PlaceholderSpan class Null safety
An immutable placeholder that is embedded inline within text.
PlaceholderSpan represents a placeholder that acts as a stand-in for other content. A PlaceholderSpan by itself does not contain useful information to change a TextSpan. Instead, this class must be extended to define contents.
WidgetSpan from the widgets library extends PlaceholderSpan and may be used instead to specify a widget as the contents of the placeholder.

Methods
-
build(
ParagraphBuilder builder, {double textScaleFactor = 1.0, List< PlaceholderDimensions> ? dimensions}) → void -
Apply the properties of this object to the given ParagraphBuilder, from
which a Paragraph can be obtained.
inherited
-
codeUnitAt(
int index) → int? -
Returns the UTF-16 code unit at the given
indexin the flattened string.inherited -
codeUnitAtVisitor(
int index, Accumulator offset) → int? -
Performs the check at each InlineSpan for if the
indexfalls within the range of the span and returns the corresponding code unit. Returns null otherwise.protected">@protectedinherited -
compareTo(
InlineSpan other) → RenderComparison -
Describe the difference between this span and another, in terms of
how much damage it will make to the rendering. The comparison is deep.
inherited
-
computeSemanticsInformation(
List< InlineSpanSemanticsInformation> collector) → void -
Walks the InlineSpan tree and accumulates a list of
InlineSpanSemanticsInformation objects.
override
-
computeToPlainText(
StringBuffer buffer, {bool includeSemanticsLabels = true, bool includePlaceholders = true}) → void -
PlaceholderSpans are flattened to a
0xFFFCobject replacement character in the plain text representation whenincludePlaceholdersis true.override -
debugAssertIsValid(
) → bool -
In debug mode, throws an exception if the object is not in a
valid configuration. Otherwise, returns true.
inherited

Populates the
semanticsOffsetsandsemanticsElementswith the appropriate data to be able to construct a SemanticsNode. -
getSemanticsInformation(
) → List< InlineSpanSemanticsInformation> -
Flattens the InlineSpan tree to a list of
InlineSpanSemanticsInformationobjects.inherited -
getSpanForPosition(
TextPosition position) → InlineSpan? -
Returns the InlineSpan that contains the given position in the text.
inherited
-
getSpanForPositionVisitor(
TextPosition position, Accumulator offset) → InlineSpan? -
Performs the check at each InlineSpan for if the
positionfalls within the range of the span and returns the span if it does.protected">@protectedinherited -
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.

A brief description of this object, usually just the runtimeType and the
hashCode.
inherited
