ParentDataWidget<T extends ParentData> class Null safety

Base class for widgets that hook ParentData information to children of RenderObjectWidgets.

This can be used to provide per-child configuration for RenderObjectWidgets with more than one child. For example, Stack uses the Positioned parent data widget to position each child.

A ParentDataWidget is specific to a particular kind of ParentData. That class is T, the ParentData type argument.

This example shows how you would build a ParentDataWidget to configure a FrogJar widget's children by specifying a Size for each one.

class FrogSize extends ParentDataWidget<FrogJarParentData> {
  const FrogSize({
    super.key,
    required this.size,
    required super.child,
  });

  final Size size;

  @override
  void applyParentData(RenderObject renderObject) {
    final FrogJarParentData parentData = renderObject.parentData! as FrogJarParentData;
    if (parentData.size != size) {
      parentData.size = size;
      final RenderFrogJar targetParent = renderObject.parent! as RenderFrogJar;
      targetParent.markNeedsLayout();
    }
  }

  @override
  Type get debugTypicalAncestorWidgetClass => FrogJar;
}

Constructors

ParentDataWidget({Key? key, required Widget child}): Abstract const constructor. This constructor enables subclasses to provide const constructors so that they can be used in const expressions.

Properties

child → Widget: The widget below this widget in the tree.
final, inherited
debugTypicalAncestorWidgetClass → Type: The RenderObjectWidget that is typically used to set up the ParentData that applyParentData will write to.
read-only
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
@nonVirtual, 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.
read-only, inherited

Methods

applyParentData(RenderObject renderObject) → void: Write the data from this widget into the given render object's parent data.
@protected
createElement() → ParentDataElement<T>: Inflates this configuration to a concrete instance.
override
debugCanApplyOutOfTurn() → bool: Whether the ParentDataElement.applyWidgetOutOfTurn method is allowed with this widget.
@protected
debugDescribeChildren() → List<DiagnosticsNode>: Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
@protected, inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void: Add additional properties associated with the node.
inherited
debugIsValidRenderObject(RenderObject renderObject) → bool: Checks if this widget can apply its parent data to the provided renderObject.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode: Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String: A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String: Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String: Returns a one-line detailed description of the object.
inherited
toStringShort() → String: A short, textual description of this widget.
