IgnorePointer class

A widget that is invisible to hit-testing.

When ignoring is true (the default), the widget's subtree cannot receive mouse events via hit-testing. In a Stack, this causes events to fall through to siblings painted below.

This is useful for overlays (e.g., DebugOverlay) that should be visible but not block mouse interaction with the content underneath.

Stack(
  children: [
    interactiveContent,
    IgnorePointer(
      child: Align(
        alignment: Alignment.topRight,
        child: overlayWidget,
      ),
    ),
  ],
)
