position method

Widget position(PositionType position, [ Key? key ])

Sets the position type for this widget to control positioning context.

Determines whether this widget establishes a positioning context for its absolutely positioned children (when used with AbsoluteItem).

• PositionType.none (default): Does not establish a positioning context. Absolutely positioned children will skip this element and position themselves relative to the nearest ancestor with PositionType.relative.

• PositionType.relative: Establishes a positioning context. Absolutely positioned children will position themselves relative to this element's edges.

This is similar to CSS positioning where position: static doesn't create a containing block, while position: relative does.

The optional key parameter assigns a key to the wrapped widget.

Example:

// Create a positioning context for absolutely positioned children
Container()
  .position(PositionType.relative)
  .width(200.size)
  .height(200.size),

Implementation

Widget position(PositionType position, [Key? key]) {
  return _WidgetWrapper._wrapOrCopyWith(
    child: this,
    key: key != null ? () => key : null,
    position: () => position,
  );
}
