description
A list of all the supported CSS style like shortcuts you can use as properties in your pug tags. These will then transform themselves into the appropriate Dart code.

CSS style properties

alignment

Describes where the content of a child should be positioned. Eg: text inside of a container.

Maps to Flutter Alignment values in camelcase.

Valid values:

bottom-center: The center point along the bottom edge
bottom-left: The bottom left corner
bottom-right: The bottom right corner
center: The center point, both horizontally and vertically
center-left: The center point along the left edge
center-right: The center point along the right edge
top-center: The center point along the top edge
top-left: The top left corner
top-right: The top right corner

Example:

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Pug" %}

container(width=500 height=400)
    .greeting(alignment='center-right')
        | Hello, I am positioned at the right!

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Dart" %}

Container(
  child: 
  Container(
    child: Text( 
      'Hello, I am positioned at the right!',
    ),
    alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
  ),
  width: 500,
  height: 400,
)

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

fit

Describes how a box should be inscribed into another box. Used for the **** FittedBox Flutter container. Use the background-size style property instead if you want to apply a sizing to a background-image.

Maps to Flutter BoxFit values in camelcase.

Valid values:

contain: As large as possible while still containing the source entirely within the target box
cover: As small as possible while still covering the entire target box.
fill: Fill the target box by distorting the source's aspect ratio.
fill-height: Make sure the full height of the source is shown, regardless of whether this means the source overflows the target box horizontally.
fill-width: Make sure the full width of the source is shown, regardless of whether this means the source overflows the target box vertically.
none: Align the source within the target box (by default, centering) and discard any portions of the source that lie outside the box. The source image is not resized.
scale-down: Align the source within the target box (by default, centering) and, if necessary, scale the source down to ensure that the source fits within the box. This is the same as contain if that would shrink the image, otherwise it is the same as none.

See the Flutter BoxFit documentation for more information on these options.

Example:

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Pug" %}

.cover-image(
    background-image="asset('images/background.jpg')"
    fit='cover')

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Dart" %}

Container(
  decoration: BoxDecoration( 
    image: DecorationImage( 
      image: AssetImage(
        'images/background.jpg',
      ),
      fit: BoxFit.cover,
    ),
)

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

shape

Describes how the container should be shaped.

Maps to Flutter BoxShape values in camelcase. Creates a Flutter BoxDecoration with the shape property set to to the value you pass.

Valid values:

circle: A circle centered in the middle of the box into which the Border or BoxDecoration is painted. The diameter of the circle is the shortest dimension of the box, either the width or the height, such that the circle touches the edges of the box.
rectangle: An axis-aligned, 2D rectangle. May have rounded corners (described by a BorderRadius). The edges of the rectangle will match the edges of the box into which the Border or BoxDecoration is painted.

Example:

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Pug" %}

.cover-image(
    background-image="asset('images/background.jpg')"
    shape='circle')
