SizedBox class

A box with a specified size.

If given a child, this widget forces its child to have a specific width and/or height (assuming values are permitted by this widget's parent). If either the width or height is null, this widget will size itself to match the child's size in that dimension.

If not given a child, this widget will size itself to the given width and height, treating nulls as zero.

The new SizedBox.expand constructor can be used to make a SizedBox that sizes itself to fit the parent. It is equivalent to setting width and height to double.infinity.

This snippet makes the child widget (a Card with some Text) have the exact size 200x300, parental constraints permitting: 
SizedBox(
  width: 200.0,
  height: 300.0,
  child: const Card(child: Text('Hello World!')),
)

  • UnconstrainedBox, a container that tries to let its child draw without constraints.
  • FractionallySizedBox, a widget that sizes its child to a fraction of the total available space.
  • AspectRatio, a widget that attempts to fit within the parent's constraints while also sizing its child to match a given aspect ratio.
  • FittedBox, which sizes and positions its child widget to fit the parent according to a given BoxFit discipline.

Constructors

SizedBox({Key key, double width, double height, Widget child })
Creates a fixed size box. The width and height parameters can be null to indicate that the size of the box should not be constrained in the corresponding dimension.
const
SizedBox.expand({Key key, Widget child })
Creates a box that will become as large as its parent allows.
const
SizedBox.fromSize({Key key, Widget child, Size size })
Creates a box with the specified size.
SizedBox.shrink({Key key, Widget child })
Creates a box that will become as small as its parent allows.
