Align a flutter PageView to the screen left

Question

I want to render cards with a horizontal paged scroll and be able to see the borders of the previous and next card every time one is visible. The flutter PageView widget produces almost the result I want, but it doesn't show the pages aligned the way I want, this is my code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'PageView Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'PageView Alignment'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text(title)),
      body: PageView.builder(
        itemCount: 5,
        itemBuilder: (context, i) => Container(
              color: Colors.blue,
              margin: const EdgeInsets.only(right: 10),
              child: Center(child: Text("Page $i")),
            ),
        controller: PageController(viewportFraction: .7),
      ),
    );
  }
}

this is the result the above code produces

I want the PageView to be aligned to the left of the screen, or at least that first page, i.e to remove that blank space at the left of Page 0. I s there any PageView parameter I'm missing? Or does some other component exists that produces the result I'm looking for?

Answer 1

Setting the PageView's padEnds property to false should do the trick 👌🏽.

...the property probably didn't exist in the past.
