Layouts

Container

Container(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
  color: Colors.cyanAccent,
  width: 80.0,
  height: 80.0,
),

Row

MainAxisAlignment

Note: The below example is with CrossAxisAlignment.center

.center	.start	.end

.spaceEvenly	.spaceAround	.spaceBetween

CrossAxisAlignment

.center	.start	.end	.stretch

Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
  children: <Widget>[
  Container(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
    color: Colors.cyanAccent,
    width: 80.0,
    height: 80.0,
  ),
  Container(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
    color: Colors.blueAccent,
    width: 80.0,
    height: 80.0,
  ),
  Container(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
    color: Colors.orangeAccent,
    width: 80.0,
    height: 80.0,
  ),
  ],
),

Column

MainAxisAlignment

Note: The below example is with CrossAxisAlignment.center

.center	.start	.end	.spaceEvenly	.spaceAround	.spaceBetween

CrossAxisAlignment

.center	.start	.end	.stretch

Column(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
  children: <Widget>[
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
      color: Colors.cyanAccent,
      width: 80.0,
      height: 80.0,
    ),
    Container(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),

      color: Colors.orangeAccent,
      width: 80.0,
      height: 80.0,
    ),
  ],
),

Center

Center(child: Container(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
  color: Colors.cyanAccent,
  width: 80.0,
  height: 80.0,
))

Note: Center wraps any widget to center to its parent widget. (i.e orange is the parent widget)

Align

.topLeft	.topCenter	.topRight

.centerLeft	.center	.centerRight

.bottomLeft	.bottomCenter	.bottomRight

Align(
  alignment: Alignment.center, 
  child: Container(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
  color: Colors.cyanAccent,
  width: 80.0,
  height: 80.0,
))

Note: Align wraps any widget based on the Alignment direction to its parent widget. The default alignment for Align is center.

Padding

Padding(
  padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(24, 32, 24, 32) ,
  child: Container(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
  color: Colors.cyanAccent,
  width: 80.0,
  height: 80.0,
))

SizedBox

SizedBox(
  width: 200.0,
  height: 100.0,
  child: Card(
    color: Colors.indigoAccent,
    child: Center(
        child: Text('SizedBox',
            style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)
         )
       )
     )
   )

Note: SizedBox constraints its child widget to match based on specific size of width and height.

Expanded

Row	Column

Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
  children: <Widget>[
    Expanded(
      child: Container(color: Colors.cyan, height: 80),
      flex: 2,
    ),
    Expanded(
      child: Container(color: Colors.indigoAccent, height: 80),
      flex: 3,
    ),
    Expanded(
      child: Container(color: Colors.orange, height: 80),
      flex: 4,
    ),
  ],
),

Flexible

Row	Column

Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
  children: <Widget>[
    Flexible(
      child: Container(color: Colors.cyanAccent, height: 80, width: 80),
      flex: 2,
    ),
    Flexible(
    child: Container(color: Colors.indigoAccent, height: 80, width: 80),
      flex: 3,
    ),
    Flexible(
      child: Container(color: Colors.orange, height: 80, width: 80),
      flex: 4,
    ),
  ],
),

Hint:

1. To make Flexible behave similar to Expanded, then add fit: FlexFit.tight
2. By default fit type for Flexible is fit: FlexFit.loose.

ConstrainedBox

Expand	Expand with Height	Tight	Loose
BoxConstraints.expand()	BoxConstraints.expand(height: 100)	BoxConstraints.tight(Size(125, 100))	BoxConstraints.loose(Size(125, 100))

ConstrainedBox(
  constraints: BoxConstraints.expand(height: 100),
  child: Container(
    color: Colors.orange,
    child: Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(16), child: Text('Box Constraint', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),)),
))

Stack

AlignmentDirectional.centerStart	AlignmentDirectional.center	AlignmentDirectional.centerEnd

AlignmentDirectional.bottomStart	AlignmentDirectional.bottomCenter	AlignmentDirectional.bottomEnd

AlignmentDirectional.topStart	AlignmentDirectional.topCenter	AlignmentDirectional.topEnd

Stack(
  alignment: AlignmentDirectional.center,
    children: [
      Container(
        height: 200.0,
        width: 200.0,
        color: Colors.red,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 150.0,
        width: 150.0,
        color: Colors.blue,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 100.0,
        width: 100.0,
        color: Colors.green,
      ),
      Container(
        height: 50.0,
        width: 50.0,
        color: Colors.yellow,
      ),
    ],

Input Field

TextField

(Text box or Edit Text)

Under Line Style

Simple	Icon

Prefix	Suffix

TextField(
  decoration: InputDecoration(
  hintText: "Enter your name!",
  hintStyle: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.w300, color: Colors.blue),
  enabledBorder: new UnderlineInputBorder(
      borderSide: new BorderSide(color: Colors.blue)),
  focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
    borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.orange),
  ),
  ),
)

Outer Line Style

TextField(
  decoration: InputDecoration(
  hintText: "Enter your name!",
  hintStyle: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.w300, color: Colors.blue),
  enabledBorder: new OutlineInputBorder(
      borderSide: new BorderSide(color: Colors.blue)),
  focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
    borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.orange),
  ),
  ),
)

Note: Icon, Prefix Icon and Suffix Icon are similar to Underline TextField

TextFormField

TextFormField(
  style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
    obscureText: true, // Use secure text for passwords.
    decoration: InputDecoration(
    enabledBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.white)),
        focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
          borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.yellow)
    ),
    hintText: 'Password',
    hintStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
    labelText: 'Type your password',
    labelStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.yellow))
)

Sliver List

• SliverList takes a delegate parameter which provides the items in the list as they scroll into view.

• You can specify the actual list of children with a SliverChildListDelegate Or build them lazily with a SliverChildBuilderDelegate.

SliverList(
    delegate: SliverChildListDelegate(
      [
        Container(color: Colors.red, height: 150.0),
        Container(color: Colors.purple, height: 150.0),
        Container(color: Colors.green, height: 150.0),
      ],
    ),
);
// This builds an infinite scrollable list of differently colored 
// Containers.
SliverList(
    delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate((BuildContext context, int index) {
      // To convert this infinite list to a list with three items,
      // uncomment the following line:
      // if (index > 3) return null;
      return Container(color: getRandomColor(), height: 150.0);
    },
    // Or, uncomment the following line:
    // childCount: 3,
  ),
);
