sizeDependent

Declaration

static var sizeDependent: SizeDependentTextVariant { get }

Discussion

When a Text provides different size options for its content, the size dependent preference chooses the largest option that fits into the available space without truncating or clipping its content.

Difference to ViewThatFits

The sizeDependent text variant preference differs from ViewThatFits both in usage and in behavior. ViewThatFits chooses the first child where the ideal size fits the available space. For Text this means that it will only choose texts that can fit their contents into the available space without a line break. With this text variant preference, on the other hand, the largest variant is chosen that can fit the available space while respecting all the regular layout rules, such as lineLimit.

To use ViewThatFits, multiple different views have to be provided as the different size options. With this text variant preference, a single Text provides the different size variants intrinsically. The way it generates these size variants and how many size variants are available depends on the text initializer used.
