Increase width of AppBar leading property

Question

I'm trying to put text (custom text button) into leading property of AppBar. However when the text get too long then the text end up in multiple lines

Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        centerTitle: true,
        leading: Text('Go back to'),
      ),
    )

How do I increase width of AppBar leading property?

I don't want to use title because it makes centering title a PITA.

Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        centerTitle: true,
        title: Row(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
          children: <Widget>[Text('go back to'), Text('My center title')],
        ),
      ),
    )

Is there any way to change it without messing with title property?

Answer 1

You can set a custom leading width by using the leadingWidth property in the appBar:

Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        leadingWidth: 400,
        leading: Text('Go back to'),
        centerTitle: true,
        title: Text('Center title'),
      ),
)
