Scrollable class Null safety

A widget that scrolls.

Scrollable implements the interaction model for a scrollable widget, including gesture recognition, but does not have an opinion about how the viewport, which actually displays the children, is constructed.

It's rare to construct a Scrollable directly. Instead, consider ListView or GridView, which combine scrolling, viewporting, and a layout model. To combine layout models (or to use a custom layout mode), consider using CustomScrollView.

The static Scrollable.of and Scrollable.ensureVisible functions are often used to interact with the Scrollable widget inside a ListView or a GridView.

To further customize scrolling behavior with a Scrollable:

  1. You can provide a viewportBuilder to customize the child model. For example, SingleChildScrollView uses a viewport that displays a single box child whereas CustomScrollView uses a Viewport or a ShrinkWrappingViewport, both of which display a list of slivers.

  2. You can provide a custom ScrollController that creates a custom ScrollPosition subclass. For example, PageView uses a PageController, which creates a page-oriented scroll position subclass that keeps the same page visible when the Scrollable resizes.
