Navigationrail leading/trailing align to left

Question

I have a Navigationrail widget with a button to extend/collapse it. Trailing/leading widgets in one line with NavigationRailDestination when extend=false, but when extend=true trailing/leading widgets always align to center.

Is it possible to align it to the left/right?

My goal: trailing/leading widgets should not change it's positions to center when navigationrail extended.

I found a solution by editing this example: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/NavigationRail/extendedAnimation.html

Solution: use Animation of NavigationRail

final Animation<double> animation =
        NavigationRail.extendedAnimation(context);

and then change the width/padding according to it with lerpDouble function:

padding: EdgeInsets.only(
        right: lerpDouble(0, 200, animation.value)!,
        bottom: 30,
      ),

Full working code:

import 'dart:ui';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class NavigationRailMenuButton extends StatelessWidget {

   const NavigationRailMenuButton({super.key, this.onPressed});
   final VoidCallback? onPressed;
   
   @override
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final Animation<double> animation =
        NavigationRail.extendedAnimation(context);
    return AnimatedBuilder(
      animation: animation,
      builder: (BuildContext context, Widget? child) {
        return Container(
          padding: EdgeInsets.only(
            right: lerpDouble(0, 200, animation.value)!,
          ),
          child: IconButton(
            icon: const Icon(Icons.menu),
            iconSize: 32,
            onPressed: onPressed,
          ),
        );
      },
    );
  }
}
