In this article, we will discuss how to change Flutter RaisedButton width and implement it using proper Flutter example so you have better idea of how to change and customize Flutter RaisedButton width.
What is Flutter RaisedButton Width?
Flutter RaisedButton width, as the name suggests, it is the horizontal space that he Flutter RaisedButton will cover. In this post we will see how we can increase or decrease the Flutter RaisedButton width. So let’s not waste anymore time and start implementing the customization of Flutter RaisedButton width using an easy Flutter example.
Default Flutter RaisedButton Width
To see the default Flutter RaisedButton width, we have to define a simple Flutter RaisedButton. We also have to use the onPressed constructor as it is required constructor. See the below code:
RaisedButton( onPressed: () {})

As you can see in the above image, we have a raised button with a greyish background and we haven’t specified any child here here which is usually a Flutter text widget which shows the purpose of the raised button like login, singup or click here etc. We haven’t specified anything to show the default Flutter RaisedButton width.
Let’s now give it a Flutter text widget using the child constructor of the Flutter RaisedButton widget then we will implement the customization of Flutter RaisedButton width. See the below code:
RaisedButton( onPressed: () {}, child: Text('Click here'), )

Change Flutter RaisedButton Width
To change the width of Flutter RaisedButton, we have to use the padding constructor of the Flutter RaisedButton widget class. We have passed edge in sets symmetric and have passed a larger integer value to its horizontal constructor, as it takes a double value but passing it int will also work. See the below code:
RaisedButton( onPressed: () {}, padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 80), child: Text('Click here'), )

Custom Flutter RaisedButton Design Source Code
import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(const MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, home: Homepage(), ); } } class Homepage extends StatefulWidget { @override State<Homepage> createState() => _HomepageState(); } class _HomepageState extends State<Homepage> { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return SafeArea( child: Scaffold( body: Center( child: Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 40), child: Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, children: [ RaisedButton( onPressed: () {}, padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 100, vertical: 20), elevation: 10, shape: RoundedRectangleBorder( borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50) .copyWith(bottomRight: Radius.circular(0)), ), color: Colors.blue, child: Text( 'Click here', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 16), ), ) ], ))), )); } }
