Spoiler Animation for Flutter

A Flutter package to create spoiler animations similar to the one used in Telegram, allowing you to hide sensitive or spoiler-filled content until it's tapped or clicked.

Demo

Mask Operation	Demo	Mask Operation	Demo
PathOperation.intersect		PathOperation.difference
PathOperation.union		PathOperation.xor

Features

• Spoiler Animation: Blur effect to hide content until tapped or hidden

• Wave Effects: Optional wave/ripple expansions with SpoilerSpotsController

• Particle System: Configure particle density (0–1 coverage), size, speed, color, and shape paths/presets.

• Fade Animation: Smooth circular reveal/cover transitions

• Gesture Control: Enable or disable gestures to users can tap toggle the spoiler.

• Masking Support: Use custom Path + PathOperation via maskConfig.

• Platform Agnostic: Works on iOS, Android, Web, Tizen and more

Usage

1. Basic Spoiler Usage

Import the package:

import'package:spoiler_widget/spoiler_widget.dart';

Wrap any widget you want to hide in a spoiler:

SpoilerOverlay(
config:WidgetSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
fadeConfig:constFadeConfig(padding:3.0, edgeThickness:20.0),
enableGestureReveal:true,
imageFilter:ImageFilter.blur(sigmaX:30, sigmaY:30),
onSpoilerVisibilityChanged: (isVisible) {
debugPrint('Spoiler is now: ${isVisible ? 'Visible' : 'Hidden'}');
},
),
child:constText('Hidden content'),
);

For text-only content, use SpoilerTextWrapper (preferred over deprecated SpoilerText):

SpoilerTextWrapper(
config:TextSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
fadeConfig:constFadeConfig(padding:3.0, edgeThickness:20.0),
enableGestureReveal:true,
onSpoilerVisibilityChanged: (isVisible) {
debugPrint('Spoiler is now: ${isVisible ? 'Visible' : 'Hidden'}');
},
),
child:constText(
'Tap me to reveal secret text!',
style:TextStyle(fontSize:16, color:Colors.black),
),
);

1.1 Wrap existing text widgets

If you already have a text subtree and just need to hide it with particles, use SpoilerTextWrapper:

SpoilerTextWrapper(
config:TextSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
fadeConfig:constFadeConfig(padding:10.0, edgeThickness:20.0),
enableGestureReveal:true,
),
child:Column(
crossAxisAlignment:CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children:const [
Text('Sensitive line 1'),
Text('Sensitive line 2'),
],
),
);

1.2 Form field integration

Use SpoilerTextFieldWrapper to keep the native context menu/cursor while hiding parts of the input:

final controller =TextEditingController(text:'Type here...');
SpoilerTextFieldWrapper(
controller: controller,
focusNode:FocusNode(),
config:constTextSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
fadeConfig:FadeConfig(padding:10.0, edgeThickness:20.0),
enableGestureReveal:true,
textSelection:TextSelection(baseOffset:0, extentOffset:5),
textStyle:TextStyle(fontSize:18, color:Colors.white),
),
cursorColor:Colors.deepPurple,
maxLines:3,
);

2. Wave Animations (SpoilerSpotsController)

For dynamic "wave" effects:

classWaveDemoextendsStatelessWidget {
@overrideWidgetbuild(BuildContext context) {
returnSpoilerOverlay(
config:WidgetSpoilerConfig( isEnabled:true,
maxActiveWaves:3,
fadeConfig:constFadeConfig(padding:10.0, edgeThickness:20.0),
enableGestureReveal:true,
imageFilter:ImageFilter.blur(sigmaX:30, sigmaY:20),
onSpoilerVisibilityChanged: (isVisible) {
debugPrint('Spoiler is now: ${isVisible ? 'Visible' : 'Hidden'}');
},
),
child:Image.network('https://your-image-url'),
);
}
}

3. Custom Path Masking

You can apply a custom-shaped mask using maskConfig in both TextSpoilerConfig and WidgetSpoilerConfig. This allows the spoiler effect to only appear inside specific areas defined by a Path.

SpoilerTextWrapper(
config:TextSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
enableGestureReveal:true,
particleConfig:constParticleConfig(
density:0.1,
speed:0.2,
color:Colors.white,
maxParticleSize:1.0,
),
maskConfig:SpoilerMask(
maskPath: myCustomPath,
maskOperation:PathOperation.intersect,
offset:Offset(50, 30),
),
onSpoilerVisibilityChanged: (isVisible) {
debugPrint('Spoiler is now: ${isVisible ? 'Visible' : 'Hidden'}');
},
),
child:constText(
'Masked spoiler!',
style:TextStyle(fontSize:24, color:Colors.white),
),
);

3. Full Example

You can find a complete, runnable example in the example/lib/main.dart file. It demonstrates various configuration options and both text and widget-based spoilers.

Configuration

Common Fields

Table showing common config parameters for both TextSpoilerConfig and WidgetSpoilerConfig.

Field	Type	Description
isEnabled	bool	Whether the spoiler starts enabled (hidden).
enableGestureReveal	bool	Whether tap should toggle visibility.
particleConfig	ParticleConfig	Particle system parameters (density, speed, color, size, shape).
fadeConfig	FadeConfig?	Fade parameters (padding, edgeThickness).
shaderConfig	ShaderConfig?	Custom fragment shader configuration for particles.
maskConfig	SpoilerMask?	Optional mask to apply using a Path.
onSpoilerVisibilityChanged	ValueChanged?	Callback fired when spoiler becomes visible/hidden.

Legacy fields (deprecated)

These fields are kept for backward compatibility; prefer particleConfig and fadeConfig.

• enableFadeAnimation
• fadeRadius (maps to FadeConfig.padding)
• fadeEdgeThickness
• particleDensity
• particleSpeed
• particleColor
• maxParticleSize

ParticleConfig

Field	Type	Description
density	double	Area coverage percentage in the range 0..1 (0 = 0%, 1 = 100%). Values are clamped.

color	Color	Base particle color.
maxParticleSize	double	Particle diameter in pixels.
shapePreset	ParticlePathPreset?	Built-in shapes or ParticlePathPreset.custom(...) for your own path.

textSelection	TextSelection?	Range of text to apply the spoiler.
textAlign	TextAlign?	Text alignment inside the widget.
maxLines	int?	An optional maximum number of lines for the text to span, wrapping if necessary.
isEllipsis	bool?	Determines whether overflowing text should display an ellipsis ("…") at the end.

FAQ

1. How can I animate the blur or wave concurrency? Adjust the properties in your configuration object at runtime. For instance, set a new imageFilter or call methods on the wave controller to dynamically tune the effect.

2. Can I skip the wave logic? Yes—by default, you get a basic spoiler with fade. Use SpoilerSpotsController only if you want wave animations.

3. Does this work on the web? Yes! It’s entirely in Flutter/Dart. Just ensure you handle any platform quirks with gesture input.

Dual Rendering Modes

spoiler_widget now supports two modes of rendering particles:

1. Atlas Rendering (Default): Uses Flutter's drawRawAtlas. This is a CPU-driven approach that is highly efficient for most standard spoiler effects.
2. Shader Rendering (GPU): Uses custom fragment shaders to render particles. This is ideal for complex visual effects and leverages GPU power for smoother performance on high-end devices.

To enable Shader Rendering, simply provide a ShaderConfig to your spoiler configuration.

Particle Shapes

Pick a shape once in ParticleConfig, and it works for both atlas and shader modes. Leave shapePreset null for the default circle (fastest path).

particleConfig:ParticleConfig(
density:0.1,
shapePreset:ParticlePathPreset.snowflake,
),

If you need full control, provide a custom Path for particles:

final starPath =Path()
..moveTo(0.0, -1.0)
..lineTo(0.2, -0.2)
..lineTo(1.0, -0.2)
..lineTo(0.35, 0.15)
..lineTo(0.6, 0.9)
..lineTo(0.0, 0.4)
..lineTo(-0.6, 0.9)
..lineTo(-0.35, 0.15)
..lineTo(-1.0, -0.2)
..lineTo(-0.2, -0.2)
..close();
particleConfig:ParticleConfig(
density:0.1,
shapePreset:ParticlePathPreset.custom(starPath),
),

4. Custom Fragment Shader (particles.frag)

You can use the default high-performance shader for particle rendering:

SpoilerTextWrapper(
config:TextSpoilerConfig(
isEnabled:true,
enableGestureReveal:true,
particleConfig:constParticleConfig(
density:0.15,
speed:0.25,
color:Colors.white,
maxParticleSize:1.0,
shapePreset:ParticlePathPreset.star,
),
shaderConfig:ShaderConfig.particles(),
),
child:constText('GPU-driven particles!'),
);
