ExpandedComponent

class ExpandedComponent

extends SingleLayoutComponent

with ParentIsA<LinearLayoutComponent>

Warning: Experimental. API and behavior may change.

Works similarly to flutter’s Expanded widget. This component must be a direct child of a LinearLayoutComponent. While this component does not do much on its own, it allows its parent LinearLayoutComponent to alter its computations and allow it to take up any free space in the main axis.

If its parent LinearLayoutComponent shrink-wraps in the main axis, then this component isn’t expanded.

ExpandedComponent never tries to shrink-wrap. It only ever reports intrinsicSize to its parent, and receives sizing information from its parent.

However, it does need to report to its parent when its child changes size. This is less important along the main-axis, and more important along the cross-axis.

Example usage:

ColumnComponent(
  children: [
    ExpandedComponent(
      child: TextComponent(text: 'foo'),
    );
    TextComponent(text: 'bar')
  ],
);

Constructors

ExpandedComponent({super.key, super.position, super.anchor, super.priority, this.inflateChild = true, super.child})

Properties

inflateChild : bool

Whether or not this ExpandedComponent will set child’s size to its own
