Learn How To Use Flutter Image Asset-Easy Flutter Guide

In this Flutter guide, we will be learning how to use Flutter image asset. We will first see what Flutter image asset is, then we will implement it using an easy Flutter code example for proper understanding. I hope that after reading this post, you will easily use Flutter image asset in your own Flutter apps.

What is Flutter Image Asset?

It defines the process of taking image from the local asset and using/displaying it in the Flutter app. We will be practically implementing it with a proper example.

Implementing Flutter Image Asset(All Steps)

In order to implement Flutter image asset, we have to follow these steps.

Step 1

Creating a folder in the app directory of name assets and pass it the image file as shown in the above image.

Step 2

Now uncomment the asset statement in the pubspec.yaml file as seen in the above image.

Step 3

Now comes the coding part. For that, we have to use the Image.asset constructor. It takes a complete path of the image file. See the below code for practical understanding.

Image.asset(
      'assets/development.jpg',
      height: 200,
      width: 200,
      fit: BoxFit.cover,
    )

You can see that we have successfully implemented Flutter image asset in our Flutter app. The image that we have specified in our Image.asset constructor can be seen in the app’s screen. We also have given some width and height to the Flutter image asset. The box fit cover is used to fill the whole space in which the image is specified. By default, it is box fit contain.

So this is how you can easily use your local asset image in your Flutter app. If you still have any questions related to the implementation of Flutter image assets then let me know in the comment section. I would love to answer.

Below section has the complete Flutter source code in which the above implemented Flutter image asset is also included.

Flutter Image Asset Implementation 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: Image.asset(
      'assets/development.jpg',
      height: 200,
      width: 200,
      fit: BoxFit.cover,
    ))));
  }
}

Conclusion

To conclude, we have practically implemented Flutter image asset and have discussed it step by step so you can easily use Flutter image asset in your own Flutter apps. I would be glad to hear your thoughts regarding this post.
