A Flutter widget that imposes different constraints on its child than it gets from its parent

intrinsic_size_overflow_box

A Flutter widget that imposes different constraints on its child than it gets from its parent, possibly allowing the child to overflow the parent.

Similar to OverflowBox except that the unconstrained width or height is sized to the intrinsic size of the child, instead of being assumed to be infinite, which allows IntrinsicSizeOverflowBox to be used in a Scrollable widget.

Getting Started

Add this to your app’s pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  intrinsic_size_overflow_box: ^0.1.0

Usage

Then you have to import the package with:

import 'package:intrinsic_size_overflow_box/intrinsic_size_overflow_box.dart';

And use IntrinsicSizeOverflowBox where appropriate. For example:

ListView(
  children: const [
      IntrinsicSizeOverflowBox(
          maxWidth: 700.0,
          child: Text(text),
      ),
  ],
),
