When you change the backing list, the template reiterates, destroying all the old elements and recreating them from scratch, so all user resize information is lost.
When you add a new item to the list, you can store all the sizing information of the old elements and then after the item is added set the new elements size:
// Stores size information
List<List> sizes = [];
void add() {
// Store the old sizes
sizes.clear();
ElementList divs = queryAll(".superDivContainer");
for(int i = 0; i < divs.toList().length; i++) {
Element div = divs[i];
sizes.add([div.style.width, div.style.height]);
}
// Add the new item
yourList.add("new");
// Set the sizes of the new elements
Timer timer = new Timer(new Duration(milliseconds: 1), () {
divs = queryAll(".superDivContainer");
for(int i = 0; i < divs.toList().length && i < sizes.length; i++) {
Element div = divs[i];
div.style.width = sizes[i][0];
div.style.height = sizes[i][1];
}
});
}
Two notes:
- I changed superDivContainer to be a class instead of an id since it seems that you are applying it to multiple elements; you will need to change your CSS reflect that
- The 1 millisecond timer gets around the fact that there is a tiny delay until the new elements are added and accessible
