AnimatedContainer class Null safety

Animated version of Container that gradually changes its values over a period of time.

The AnimatedContainer will automatically animate between the old and new values of properties when they change using the provided curve and duration. Properties that are null are not animated. Its child and descendants are not animated.

This class is useful for generating simple implicit transitions between different parameters to Container with its internal AnimationController. For more complex animations, you'll likely want to use a subclass of AnimatedWidget such as the DecoratedBoxTransition or use your own AnimationController.

The following example (depicted above) transitions an AnimatedContainer between two states. It adjusts the height, width, color, and alignment properties when tapped.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.AnimatedContainer.1 mysample

Constructors

AnimatedContainer({Key? key, AlignmentGeometry? alignment, EdgeInsetsGeometry? padding, Color? color, Decoration? decoration, Decoration? foregroundDecoration, double? width, double? height, BoxConstraints? constraints, EdgeInsetsGeometry? margin, Matrix4? transform, AlignmentGeometry? transformAlignment, Widget? child, Clip clipBehavior = Clip.none, Curve curve = Curves.linear, required Duration duration, VoidCallback? onEnd})
Creates a container that animates its parameters implicitly.

Properties

The clip behavior when AnimatedContainer.decoration is not null.
final
constraints BoxConstraints?
Additional constraints to apply to the child.
final
