- Just like
ConstrainedBox
, you can constrain thechild
of this widget; - However, instead of passing directly a
BoxConstraints
, you pass anotherprototype
widget that will be used as constraint; - You may constrain the
child
loosely or tightly, in one or both of the axes.
Use the PrototypeConstrainedBox
widget by providing a prototype
and a child
.
The following example will render a ColoredBox
that will fill the space that the given prototype
text would occupy:
const PrototypeConstrainedBox.tight(
prototype: Text('Lorem ipsum dolor'),
child: ColoredBox(
color: Color(0xFFFF0000),
),
);
Aside from .tight
,
PrototypeConstrainedBox
also provides .loose
,
.tightFor
or you can completely customize the
constraints by using the default unnamed constructor.
For more information regarding the PrototypeConstrainedBox
API, refer to the documentation.
