Flexible class
A widget that controls how a child of a Row, Column, or Flex flexes.
Using a Flexible widget gives a child of a Row, Column, or Flex the flexibility to expand to fill the available space in the main axis (e.g., horizontally for a Row or vertically for a Column), but, unlike Expanded, Flexible does not require the child to fill the available space.
A Flexible widget must be a descendant of a Row, Column, or Flex, and the path from the Flexible widget to its enclosing Row, Column, or Flex must contain only StatelessWidgets or StatefulWidgets (not other kinds of widgets, like RenderObjectWidgets).
See also:
- Expanded, which forces the child to expand to fill the available space.
 - Spacer, a widget that takes up space proportional to its flex value.
