SlottedMultiChildRenderObjectWidgetMixin<S> mixin Null safety

A mixin for a RenderObjectWidget that configures a RenderObject subclass, which organizes its 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 the SlottedContainerRenderObjectMixin.

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

This example uses the SlottedMultiChildRenderObjectWidgetMixin 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.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.SlottedMultiChildRenderObjectWidgetMixin.1 mysample
