Flutter Tutorial 46: Dismissible widget
In Episode 46, we explore the Dismissible widget—Flutter’s built‑in solution for adding swipe actions to list items. In this tutorial, we wrap a payment card widget inside a Dismissible so users can edit or delete the card depending on the swipe direction. This creates a smooth, intuitive interaction commonly seen in modern mobile apps.
What we build in this episode
You’ll take a payment card UI and make it interactive by enabling two different swipe gestures:
Swipe right → Edit the card
Swipe left → Delete the card
Using Dismissible, you’ll learn how to detect the swipe direction, trigger the correct action, and show custom background widgets for each gesture.

How the Dismissible widget works
Adding unique keys to dismissible items
Detecting swipe direction with onDismissed
Showing custom backgrounds for edit/delete actions

By the end of this episode
You’ll know how to wrap any widget—like a payment card—in a Dismissible and respond to swipe gestures with custom actions and animations.
