SlottedMultiChildRenderObjectWidget<SlotType, ChildType extends RenderObject> class abstract

A superclass for RenderObjectWidgets that configure RenderObject subclasses that organize their children in different slots.

Implementers of this mixin have to provide the list of available slots by overriding slots. The list of slots must never change for a given class implementing this mixin. In the common case, Enum values are used as slots and slots is typically implemented to return the value of the enum's values getter.

Furthermore, childForSlot must be implemented to return the current widget configuration for a given slot.

The RenderObject returned by createRenderObject and updated by updateRenderObject must implement SlottedContainerRenderObjectMixin.

The type parameter SlotType is the type for the slots to be used by this RenderObjectWidget and the RenderObject it configures. In the typical case, SlotType is an Enum type.

The type parameter ChildType is the type used for the RenderObject children (e.g. RenderBox or RenderSliver). In the typical case, ChildType is RenderBox. This class does not support having different kinds of children for different slots.

This example uses the SlottedMultiChildRenderObjectWidget in combination with the SlottedContainerRenderObjectMixin to implement a widget that provides two slots: topLeft and bottomRight. The widget arranges the children in those slots diagonally.

Methods

childForSlot(SlotType slot) Widget?
Returns the widget that is currently occupying the provided slot.
inherited
createElement() SlottedRenderObjectElement<SlotType, ChildType>
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
inherited
createRenderObject(BuildContext context) SlottedContainerRenderObjectMixin<SlotType, ChildType>
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget.
inherited
debugDescribeChildren() List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void
Add additional properties associated with the node.
inherited
didUnmountRenderObject(covariant RenderObject renderObject) → void
A render object previously associated with this widget has been removed from the tree. The given RenderObject will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent 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.
inherited
updateRenderObject(BuildContext context, covariant RenderObject renderObject) → void
Copies the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget to the given RenderObject, which will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.
