BoxFit.contain:- It sets its child to be as large as possible, while still containing the child within the bounds of the parent widget.
BoxFit.cover:- It sets its child to be as small as possible, while still covering the child within the bounds of the parent widget.
BoxFit.fill:- The child fills the parent box while also distorting the aspect ratio of the child.
BoxFit.fitHeight:- It makes sure that the child takes the full height of the parent, and lets the child overflow inside the parent widget horizontally, while still maintaining the aspect ratio.
BoxFit.fitWidth:- It makes sure that the child takes the full width of the parent, and lets the child overflow inside the parent widget vertically, while still maintaining the aspect ratio.
Boxfit.none:- It aligns the child inside the parent centering it by default and discards any portion that lies outside the bounds of the parent widget.
Boxfit.scaleDown:- Similar to none, it ensures to scale the down the child and fit in inside the parent widget. This is same as contain as it shrinks the child to fit inside the parent widget.
