Usage

1. add dependencies into you project pubspec.yaml file

dependencies:
  easy_sidemenu: ^0.5.0

Run flutter packages get in the root directory of your app.

2. import easy sidemenu lib

import 'package:easy_sidemenu/easy_sidemenu.dart';

Now you can use SideMenu as a widget in your code.

3. use SideMenu

You must first define a list of items to display on SideMenu:

List<SideMenuItem> items = [
  SideMenuItem(
    title: 'Dashboard',
    onTap: (index, _) {
      sideMenu.changePage(index);
    },
    icon: Icon(Icons.home),
    badgeContent: Text(
      '3',
      style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
    ),
  ),
  SideMenuItem(
    title: 'Settings',
    onTap: (index, _) {
      sideMenu.changePage(index);
    },
    icon: Icon(Icons.settings),
  ),
  SideMenuItem(
    title: 'Exit',
    onTap: () {},
    icon: Icon(Icons.exit_to_app),
  ),
];

custom builder:

Instead of title and icon in SideMenuItem can use builder to create your customize items:

SideMenuItem(
  builder: (context, displayMode) {
    return Container();
  },
  onTap: () {},
),

After that you need to warp your main page to a row and then add SideMenu as first child of that, like below:

PageController pageController = PageController();
SideMenuController sideMenu = SideMenuController();

@override
void initState() {
  // Connect SideMenuController and PageController together
  sideMenu.addListener((index) {
    pageController.jumpToPage(index);
  });
  super.initState();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Row(
    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
    children: [
      SideMenu(
        // Page controller to manage a PageView
        controller: sideMenu,
        // Will shows on top of all items, it can be a logo or a Title text
        title: Image.asset('assets/images/easy_sidemenu.png'),
        // Will show on bottom of SideMenu when displayMode was SideMenuDisplayMode.open
        footer: Text('demo'),
        // Notify when display mode changed
        onDisplayModeChanged: (mode) {
          print(mode);
        },
        // List of SideMenuItem to show them on SideMenu
        items: items,
      ),
      Expanded(
        child: PageView(
          controller: pageController,
          children: [
            Container(
              child: Center(
                child: Text('Dashboard'),
              ),
            ),
            Container(
              child: Center(
                child: Text('Settings'),
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    ],
  );
}

you can change style of side menu with SideMenuStyle :
