Viewport class

A widget through which a portion of larger content can be viewed, typically in combination with a Scrollable.

Viewport is the visual workhorse of the scrolling machinery. It displays a subset of its children according to its own dimensions and the given offset. As the offset varies, different children are visible through the viewport.

Viewport hosts a bidirectional list of slivers, anchored on a center sliver, which is placed at the zero scroll offset. The center widget is displayed in the viewport according to the anchor property.

Slivers that are earlier in the child list than center are displayed in reverse order in the reverse axisDirection starting from the center. For example, if the axisDirection is AxisDirection.down, the first sliver before center is placed above the center. The slivers that are later in the child list than center are placed in order in the axisDirection. For example, in the preceding scenario, the first sliver after center is placed below the center.

Viewport cannot contain box children directly. Instead, use a SliverList, SliverFixedExtentList, SliverGrid, or a SliverToBoxAdapter, for example.

Constructors

Viewport({Key? key, AxisDirection axisDirection = AxisDirection.down, AxisDirection? crossAxisDirection, double anchor = 0.0, required ViewportOffset offset, Key? center, double? cacheExtent, CacheExtentStyle cacheExtentStyle = CacheExtentStyle.pixel, Clip clipBehavior = Clip.hardEdge, List<Widget> slivers = const <Widget>[]})
Creates a widget that is bigger on the inside.

Properties

anchor double
The relative position of the zero scroll offset.

axisDirection AxisDirection
The direction in which the offset's ViewportOffset.pixels increases.
final
cacheExtent double?
The viewport has an area before and after the visible area to cache items that are about to become visible when the user scrolls.
final
cacheExtentStyle CacheExtentStyle
Controls how the cacheExtent is interpreted.
final
center Key?
The first child in the GrowthDirection.forward growth direction.
final
children List<Widget>
The widgets below this widget in the tree.

clipBehavior Clip
The content will be clipped (or not) according to this option.
final
crossAxisDirection AxisDirection?
The direction in which child should be laid out in the cross axis.
final
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.

Methods

createElement() MultiChildRenderObjectElement
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
override
createRenderObject(BuildContext context) RenderViewport
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget.
override
debugDescribeChildren() List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void
Add additional properties associated with the node.
override
didUnmountRenderObject(covariant RenderObject renderObject) → void
A render object previously associated with this widget has been removed from the tree. The given RenderObject will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) DiagnosticsNode
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) String
Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) String

inherited
toStringShort() String
A short, textual description of this widget.
inherited
updateRenderObject(BuildContext context, covariant RenderViewport renderObject) → void
Copies the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget to the given RenderObject, which will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.
