Question 1

How do I add a dough effect to a button in Flutter?

Accepted Answer

Wrap your button with the PressableDough widget from the Flutter Dough package. Check the Flutter Dough README for code examples and properties to customize the squishiness.

Question 2

Does Dough Library work with React Native?

Accepted Answer

No, it only supports Flutter for mobile, React for web, and vanilla JavaScript. For React Native, you'd need to look for alternative animation libraries or contribute to extend Dough.

Question 3

What's the performance impact of using Dough Library on mobile apps?

Accepted Answer

Physics animations can be CPU-intensive, leading to potential frame drops on older devices. Optimize by limiting active dough widgets and testing on target hardware.

Question 4

Dough Library vs Lottie for animations: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Dough Library is better for real-time, interactive squishy effects with physics, while Lottie excels at pre-designed vector animations. Choose based on whether you need interactivity or static visuals.

Question 5

How to create a custom dough behavior in Flutter?

Accepted Answer

Use the CustomDough widget and define your own deformation rules. Refer to the CustomDough section in the main Dough project documentation for implementation details and examples.

Question 6

Is Dough Library accessible for users with motion sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't cover accessibility. You should test animations with assistive tools and consider reducing or disabling effects for users who prefer reduced motion.

Question 7

Can I integrate Dough Library with state management in React?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but ensure dough components don't interfere with state updates. Use React hooks or context carefully, as animations might trigger re-renders that affect performance.
