AnimatedList
An AnimatedList that displays a list of cards which stay in sync with an app-specific ListModel. When an item is added to or removed from the model, the corresponding card animates in or out of view.
Tap an item to select it, tap it again to unselect. Tap ‘+’ to insert at the
selected item, ‘-‘ to remove the selected item. The tap handlers add or
remove items from a ListModel<E>
, a simple encapsulation of List<E>
that keeps the AnimatedList in sync. The list model has a GlobalKey for
its animated list. It uses the key to call the insertItem and removeItem
methods defined by AnimatedListState.
