  TiktokScrollWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
  PageController pageController = PageController(initialPage: 1);
  List<Widget> buildContainers() {
    return list
        .map((e) => Container(
            decoration: const BoxDecoration(
              image: DecorationImage(
                  image: NetworkImage("https://picsum.photos/200/300"),
                  fit: BoxFit.cover),
            ),
            child: Container(
                alignment: Alignment.bottomLeft,
                margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 40, left: 20),
                child: Column(
                  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
                  children: [
                    Text(" Name of user  " + e,
                        style: TextStyle(
                            color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
                    Text(" subtitle  " + e,
                        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white))
                  ],
                ))))
        .toList();

    // return [Container(
    //    // height: 200,
    //      margin: EdgeInsets.all(5),
    //      decoration: BoxDecoration(
    //          border: Border.all(color: Colors.red)
    //      ),
    //      child: Center(
    //          child:  Text(e)
    //      )
    //  ),
    //    Container(
    //      // height: 200,
    //        margin: EdgeInsets.all(5),
    //        decoration: BoxDecoration(
    //            border: Border.all(color: Colors.red)
    //        ),
    //        child: Center(
    //            child:  Text(e)
    //        )
    //    )]
  }

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text("Readerstack")),
        body: PageView(
            controller: pageController,
            scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
            children: buildContainers()),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Here as you can see we have used PageView to build the scroll view like ticktock and also created a PageController to set initial page and used scrollDirection to change the direction of scroll.

Step 3 : Add Page to main file

Add you new pages to main.dart and start navigating.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:example_app/TiktokScrollWidget.dart';

void main() => runApp(TiktokScrollWidget());

Step 4: Run the project

Simply run the project using command line or in android studio to check the implementation.

flutter run lib/main.dart
