ConstrainedBox class Null safety

A widget that imposes additional constraints on its child.

For example, if you wanted child to have a minimum height of 50.0 logical pixels, you could use const BoxConstraints(minHeight: 50.0) as the constraints.

This snippet makes the child widget (a Card with some Text) fill the parent, by applying BoxConstraints.expand constraints: 
ConstrainedBox(
  constraints: const BoxConstraints.expand(),
  child: const Card(child: Text('Hello World!')),
)

The same behavior can be obtained using the SizedBox.expand widget.

  • BoxConstraints, the class that describes constraints.
  • UnconstrainedBox, a container that tries to let its child draw without constraints.
  • SizedBox, which lets you specify tight constraints by explicitly specifying the height or width.
  • FractionallySizedBox, which sizes its child based on a fraction of its own size and positions the child according to an Alignment value.
  • AspectRatio, a widget that attempts to fit within the parent's constraints while also sizing its child to match a given aspect ratio.

Methods

createElement() → SingleChildRenderObjectElement
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.

Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.

toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String
Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String
Returns a one-line detailed description of the object.
inherited
toStringShort() → String
A short, textual description of this widget.
inherited
updateRenderObject(BuildContext context, covariant RenderConstrainedBox renderObject) → void
Copies the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget to the given RenderObject, which will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.
