RenderFlex overflowed:
Occurs "RenderFlex overflow" error:
content exceeds space.
One way to do it is to wrap the
Column in an Expanded widget.
Another way to do it is to wrap the
Column in a Flexible widget and
specify a flex factor.

Incorrect use of ParentData widget:
Occurs when a widget that except a
certain type of parent is used in the
wrong context.
Expanded works in Row or Column,
not in widgets like Stack lacking
FlexParentData, causing errors if
misused.

setState called during build:

setState() during the build phase.
Doing so disrupts widget building,
potentially causing UI
inconsistencies.

RenderBox was not laid out:
For example, if you’re using a
ListView inside a Column or Row
(which are non-scrollable widgets),
you might encounter this error.
To fix this, you should use wrap it
with Expanded or Flexible or use
inside a SizedBox.

This error occurs when you’re trying
to access an index of a list that
