Gapped class

A widget list with automatic Gap spacing between children.

Gapped provides a convenient way to create a list of widgets with consistent spacing between them, without manually adding Gap widgets.

The spacing parameter defines the size of the gap between widgets. It must be non-null and positive.

The optional crossAxisExtent parameter allows you to specify the gap size along the cross axis (e.g., width of gap in a Column).

The optional color parameter is useful for debugging to visualize where gaps are placed.

Example:

Column(
  children: Gapped(
    spacing: 16,
    children: [
      Text('First item'),
      Text('Second item'),
      Text('Third item'),
    ],
  ),
)

This is equivalent to:

Column(
  children: [
    Text('First item'),
    Gap(16),
    Text('Second item'),
    Gap(16),
    Text('Third item'),
  ],
)

  • Gap, which creates a fixed-size gap.
  • GappedSlivers, for adding gaps between slivers.
