AnimatedTo: A Game Changer for Your Moving Animations
summary
AnimatedTo offers implicit position animation by letting you wrap with AnimatedTo and supply a requires GlobalKey so the element and RenderObject persist across rebuilds; it computes previous and next layout and a custom RenderObject animates in paint phase to avoid blinking. Demos include row→column moves, a reorderable wrap and animated graphs; it’s tiny and smooth on web but currently cannot be used inside ListView (sliver layout), doesn’t support nested AnimatedTo instances, and has hit‑test mismatches to fix.
