Feature request: allow sections in the list

[themisir]

I need to think about code design:

• Where to define sections
• Dynamic sections?
• Defining which item is associated to which section.
• Infinite loading and many more things

[themisir]

Do you want something like that?

sections: <Section>[
  Section(
    label: Text('Static section'),
    children: <Widget>[
      ListTile(),
      ...
    ],
  ),
  Section(
    label: Text('Dynamic section'),
    adapter: NetworkListAdapter(..),
  ),
  ...
],

No, more like a separate sectionBuilder (additional to itemBuilder).However, i am not sure how to distinguish between sections and items in the data once you have to separate builders.

Could you write example mockup code?

Sure:

CustomListView(
    sectionBuilder: (context, index, section) {return SectionTile(title: section.title)},
    itemBuilder: (context, index, item) {return ListTile(title: item.title)},
    adapter:  ListAdapter(
    fetchItems: (int offset, int limit) {
      return List(ListItems([ ... ])); // <- Each section has its own list entry, or maybe other structure handling the sections
    },
  ),

Does this make sense to you?
