[SOLVED] Display Long form text in Text Widget : Flutter

Display Long form text in Text Widget : Flutter

I'm trying to create Legal pages in my app such as terms and conditions and privacy policy pages.

Does Flutter have a widget that is specifically design to take in long form text besides using the default Text widget? Or is there a hack to this? Perhaps reading from a text file or so?

I'm trying to avoid using multiple Text widgets in my dart file to display my long form legal pages.

Thanks.

Solution

Expanded(            
    child: Text(
      'a long text',
      overflow: TextOverflow.clip,
    ),
),

If you have various styling in the Text you can use RichText

RichText(
  overflow: TextOverflow.clip
  text: TextSpan(
    text: 'Hello ',
    style: DefaultTextStyle.of(context).style,
    children: <TextSpan>[
      TextSpan(text: 'Super long bolded text here', style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
      TextSpan(text: 'Super long unbolded text here'),
    ],
  ),
)
