flutter_gutter 0.1.1

Get your UI out of the gutter! Space your widgets consistently and easily.

Ensure all visual gaps between you widgets are consistent, adapted to the axis direction, and respond to screen size!

Core Features

Provides a Gutter and Margin that correspond to Material Design's Responsive Layout system .

These classes:

1. Are sized according to Material design's adaptive break points
2. Find their nearest Scrollabe, Column or Row ancestor and create a vertical gap for vertical ancestors, horizontal for horizontal ancestors

For more flexibility, you can also use an extension on BuildContext to reference the gutter and margin sizes directly: context.gutter, context.margin.

GutterSmall, GutterTiny and GutterLarge all provide gaps that are factors of the base gutter size for situations where larger or smaller gaps are more appropriate.

Example

Without flutter_gutter

return Column(
  chilren: [
    const Text('I hate using sized box.'),
    // I have to manually specify that I want a vertically aligned gap.
    // And I have to manually set an arbitrary size for the gap.
    SizedBox(height: 10),
    const Text('If only there were a better way...'),
  ],
);

With flutter_gutter

return Column(
  chilren: [
    const Text('I hate using sized box.'),
    // Gutter identified that it's nearest relevant ancestor was a column, so it creates a vertical gap!
    // It expands and contracts according to Material Design's adaptive breakpoint definitions so it looks good on all screen sizes!
    Gutter(),
    const Text('And now I don\'t have to!'),
  ],
);
