AnimatedContainer class

Animated version of Container that gradually changes its values over a period of time.

The AnimatedContainer will automatically animate between the old and new values of properties when they change using the provided curve and duration. Properties that are null are not animated. Its child and descendants are not animated.

This class is useful for generating simple implicit transitions between different parameters to Container with its internal AnimationController. For more complex animations, you'll likely want to use a subclass of AnimatedWidget such as the DecoratedBoxTransition or use your own AnimationController.

The following example (depicted above) transitions an AnimatedContainer between two states. It adjusts the height, width, color, and alignment properties when tapped.

Constructors

AnimatedContainer({Key? key, AlignmentGeometry? alignment, EdgeInsetsGeometry? padding, Color? color, Decoration? decoration, Decoration? foregroundDecoration, double? width, double? height, BoxConstraints? constraints, EdgeInsetsGeometry? margin, Matrix4? transform, AlignmentGeometry? transformAlignment, Widget? child, Clip clipBehavior = Clip.none, Curve curve = Curves.linear, required Duration duration, VoidCallback? onEnd})
Creates a container that animates its parameters implicitly.

Properties

alignment AlignmentGeometry?
Align the child within the container.
final
child Widget?
The child contained by the container.
final
clipBehavior Clip
The clip behavior when AnimatedContainer.decoration is not null.
final
constraints BoxConstraints?
Additional constraints to apply to the child.
final
curve Curve
The curve to apply when animating the parameters of this container.
finalinherited
decoration Decoration?
The decoration to paint behind the child.
final
duration Duration
The duration over which to animate the parameters of this container.
finalinherited

Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
margin EdgeInsetsGeometry?
Empty space to surround the decoration and child.
final
