In Episode 5 of "How Flutter Works," Craig walks through a full day in the life of a RenderObject. Building on the concepts from Episode 4, this video explains the core responsibilities of RenderObjects: layout, painting, hit testing, and accessibility. Craig demystifies how constraints flow down the render tree, how sizes come back up, and how parent RenderObjects set their children's positions. He also breaks down key methods like layout, paint, and describeSemanticsConfiguration, showing how they fit together to keep your UI responsive and accurate.
