Question 1

How to add drag and drop to Time Planner?

Accepted Answer

Time Planner doesn't support drag-and-drop natively; you'd need to implement it externally using Flutter gestures or consider alternative packages like flutter_calendar for more interactive features, then sync task data manually.

Question 2

Can Time Planner handle overlapping tasks in the same time slot?

Accepted Answer

No, the widget uses a grid layout where tasks are placed in distinct cells based on hour and column; overlapping tasks aren't supported and would require custom logic to stack or adjust visually.

Question 3

Time Planner vs table_calendar: which is better for a weekly schedule?

Accepted Answer

Time Planner excels at hourly/day-based table views with multi-day tasks, while table_calendar offers broader calendar features like month views and event handling. Choose Time Planner for focused time-table visualization, but table_calendar if you need full calendar functionality.

Question 4

How to change task colors dynamically based on data?

Accepted Answer

You can dynamically set task colors by mapping your data to TimePlannerTask objects—for example, use a conditional statement in the color property based on task type or priority, as shown in the usage example with Colors.purple.

Question 5

Is Time Planner good for real-time apps like shared calendars?

Accepted Answer

It's primarily a UI widget, so while it can display real-time data if updated via setState or state management, it lacks built-in syncing or collaboration features; you'd need to integrate backend services like Firebase separately.

Question 6

How to disable the auto-scroll to current hour?

Accepted Answer

Set currentTimeAnimation to false in the TimePlanner widget, as mentioned in the README; this stops the automatic scroll on load, giving you full control over the initial view position.
