AdaptiveScaffold reacts to input from users, devices and screen elements and
renders your Flutter application according to the
Material 3
guidelines.
To see examples of using these widgets to make a simple but common adaptive layout:
cd example/
flutter run --releaseAdaptiveScaffold implements the basic visual layout structure for Material
Design 3 that adapts to a variety of screens. It provides a preset of layout,
including positions and animations, by handling macro changes in navigational
elements and bodies based on the current features of the screen, namely screen
width and platform. For example, the navigational elements would be a
BottomNavigationBar on a small mobile device and a NavigationRail on larger
devices. The body is the primary screen that takes up the space left by the
navigational elements. The secondaryBody acts as an option to split the space
between two panes for purposes such as having a detail view. There is some
automatic functionality with foldables to handle the split between panels
properly. AdaptiveScaffold is much simpler to use but is not the best if you
would like high customizability. Apps that would like more refined layout and/or
animation should use AdaptiveLayout.

}These are the set of widgets that are used on a lower level and offer more customizability at a cost of more lines of code.
A Breakpoint controls the responsive behavior at different screens and configurations.
You can either use a predefined Material3 breakpoint or create your own.

/// Returns true if this [Breakpoint] is greater than the given [Breakpoint].
bool operator >(Breakpoint breakpoint)
// ···
/// Returns true if this [Breakpoint] is less than the given [Breakpoint].
bool operator <(Breakpoint breakpoint)
// ···

// ···
/// Returns true if this [Breakpoint] is less than or equal to the

// ···
/// Returns true if this [Breakpoint] is between the given [Breakpoint]s.
bool between(Breakpoint lower, Breakpoint upper)
AdaptiveLayout is the top-level widget class that arranges the layout of the
slots and their animation, similar to Scaffold. It takes in several LayoutSlots
and returns an appropriate layout based on the diagram above. AdaptiveScaffold
is built upon AdaptiveLayout internally but abstracts some of the complexity
with presets based on the Material 3 Design specification.
SlotLayout handles the adaptivity or the changes between widgets at certain
Breakpoints. It also holds the logic for animating between breakpoints. It takes
SlotLayoutConfigs mapped to Breakpoints in a config and displays a widget based
on that information.
SlotLayout.from creates a SlotLayoutConfig holds the actual widget to be displayed and the entrance animation and exit animation.
// AdaptiveLayout has a number of slots that take SlotLayouts and these
// SlotLayouts' configs take maps of Breakpoints to SlotLayoutConfigs.
return AdaptiveLayout(
// An option to override the default transition duration.
