wrapContentSize

Common

Modifier in Compose Foundation Layout

Allow the content to measure at its desired size without regard for the incoming measurement [minimum width][Constraints.minWidth] or [minimum height][Constraints.minHeight] constraints, and, if [unbounded] is true, also without regard for the incoming maximum constraints. If the content's measured size is smaller than the minimum size constraint, [align] it within that minimum sized space. If the content's measured size is larger than the maximum size constraint (only possible when [unbounded] is true), [align] within the maximum space.

Code Example

SimpleWrapContentAlignedModifier

@Composable
fun SimpleWrapContentAlignedModifier() {
    // Here the result will be a 20.dp x 20.dp blue box top-centered in a 40.dp x 40.dp space.
    // Because of the sizeIn modifier, if wrapContentSize did not exist, the blue rectangle
    // would actually be 40.dp x 40.dp to satisfy the min size set by the modifier. However,
    // because we provide wrapContentSize, the blue rectangle is specified to be wrap
    // content - if the desired size is smaller than 40.dp x 40.dp, it will be top-centered in
    // this space. Therefore the 20.dp x 20.dp is top-centered in the space.
    Box(
        Modifier.sizeIn(minWidth = 40.dp, minHeight = 40.dp)
            .wrapContentSize(Alignment.TopCenter)
            .size(20.dp)
            .background(Color.Blue)
    )
