Great to have you back on our journey through the enchanting realm of ‘fl_chart’! Today, buckle up as we take a deep dive into another fascinating aspect — the world of pie charts. ✌🏻
Why Use fl_chart?
‘fl_chart’ is like magic wand for making chart in Flutter. It’s super easy to use, even if I’m just starting out. Plus, it lets me make all kinds of charts that look awesome and showcase my data in an exciting manner.
Pie Charts
Imagine your data as a colorful pie — each slice a unique flavor. It’s like turning numbers into a party that everyone’s invited to! 🌈 Ever wanted to tell a story with your data? Pie charts are the storytellers of charts. They break down proportions in a way that feels like narrating a delicious tale. ✨ Using ‘fl_chart’ for Flutter, creating a pie chart is as fun as baking cookies and maybe even more rewarding! Here’s your quick recipe: 🫐🍰
Step 1: Add the dependencies to pubspec.yaml file
fl_chart: ^0.66.0Step 2: Create HomePage
In the ‘home_page.dart’ file, let’s craft two buttons to explore our examples. In the ‘routes.dart’ file I’ve set up navigation to our examples, you can check out the source code for details.
Step 3: Import the package and start to code
import 'package:fl_chart/fl_chart.dart';Afterward, we’ll create our first example, following a similar code structure with a clear separation between ‘view’ and ‘widget’. We’re starting with ‘view’ part.
Create ‘first_pie_chart.dart’ file inside the ‘views’ in ‘lib’ folder.
In the ‘indicator.dart’ file I’ve set up indicator widget for the pie charts’ info section. You can check out the source code for details.
The second and final example…
Create ‘second_pie_chart.dart’ file inside the ‘views’ in ‘lib’ folder.
Big thanks for joining me on this delightful joerney exploring the world of ‘fl_chart’! 🚀 I hope you found a sprinkle of inspiration for your Flutter projects. Until our next coding rendezvous, happy charting and see you in the upcoming article! 🌈✨
