In this Flutter post, we will be practically customizing the Flutter container alignment with the help of an easy Flutter example for better understanding. Everything about changing Flutter container alignment will be explained step by step so you can change alignment of Flutter container widget in your own Flutter apps with ease.
That means we should not wait more to customize Flutter container alignment. So let’s just get right into it.
What is Flutter Container Alignment?
It defines the position of the child widget of Flutter container. Don’t worry, you will understand it in detail when we practically discuss it with Flutter code. First we will see what the default Flutter container alignment is, then we will change its alignment.
Default Flutter Container Alignment
For that, we will create a Flutter container widget with some height, width and also give that container a background color. Then we will give it a child text widget with a white color in order for it to be clearly visible.. In this way, we will see the default Flutter container alignment. Just make sure that the container is big so you can clearly see the default alignment. See the below code:
Container( height: 200, width: 300, color: Colors.blue, child: Text( 'Default container alignment', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 17, color: Colors.white), ), )
