Have you ever wondered how social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter can continuously feed users with posts as they scroll through the app? It feels like these pages never end, even if you may have also noticed the loading indicator that periodically appears on the screen.

This is an example of the visual implementation of the infinite scroll pagination. It’s also sometimes referred to as endless scrolling pagination, auto-pagination, lazy-loading pagination, or progressive loading pagination.

Pagination, in software development, is the process of separating data into sequential segments, thereby allowing the user to consume the bits of the data at their desired pace. This can be very useful when your application provides an enormous but ordered amount of data, much like what a user experiences when exploring Instagram or Twitter. It is also beneficial because loading all the data at once could dampen the performance of your application, and the user may not end up consuming all the data you have provided.
Implementing infinite scroll using ListView
ListView is a Flutter widget that gives you scrollable functionality. This allows you to have a collection of widgets that do not have to fit the screen perfectly but can be individually viewed as you scroll through the screen. Let’s take a look at the implementation of the above-mentioned features of the infinite scroll from scratch using the ListView.
