Text softWrap overflow

[Kevin Segaud]

Hi all,

I try to create some card with some text and if the text is too long i would like the text auto create new line.

In the documentation i have found that the Text object have a named parameters softWrap but in the source this parameters doesn't exist.

Have you some insight ?

Looks like that feature was added in this change:

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/commit/36d437d6f281d2a87f09cfcd06efeb29d67752d1

which is newer than the current alpha branch.  If you run "flutter --version", you can see exactly what version of flutter you're using.

I've updated the alpha branch just now.  If you run "flutter upgrade", you should get the new code.

new Text(quote.text,softWrap: true, overflow: TextOverflow.clip)

softWrap:true is the default. The problem is more likely that you are putting the text in a widget that itself doesn't know how wide it should be, so it's just wrapping the child. For example, maybe the Text is in a Row?

If so, you need to constrain the Text somehow. For example, by putting the Text in a Flexible() widget (which tells the Row to fit the Text in the remaining space after it's laid out all the other children).
