The extended_wrap package enhances Flutter's built-in Wrap widget with advanced layout capabilities, enabling developers to limit the number of rows in a wrap layout. It extends the standard Wrap functionality to support features like row count constraints, custom alignment, and improved control over child distribution. Ideal for responsive UIs where content must adapt within fixed vertical space, this package simplifies complex layouts without requiring custom render objects. It is particularly useful for dynamic lists, tags, or grids that need structured wrapping behavior.
Use cases
- Limiting row count in dynamic layouts
- Creating responsive tag clouds
