How to set the width of a RaisedButton in Flutter?

Question

I have seen that I can't set the width of a ElevatedButton in Flutter. If I have well understood, I should put the ElevatedButton into a SizedBox. I will then be able to set the width or height of the box. Is it correct? Is there another way to do it?

This is a bit tedious to create a SizedBox around every buttons so I'm wondering why they have chosen to do it this way. I'm pretty sure that they have a good reason to do so but I don't see it. The scaffolding is pretty difficult to read and to build for a beginner.

new SizedBox(   width: 200.0,   height: 100.0,   child: ElevatedButton(     child: Text('Blabla blablablablablablabla bla bla bla'),     onPressed: _onButtonPressed,   ), ),

As said in documentation here

Raised buttons have a minimum size of 88.0 by 36.0 which can be overidden with ButtonTheme.

You can do it like that

ButtonTheme(   minWidth: 200.0,   height: 100.0,   child: RaisedButton(     onPressed: () {},     child: Text("test"),   ), );
