Let’s move over to the meals section of the home page. In here, we have a simple meal switcher that updates the meals list based on the item selected. Currently it doesnt have any animation. Let’s head over to the code to get a brief overview of what it does.

AnimatedSwitcher(
    duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 450),
    child: MealsList(meals: _meals),
),

child: MealsList(
    key: ValueKey(_currentSelection),
    meals: _meals,
),

transitionBuilder: (Widget child, Animation<double> animation) {
    return ScaleTransition(child: child, scale: animation);
    //return RotationTransition(child: child, turns: animation); -->
},
