Nandani SharmaIf you’ve been using Flutter for a long time, you know that until now there is no way to group slivers together and render them as single slivers in customScrollview.
What if we needed to apply different padding to individual groups of slivers? Or What if you wanted to create a vertically scrollable list of slivers side by side, much like using a raw widget?
Well, the release of Flutter 3.13, introduces two different widgets,SliverMainAxisGroup and SliverCrossSxisGroup to group slivers in the main-axis and cross-axis respectively.
There are new features and improvements when it comes to scrolling with this new API and the best part? you can easily create one of your favorite— sticky headers.
