Scaffold Widget and its Properties
In Flutter, the `Scaffold` widget provides a basic structure for implementing the Material Design layout in your app.
In Flutter, the Scaffold widget provides a basic structure for implementing the Material Design layout in your app. It acts as a container for different components like an AppBar, a Drawer, a BottomNavigationBar, a FloatingActionButton, and more. The Scaffold widget is typically used as the body of the MaterialApp widget.
Here's a basic example of using the Scaffold widget:
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('My App'),
),
body: Center(
child: Text('Hello, World!'),
),
);
In this example, the Scaffold contains an AppBar as the app bar and a Center widget with a text as the body content.
Here are some of the commonly used properties of the Scaffold widget in Flutter:
-
appBar: AnAppBarwidget that represents the app bar at the top of the screen. It typically contains a title, actions, and a leading widget like a back button or menu button. -
body: The main content of the screen, represented as a widget. It's the central part of the screen where you place your UI elements. -
floatingActionButton: An optionalFloatingActionButtonwidget that appears at the bottom right corner of the screen. It's often used for primary actions. -
