  • fair https://pub.dev/packages/fair
  • fair_compiler https://pub.dev/packages/fair_compiler
  • fair_annotation https://pub.dev/packages/fair_annotation
  • fair_version https://pub.dev/packages/fair_version

Please check the runtime environment on your computer. Fair is based on Flutter 1.20.4 & 1.22.4 .The latest stable flutter version will continue to be supported in the future. Currently supported versions are listed bellow (If you encounter problems, issue feedback):

Flutter Version Dart Version
Flutter 1.22.4/1.22.5 Dart 2.10.4
Flutter 1.20.4 Dart 2.9.2
Flutter 1.17.3 Dart 2.8.4
Flutter 1.12.13+hotfix.9 Dart 2.7.2

To compact with Flutter, you need to get right fair version. For example, when you checkout the flutter version 1.12.13, fair needs to switch synchronously.

# Switch to another stable flutter version
dependency_overrides:
  fair_version:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/wuba/fair.git
      ref: main
      path: fair_version/flutter_1_12_13

# Using Fair

Follow these steps:

1.Set FairApp as top widget

The common way is set Fair App as the root node of the App. You can use it as root node of the page view, too.

void main() {
  runApp(
    FairApp(
      child: MaterialApp(home: App())
    ),
  );
}

  },
)

According to your situation, you can use FairWidget and Flutter widget together or alone:

  1. FairWidget can work with other different widgets.
  2. In general, FairWidget displays as a full screen page widget.
  3. FairWidget can be nested. That is to say it can be partially nested under a common flutter Widget, or it can be nested under another FairWidget.

For detail ,please refer to the example under repo.
