ClipOval vs CircleAvatar


I'm new to Flutter and when I decided to build a user profile picture widget I found two widgets to make it circular: the ClipOval and CircleAvatar So what's the difference between them and when should I use each?


Solution

  • 'ClipOval' is a widget that clips its child using an oval. you can use this in anywhere of your application, But 'CircleAvatar' is the best choice for circle that represents a user. You can use 'CircleAvatar' to used with a user's profile image, or in the absence of such an image, the user's initials.
