Flutter position stack widget in center

📝 Title: How to Position a Stack Widget in the Center Using Flutter

Hey there Flutter enthusiasts! 😄

Are you struggling with positioning a stack widget in the center of your Flutter app? Don't worry, we've got you covered! 🙌

A fellow Flutter developer reached out to us with a common issue: they had widgets in a stack but couldn't figure out how to position their button bar in the center bottom of the stack. No matter what alignment property they tried, the widget stubbornly stuck to the left side. Let's dive into their code and find an easy solution! 💪

Here's the code snippet provided by our developer friend:

new Positioned(
  bottom: 40.0,
  child: new Container(
    margin: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
    child: new Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        new Align(
          alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
          child: new ButtonBar(
            alignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: <Widget>[
              new OutlineButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.push(
                    context,
                    new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new LoginPage()),
                  );
                },
                child: new Text(
                  "Login",
                  style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                ),
              ),
              new RaisedButton(
                color: Colors.white,
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.push(
                    context,
                    new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new RegistrationPage()),
                  );
                },
                child: new Text(
                  "Register",
                  style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  ),
)

After reviewing the code, it's clear that our developer friend has already tried numerous alignment options without success. But fear not, we have a simple solution that will do the trick! 😊

Instead of using the Align widget for alignment, we can use the Center widget. Here's how to modify the code:

new Positioned(
  bottom: 40.0,
  child: new Container(
    margin: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
    child: new Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        new Center( // Replace Align with Center
          child: new ButtonBar(
            alignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: <Widget>[
              new OutlineButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.push(
                    context,
                    new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new LoginPage()),
                  );
                },
                child: new Text(
                  "Login",
                  style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                ),
              ),
              new RaisedButton(
                color: Colors.white,
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.push(
                    context,
                    new MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => new RegistrationPage()),
                  );
                },
                child: new Text(
                  "Register",
                  style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  ),
)

That's it! By replacing the Align widget with Center, the button bar will now be perfectly positioned in the center bottom of the stack. 🎉
