When navigating between screens in a app, it’s helpful to use some visual cues to assist a user in knowing the context of where they came from and where they’re going to. A hero animation is a common technique for implementing such a visual cue.

trailing: Hero(
  child: ClipRRect(
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8.0),
    child: Image.network(
      course.artworkUrl,
    ),
tag: 'cardArtwork-${course.courseId}',
transitionOnUserGestures: true,
    return Hero(
      tag: 'cardArtwork-${course.courseId}',
      transitionOnUserGestures: true,
      child: ImageContainer(
        height: 200,
        url: course.artworkUrl,
      ),
