It goes without saying that one of the best sources for information about Flutter are the API docs. Many of the widgets provide detailed explanations with useful samples.
If you have a specific widget you’re trying to use the docs are extremely helpful but if you’re new to Flutter and just want to do a bit of reading up it can be hard to find some of this great content. So of course as a developer I wrote a script…
The following list shows the widgets included in the material library sorted in reverse order by length of the explanation text.
