Is there any definite list of Sliver widgets
I am trying to use Sliver to implement collapsible list header. As I am changing widgets from normal to Sliver I often end up with error like this:
I/flutter ( 3141): ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY WIDGETS LIBRARY ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

My understanding is this is because normal widgets can't be used directly to render in Sliver widgets.
Is there any definite list of Sliver widgets in the framework?
sliver.dart doesn't show much
Answer
The docs for RenderSliver seem to be the closest thing we have to definitive Sliver documentation at the moment.
RenderSliver is implemented by
RenderSliverHelpers(mixin)RenderSliverMultiBoxAdaptor(abstract)RenderSliverFixedExtentBoxAdaptor(abstract)_RenderSliverPrototypeExtentList(concrete)RenderSliverFillViewport(concrete)RenderSliverFixedExtentList(concrete)
RenderSliverGrid(concrete)RenderSliverList(concrete)
RenderSliverPadding(concrete)RenderSliverPersistentHeader(abstract)RenderSliverFloatingPersistentHeader(concrete)RenderSliverFloatingPinnedPersistentHeader(concrete)
RenderSliverPinnedPersistentHeader(concrete)RenderSliverScrollingPersistentHeader(concrete)
RenderSliverSingleBoxAdapter(abstract)RenderSliverFillRemaining(concrete)RenderSliverToBoxAdapter(concrete)
These RenderSliver implementations are created by the following widgets:
SliverMultiBoxAdaptorWidget subclasses:
StatelessWidget subclasses:
SliverPersistentHeader- which is used by
SliverAppBar
- which is used by
SingleChildRenderObjectWidget subclasses:
So those are the widgets you can use when you want to produce instances of RenderSliver.
Of course, it's likely that more and more RenderSliver-creating widgets will be added over time, and you can also make your own! Hopefully this list will be enough to get you started.
