How to Easily Adjust the Height of a Container in Flutter to Match Its Sibling

When working with Flutter, developers often face challenges with UI layouts. One common problem is needing to ensure that one widget aligns perfectly with the height of another, especially when the content varies. For instance, if you have a bold black line next to a text widget whose size can change, how can you ensure that the line remains the same height as the text?

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at this issue and present a straightforward solution to align the height of a container with that of its sibling widget.

The Problem at Hand

Imagine you have two widgets arranged in a row:

A black line (represented as a container).

A text widget that can grow or shrink depending on the amount of content.

In Flutter, it’s essential to maintain a harmonious UI where containers share the same height for visual appeal. The challenge is to make the first container (the black line) dynamically adjust its height to match that of the text widget.

Solution: Using IntrinsicHeight Widget

To resolve the height discrepancy between the widgets, Flutter provides a handy widget called IntrinsicHeight. This widget makes it possible for its children to take the maximum height of any of the children provided.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Here’s how you can utilize the IntrinsicHeight widget to align your black line with the text widget:

Wrap both widgets in an IntrinsicHeight widget: This allows the container to assume the height of its tallest sibling.

Set the height of the line container to double.infinity: This makes the container expand to the maximum height available.

Example Code

Here’s a snippet that demonstrates the above solution:

Explanation of the Code

IntrinsicHeight Widget: This ensures that the height of each widget inside it is consistent, aligning them based on the tallest child.

Container: The black line is defined with height: double.infinity, which enables it to stretch vertically to match the height of the text widget.

Row: Both widgets are placed in a horizontal line, maintaining their alignment.

Conclusion

Aligning the height of a container with that of its sibling doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By leveraging the IntrinsicHeight widget in Flutter, you can create a visually appealing and responsive layout that enhances user experience.
