ContentLayerWidget class abstract

A widget that can be displayed as a layer in a ContentLayers widget.

ContentLayers uses a special type of layer widget to avoid timing issues with Flutter's build order. This timing issue is only a concern when a layer widget inspects content layout within ContentLayers. However, to prevent developer confusion and mistakes, all layer widgets are forced to be ContentLayerWidgets.

Extend ContentLayerStatefulWidget to create a layer that's based on the content layout within the ancestor ContentLayers, and requires mutable state.

Extend ContentLayerStatelessWidget to create a layer that's based on the content layout within the ancestor ContentLayers, but doesn't require mutable state.

To quickly and easily build a layer from a traditional widget tree, create a ContentLayerProxyWidget with the desired subtree. This approach is a quicker and more convenient alternative to ContentLayerStatelessWidget for the simplest of layer trees.
