Question 1

How to implement Tinder swipe cards in Flutter?

Accepted Answer

Tinder Cards provides two approaches: use the Draggable widget for basic functionality or GestureDetector with Alignment for smoother animations. Integrate the widget stack from the example and customize swipe thresholds as needed, but note the Draggable method has animation limitations.

Question 2

Tinder Cards vs other Flutter swipe libraries: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Tinder Cards stands out with its dual implementations, offering flexibility between simplicity and control, especially for real-time rotation. Compare with libraries like flutterswipecards for pre-built features, but choose Tinder Cards if you need customizable physics and threshold settings.

Question 3

How to adjust swipe sensitivity in Tinder Cards?

Accepted Answer

In the GestureDetector method, modify the alignment.x threshold value in the code to define when a swipe is valid. This allows precise control over how far a card must be dragged before triggering a swipe action.

Question 4

Can I use Tinder Cards for a React Native app?

Accepted Answer

No, Tinder Cards is specific to Flutter and targets mobile platforms through Dart. For React Native, you'd need to find alternative libraries or build a custom solution, as this won't be compatible.

Question 5

How to handle dynamic data updates with Tinder Cards?

Accepted Answer

The library doesn't manage data; implement changeCardsOrder() to cycle through cards and load new data dynamically. You'll need to tie this to your data source, as shown in the example for updating the card stack.

Question 6

Is there a way to add custom card animations beyond rotation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the GestureDetector approach, you can extend the alignment-based animations by modifying the onPanUpdate logic. However, the README lacks detailed guidance, so experimentation or external Flutter animation knowledge may be required.
