asWidgetSpan method

InlineSpan asWidgetSpan(Widget child, { PlaceholderAlignment alignment = PlaceholderAlignment.baseline, TextBaseline? baseline = TextBaseline.alphabetic, })

child in a placeholder wrapped exactly the way the deprecated LinkBuilder's result is, with onTap attached.

The escape hatch for a link that genuinely has to be a widget. It cannot wrap across lines, is skipped by text selection, is one opaque character to the streaming reveal, and does not paint on iOS when nested inside another placeholder — prefer a span where the design allows.

Implementation

InlineSpan asWidgetSpan(
  Widget child, {
  PlaceholderAlignment alignment = PlaceholderAlignment.baseline,
  TextBaseline? baseline = TextBaseline.alphabetic,
}) {
  final tap = onTap;
  return scaledWidgetSpan(
    config: config,
    alignment: alignment,
    baseline: baseline,
    child: tap == null ? child : GestureDetector(onTap: tap, child: child),
  );
}
