AutoDivider

Inspired by Gap. Flutter widgets for easily adding gaps or dividers inside Flex widgets such as Columns and Rows or scrolling views.

Introduction

AutoDivider

When it comes to add divider between widgets inside a Column or a Row, we can add a Divider inside a Column, and add a VerticalDivider inside a Row, it's very verbose.

AutoDivider ia another option. It's like Divider but you don't have to know if it's inside a Row or a Column. So that it's less verbose than using a Divider and VerticalDivider.

Getting started

In your library add the following import:

import 'package:auto_divider/auto_divider.dart';

Then you just have to add a AutoDivider inside a Column or a Row with the specified extent.

return Column(
  children: <Widget>[
    Container(color: Colors.red, height: 20),
    const AutoDivider(mainAxisExtent: 20), // Adds a divider with space of 20 pixels.
    Container(color: Colors.red, height: 20),
  ],
);

The AutoDivider widget also works inside Scrollable widgets such as ListViews. In these cases, it will occupy the space in the same direction as the Scrollable.

Gap

This package also comes with a Gap widget. The Gap widget will add empty space in a Column or a Row with the specified size.

Other parameters

By default a Gap will have no extent in the opposite direction of the Flex parent. If you want the Gap to have a color, you'll have to set the color and the crossAxisExtent parameters. You can also use the Gap.expand constructor to expand the Gap in the opposite direction of the Flex parent.

SliverGap

There is also a Sliver version of the Gap widget:

return CustomScrollView(
  slivers: <Widget>[
    const SliverGap(20), // Adds an empty space of 20 pixels.
  ],
);
