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),
          ),
        )

You can see that the default alignment of Flutter container is top left. Let’s now practically customize that alignment.

Change Flutter Container Alignment(7 Examples)

To change the alignment of Flutter container widget, we have to use its alignment constructor. Below examples will cover every custom alignment of Flutter container. See below:

Example 1: Top Right

alignment: Alignment.topRight

alignment: Alignment.topLeft

alignment: Alignment.centerLeft

alignment: Alignment.centerRight

alignment: Alignment.center

alignment: Alignment.bottomLeft

alignment: Alignment.bottomRight

Customized Flutter Container Alignment 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 StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
        child: Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Container(
          alignment: Alignment.center,
          height: 150,
          width: 300,
          color: Colors.purple,
          child: Text(
            'Flutter Centered Container Alignment',
            style: TextStyle(fontSize: 17, color: Colors.white),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    ));
  }
}
