When building a user interface in Flutter, we often find ourselves needing to customize the look and feel of our widgets to make them more visually appealing and functional. One such customization we might want to make is to add margin to an Elevated Button. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to set margin inside an Elevated Button in Flutter.

When we create an Elevated Button in Flutter using the `ElevatedButton` widget, we don’t have a direct way to add margin to it from the `ElevatedButton` constructor. But, we can still achieve this by wrapping the `ElevatedButton` with another widget that provides the margin we need.

Solution:

To add margin inside an Elevated Button in Flutter, we can use the `Container` widget and wrap our `ElevatedButton` in it. The `Container` widget provides a variety of properties that allow us to customize the layout and appearance of its child widget, including margin.

Here’s an example of how to do this:

ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
// Button pressed action
},
child: Container(
  margin: EdgeInsets.all(10), // add margin here
    child: Text('Button Text'),
  ),
);

Dart

In this example, we’re wrapping the `Text` widget inside the `ElevatedButton` with a `Container`.

We then set the `margin` property of the `Container` to `EdgeInsets.all(10)`, which adds a 10-pixel margin to all sides of the `ElevatedButton`.

The Result

By wrapping the `ElevatedButton` with a `Container` and setting the `margin` property, we’ve successfully added margin inside the Elevated Button. The button now has a 10-pixel margin around its border, making it look cleaner and more spaced out.

Conclusion

we’ve learned how to add margin inside an Elevated Button in Flutter. We’ve seen that by wrapping the `ElevatedButton` with a `Container` and setting the `margin` property, we can easily customize the layout and appearance of our buttons. This technique can be applied to other widgets as well, making it a useful tool in our Flutter development toolbox.
