In carousel_slider "items" is defined as "The widgets to be shown in the carousel of default constructor" and "items" has a type of "{List items}". What does the "items: child" mean in the code below? To be specific which child widget does it refer to?
class CarouselDemo extends StatelessWidget {
CarouselController buttonCarouselController = CarouselController();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) => Column(
children: <Widget>[
CarouselSlider(
**items: child,**
carouselController: buttonCarouselController,
options: CarouselOptions(
autoPlay: false,
enlargeCenterPage: true,
viewportFraction: 0.9,
aspectRatio: 2.0,
initialPage: 2,
),
),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: () => buttonCarouselController.nextPage(
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300), curve: Curves.linear),
child: Text('→'),
)
]
);
}
I think you can ignore it (maybe a typo) and use it as the other examples:
CarouselSlider(
options: CarouselOptions(height: 400.0),
items: [1,2,3,4,5].map((i) {
return Builder(
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Container(
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.amber
),
child: Text('text $i', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0),)
);
},
);
}).toList(),
)
It is just the items that you want to show on the carousel.
As the docs (https://pub.dev/documentation/carousel_slider/latest/carousel_slider/CarouselSlider-class.html) says:
items → List<Widget> The widgets to be shown in the carousel of default constructor.
So you just need to provide a List of the type Widget and it can be anything: an image, container, you name it.
