CupertinoTabScaffold class
Implements a tabbed iOS application's root layout and behavior structure.
The scaffold lays out the tab bar at the bottom and the content between or behind the tab bar.
A tabBar and a tabBuilder are required. The CupertinoTabScaffold will automatically listen to the provided CupertinoTabBar's tap callbacks to change the active tab.
A controller can be used to provide an initially selected tab index and manage
subsequent tab changes. If a controller is not specified, the scaffold will
create its own CupertinoTabController and manage it internally. Otherwise
it's up to the owner of controller to call dispose on it after finish
using it.
Tabs' contents are built with the provided tabBuilder at the active tab index. The tabBuilder must be able to build the same number of pages as there are tabBar items. Inactive tabs will be moved Offstage and their animations disabled.
Adding/removing tabs, or changing the order of tabs is supported but not recommended. Doing so is against the iOS human interface guidelines, and CupertinoTabScaffold may lose some tabs' state in the process.
Use CupertinoTabView as the root widget of each tab to support tabs with parallel navigation state and history. Since each CupertinoTabView contains a Navigator, rebuilding the CupertinoTabView with a different WidgetBuilder instance in CupertinoTabView.builder will not recreate the CupertinoTabView's navigation stack or update its UI. To update the contents of the CupertinoTabView after it's built, trigger a rebuild (via State.setState, for instance) from its descendant rather than from its ancestor.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=cupertino.CupertinoTabScaffold.1 mysample
To push a route above all tabs instead of inside the currently selected one
(such as when showing a dialog on top of this scaffold), use
Navigator.of(rootNavigator: true) from inside the BuildContext of a
CupertinoTabView.

Constructors
- CupertinoTabScaffold({Key? key, required CupertinoTabBar tabBar, required IndexedWidgetBuilder tabBuilder, CupertinoTabController? controller, Color? backgroundColor, bool resizeToAvoidBottomInset = true, String? restorationId})
- Creates a layout for applications with a tab bar at the bottom.
Properties
- backgroundColor → Color?
-
The color of the widget that underlies the entire scaffold.
final
- controller → CupertinoTabController?
-
Controls the currently selected tab index of the tabBar, as well as the
active tab index of the tabBuilder. Providing a different controller
will also update the scaffold's current active index to the new controller's
index value.
final
- hashCode → int
-
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
- key → Key?
-
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
- resizeToAvoidBottomInset → bool
-
Whether the body should size itself to avoid the window's bottom inset.
final
- restorationId → String?
-
Restoration ID to save and restore the state of the CupertinoTabScaffold.
final
- runtimeType → Type
-
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
- tabBar → CupertinoTabBar
-
The tabBar is a CupertinoTabBar drawn at the bottom of the screen
that lets the user switch between different tabs in the main content area
when present.
final
- tabBuilder → IndexedWidgetBuilder
-
An IndexedWidgetBuilder that's called when tabs become active.
final
