LayoutBuilder class Null safety
Builds a widget tree that can depend on the parent widget's size.
Similar to the Builder widget except that the framework calls the builder function at layout time and provides the parent widget's constraints. This is useful when the parent constrains the child's size and doesn't depend on the child's intrinsic size. The LayoutBuilder's final size will match its child's size.
The builder function is called in the following situations:
- The first time the widget is laid out.
- When the parent widget passes different layout constraints.
- When the parent widget updates this widget.
- When the dependencies that the builder function subscribes to change.
The builder function is not called during layout if the parent passes the same constraints repeatedly.
If the child should be smaller than the parent, consider wrapping the child in an Align widget. If the child might want to be bigger, consider wrapping it in a SingleChildScrollView or OverflowBox.
This example uses a LayoutBuilder to build a different widget depending on the available width. Resize the

Methods
-
createElement(

RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
inherited
-
createRenderObject(
BuildContext context) → RenderObject -
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this
RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this
RenderObjectWidget.
override

Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.

-
toDiagnosticsNode(
{String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode -
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging
tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
-
toString(

A string representation of this object.
inherited
-
toStringDeep(

A short, textual description of this widget.
inherited
-
updateRenderObject(
BuildContext context, covariant RenderObject 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.
