ConstrainedBox class

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:
link 
ConstrainedBox(
  constraints: const BoxConstraints.expand(),
  child: const Card(child: Text('Hello World!')),
)

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

See also:

  • 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.
  • The catalog of layout widgets.

Methods

createElement() → SingleChildRenderObjectElement
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
inherited
createRenderObject(BuildContext context) → RenderConstrainedBox
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget.
override
debugDescribeChildren() → List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void
Add additional properties associated with the node.
override
didUnmountRenderObject(covariant RenderObject renderObject) → void
This method is called when a RenderObject that was previously associated with this widget is removed from the render tree. The provided RenderObject will be of the same type as the one created by this widget's createRenderObject method.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent 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.
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug, int wrapWidth = 65}) → 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.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
