advanced multi-child layouts

advanced multi-child layouts

this library provides several widgets and utilities that enable you to create advanced layouts without in-depth knowledge of the framework and minimal boilerplate.

flex layouts

advanced multi-child layouts

a common pattern is when you need one or more widgets in a row or column to have the same cross axis size
as another child in the list, you can achieve this layout using boxyrow and dominant, for example:

advanced multi-child layouts

boxyrow(
  mainaxissize: mainaxissize.min,
  children: [
    child1(),
    dominant(child: column(
      mainaxissize: mainaxissize.min,
      children: [
        child2(),
        child3(),
      ],
    )),
  ],
]);

complex custom layouts

advanced multi-child layouts

for more complex layouts this library provides customboxy, a multi-child layout widget that allows you to inflate,
constrain, lay out, and paint each child manually similar to a custommultichildlayout.

this is useful if you need layouts that no other widget can provide, for example one where one child is positioned above
the border of two others:

68747470733a2f2f692e7473742e73682f31675638592e706e67

class mylayout extends statelesswidget {
  final widget top;
  final widget middle;
  final widget bottom;
  
  // the margin between the middle widget and right edge
  final double inset;
  
  mylayout({
    @required this.top,
    @required this.middle,
    @required this.bottom,
    @required this.inset,
  });

  @override
  widget build(context) => customboxy(
    delegate: mydelegate(inset: inset),
    children: [
      // use layoutid to give each child an id
      layoutid(id: #top, child: top),
      layoutid(id: #bottom, child: bottom),
      // the middle widget should be rendered above the others
      // so we put it at the bottom of the list
      layoutid(id: #middle, child: middle),
    ],
  );
}

class mydelegate extends boxydelegate {
  final double inset;

  mydelegate({@required this.inset});
  
  @override
  size layout() {
    // get each child handle by a symbol id
    var top = getchild(#top);
    var middle = getchild(#middle);
    var bottom = getchild(#bottom);
    
    // children should have unbounded height
    var topconstraints = constraints.widthconstraints();
    
    // lay out and position top widget
    var topsize = title.layout(topconstraints);
    top.position(offset.zero);
    
    // lay out and position middle widget using size of top widget
    var middlesize = middle.layout(boxconstraints());
    middle.position(offset(
      topsize.width - (middle.width + inset),
      topsize.height - middle.height / 2,
    ));
    
    // lay out bottom widget
    var bottomsize = info.layout(topconstraints.tighten(
      // bottom widget should be same width as top widget
      width: topsize.width,
    ));
    
    // position bottom widget directly below top widget
    bottom.position(offset(0, topsize.height));
    
    // calculate total size
    return size(
      topsize.width,
      topsize.height + bottomsize.height,
    );
  }
  
  // check if any properties have changed
  @override
  bool shouldrelayout(mydelegate old) => old.inset != inset;
}

see the product tile example for an implementation of this
layout, and the documentation of customboxy for
more information.

sliver containers

advanced multi-child layouts

ever want to give sliverlist a box decoration? the sliver library
provides slivercontainer which allows you to use a box widget as the foreground or background of a sliver:

68747470733a2f2f692e7473742e73682f756137324c2e676966

this card effect can be achieved with slivercard:

slivercard(
  color: colors.white,
  clipbehavior: clip.antialias,
  sliver: sliverlist(...),
)

the following example uses slivercontainer to give sliverlist a rounded blue border:

slivercontainer(
  // how far the background will extend off-screen, prevents the border
  // from shrinking as the sliver is scrolled out of view
  bufferextent: 12.0,
  
  // the background and foreground are layed out to cover the visible
  // space of the sliver
  background: decoratedbox(
    border: border.all(
      color: colors.blue,
      width: 2,
    ),
    borderradius: borderradius.circular(12),
  ),

  margin: edgeinsets.all(8.0),
  padding: edgeinsets.all(8.0),
  sliver: sliverlist(...),
)

utilities

the utils library provides extensions with axis dependant
methods and constructors for several data types. these extensions make writing direction agnostic math significantly
easier.
