RichText class

A paragraph of rich text.

The RichText widget displays text that uses multiple different styles. The text to display is described using a tree of TextSpan objects, each of which has an associated style that is used for that subtree. The text might break across multiple lines or might all be displayed on the same line depending on the layout constraints.

Text displayed in a RichText widget must be explicitly styled. When picking which style to use, consider using DefaultTextStyle.of the current BuildContext to provide defaults. For more details on how to style text in a RichText widget, see the documentation for TextStyle.

Consider using the Text widget to integrate with the DefaultTextStyle automatically. When all the text uses the same style, the default constructor is less verbose. The Text.rich constructor allows you to style multiple spans with the default text style while still allowing specified styles per span.

RichText(
  text: TextSpan(
    text: 'Hello ',
    style: DefaultTextStyle.of(context).style,
    children: <TextSpan>[
      TextSpan(text: 'bold', style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
      TextSpan(text: ' world!'),
    ],
  ),
)

Properties

locale → Locale: Used to select a font when the same Unicode character can be rendered differently, depending on the locale. [...]

final
overflow → TextOverflow: How visual overflow should be handled.
final
softWrap → bool: Whether the text should break at soft line breaks. [...]
final
text → TextSpan: The text to display in this widget.
final
textAlign → TextAlign: How the text should be aligned horizontally.
final
textDirection → TextDirection: The directionality of the text. [...]
final
textScaleFactor → double: The number of font pixels for each logical pixel. [...]
final
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
key → Key: Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree. [...]
final, inherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
