IntrinsicGridView is a Flutter package that implements a custom GridView with intrinsic width and height for its children, arranged in a 2D grid. It supports both horizontal and vertical layouts through two named constructors, enabling flexible and responsive grid designs. The package ensures each child maintains its natural size while fitting within the grid structure, making it ideal for content that requires consistent sizing without fixed dimensions. It works across all major platforms: Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
