Expanded Flutter Widget

Almost every flutter layout uses rows and columns, and they’re pretty cool. They can hug their children tightly:

or spread them out and relax:

But what if you’d like one of those children to stretch and fill the extra space?

Just wrap it in an expanded widget and watch it grow.

When a row or column lays out its children it does the inflexible ones first. Then it divides the remaining space among the flexible ones, like expanded.

You can even set a flex factor, just in case of a competition.
