Tag: slivers

For a long list, never use shrinkWrap. Use Expanded when the list is the only scrollable, and slivers (CustomScrollView) when it shares a scroll with other sections. Here is why, with a build-count benchmark.

The slivers list of a CustomScrollView only accepts slivers. Wrap box widgets in SliverToBoxAdapter, or swap ListView/Padding/Column for SliverList and SliverPadding.

Put a list and a grid in a single continuous scroll without nested scrollables. Use CustomScrollView with SliverList and SliverGrid, and skip the shrinkWrap trap that quietly kills performance.
