Positioned class Null safety

A widget that controls where a child of a Stack is positioned.

A Positioned widget must be a descendant of a Stack, and the path from the Positioned widget to its enclosing Stack must contain only StatelessWidgets or StatefulWidgets (not other kinds of widgets, like RenderObjectWidgets).

If a widget is wrapped in a Positioned, then it is a positioned widget in its Stack. If the top property is non-null, the top edge of this child will be positioned top layout units from the top of the stack widget. The right, bottom, and left properties work analogously.

If both the top and bottom properties are non-null, then the child will be forced to have exactly the height required to satisfy both constraints. Similarly, setting the right and left properties to non-null values will force the child to have a particular width. Alternatively the width and height properties can be used to give the dimensions, with one corresponding position property (e.g. top and height).

If all three values on a particular axis are null, then the Stack.alignment property is used to position the child.

If all six values are null, the child is a non-positioned child. The Stack uses only the non-positioned children to size itself.
