flutter – correct way to create a box that starts at minHeight, grows to maxHeight

by

There’s no notion of “Starts from max/min size”.

The thing is, ContrainedBox only add constraints to it’s child. But in the end, it doesn’t pick a size.

If you want your child to hit minSize, then they have to not expend. Which translate into not having a width/height of double.INFINITY. Fact is that double.INFINITY is the default value of many widgets, including Container.

On the other hand, some widgets such as DecoratedBox have a default size of 0.
Which means that this code :

return new ConstrainedBox(
  constraints: new BoxConstraints(
    minHeight: 5.0,
    minWidth: 5.0,
    maxHeight: 30.0,
    maxWidth: 30.0,
  ),
  child: new DecoratedBox(
    decoration: new BoxDecoration(color: Colors.red),
  ),
);

Will render a 5.0*5.0 red square.
