inserted the parameters for the widget from right panel but those parameters values are not visible on builder screen. But when I run the page in "run mode", this widget and all its children are visible on the screen. Any help?
PS: i had complied the custom widget code already

If i created a component using the drag and drop functionality of FF, like an info card or something and I wanted to put that card into a custom code widget, say a draggable list custom widget. Is this something that can be done in flutterflow? And if so, how?

[@maalinlaha]

What is the best way to know if a widget can be build inside FF as a custom widget? Do we just try it out or is there a criteria a widget should met in order FF costum widget builder to compile it?

[@flutterflowexpert]

You should be able to build any widget in FF.

[@abeymultimedia4719]

Can you save a widget build in FF as a custom widget. So you don’t have to repeat design?
