How to dynamically resize text in Flutter?

Question

I retrieve a piece of text from an API. I want to allot a set amount of space to it (say a max Container with width: 300.0 and height: 100.0). Sometimes, the piece of text fits

Answer 1

Easiest thing I found was auto_size_text: ^2.1.0. As simple as importing the dependency and using AutoSizeText() instead of Text()

import 'package:auto_size_text/auto_size_text.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(App());
}

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: SizedBox(
            width: 200.0,
            height: 140.0,
            child: AutoSizeText(
              'This string will be automatically resized to fit in two lines.',
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30.0),
              maxLines: 2,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
