Question 1

How does stepper_touch compare to Flutter's built-in Stepper widget?

Accepted Answer

stepper_touch focuses on touch gestures and animations for interactive numeric input, ideal for quantity selectors, while Flutter's Stepper is designed for multi-step forms with less emphasis on gestures. Choose stepper_touch for engaging value toggling and Flutter's Stepper for sequential processes.

Question 2

How to customize stepper_touch colors or styles?

Accepted Answer

The widget doesn't provide built-in color or style properties; you'll need to wrap it in a Container with custom decorations or modify the source code, as the README doesn't cover styling options. This requires additional Flutter development effort.

Question 3

Is stepper_touch accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention accessibility features like semantic labels or ARIA support, so it may not be suitable for applications requiring full accessibility compliance without manual implementation of Flutter's accessibility widgets.

Question 4

Can stepper_touch handle decimal or negative values?

Accepted Answer

From the usage example, it uses integer values ('int value'); there's no indication of support for decimals or negatives. You might need to extend the widget or use it within a controlled context, such as clamping values in the callback.

Question 5

How to integrate stepper_touch with state management like Provider?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'onChanged' callback to update state, similar to other Flutter widgets. For example, with Provider, call a method in the callback to notify listeners. The widget itself has no built-in state management, so integration is external.

Question 6

Does stepper_touch work on web or desktop platforms?

Accepted Answer

As a Flutter widget, it should work on all platforms, but the touch gestures are optimized for mobile; on web or desktop, it might rely on mouse events which could affect the swipe experience, requiring testing for cross-platform consistency.
