Summary

In this chapter, you began exploring the world of animations in Flutter. You started by using the AnimatedContainer widget, allowing you to create smooth transitions between different properties of a container, like its size, color, or position. This has been an introduction to implicit animations, as the AnimatedContainer handles the animation process automatically.

You also designed your own custom animations using the AnimationController. This gives you greater control over animations, allowing you to create more complex visuals. You also saw how to add multiple animations using the same AnimationController.

You learned how to incorporate curves into your animations, which creates more realistic and natural-looking animations. You also saw how to optimize your animations, ensuring they run efficiently without consuming unnecessary resources, which is essential for delivering a high-performance app.
