FocusTraversalGroup class Null safety

A widget that describes the inherited focus policy for focus traversal for its descendants, grouping them into a separate traversal group.

A traversal group is treated as one entity when sorted by the traversal algorithm, so it can be used to segregate different parts of the widget tree that need to be sorted using different algorithms and/or sort orders when using an OrderedTraversalPolicy.

Within the group, it will use the given policy to order the elements. The group itself will be ordered using the parent group's policy.

By default, traverses in reading order using ReadingOrderTraversalPolicy.

To prevent the members of the group from being focused, set the descendantsAreFocusable attribute to false.

This sample shows three rows of buttons, each grouped by a FocusTraversalGroup, each with different traversal order policies. Use tab traversal to see the order they are traversed in. The first row follows a numerical order, the second follows a lexical order (ordered to traverse right to left), and the third ignores the numerical order assigned to it and traverses in widget order.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.FocusTraversalGroup.1 mysample
