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

The same behavior can be obtained using the new 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.
