Understanding Flutter Widgets: An In-Depth Series

Hey fellow developers, newbies and pros alike!!!

Whenever you say the F word (Flutter) you will hear everyone around you say the same thing “EVERYTHING IS A WIDGET”

But the question is, what is a widget? Let me simplify that for you.

🔍 What Is a Widget, really?

Widgets are the fundamental building blocks of a Flutter app. Think of them like the toy blocks you used to play with as a kid—remember stacking, balancing, and joining them to build your dream castle? App development in Flutter follows a similar idea. You piece together different widgets to construct your dream app’s interface and functionality.

Just like building blocks, Flutter widgets follow certain rules. For instance, you can place a Text widget inside a Container, but not the other way around. That’s because each widget has a role to play, and they need to relate to each other in a meaningful, structured way—just like stacking blocks of the right shape and size.

Now you must be thinking, how do I know when to use which widget?

This series is here to answer that very question.
