Difference between EdgeInsetsGeometry Class EdgeInsets Class in Flutter Dart?

Question

I'm trying to understand some basic elements of Flutter. When I try to use the property of a container, like padding, I believe that it expects an "EdgeInsetGeometry" class. When I read the document about this class, I see that there is "EdgeInset" class as an implementer. I'm confused about this point since I don't know which one I should use.

The document for Flutter is kind of confusing for me at the moment. Could you please help to explain the difference between these two, and how I can figure out what the type of the output is for a class using flutter document?

Answer 1

EdgeInsetsGeometry class is a class for EdgeInsets that allows for text-direction aware resolution.

EdgeInsets class is an immutable set of offsets in each of the four cardinal directions.
