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 RenderObject, and thus also to a particular RenderObjectWidget class. That class is T, the ParentDataWidget type argument.

Constructors

ParentDataWidget({Key key, Widget child })

Abstract const constructor. This constructor enables subclasses to provide const constructors so that they can be used in const expressions.

const

Properties

child Widget

The widget below this widget in the tree.

read-only, inherited
hashCode int

Get a hash code for this object.

read-only, inherited
key Key

Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.

read-only, inherited
runtimeType Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Operators

operator ==(other) bool

The equality operator.

Methods

applyParentData(RenderObject renderObject) → void

Write the data from this widget into the given render object's parent data.

createElement() ParentDataElement<T>

Inflates this configuration to a concrete instance.

debugDescribeInvalidAncestorChain({String description, String ownershipChain, bool foundValidAncestor, Iterable<Widget> badAncestors }) String

Subclasses should override this to describe the requirements for using the ParentDataWidget subclass. It is called when debugIsValidAncestor() returned false for an ancestor, or when there are extraneous ParentDataWidgets in the ancestor chain.

debugIsValidAncestor(RenderObjectWidget ancestor) bool

Subclasses should override this method to return true if the given ancestor is a RenderObjectWidget that wraps a RenderObject that can handle the kind of ParentData widget that the ParentDataWidget subclass handles.

debugFillDescription(List<String> description) → void

Add additional information to the given description for use by toString.

inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.

inherited
toString() String

Returns a string representation of this object.

inherited
toStringShort() String

A short, textual description of this widget.
