TextButton class - material library

A Material Design "Text Button".

Use text buttons on toolbars, in dialogs, or inline with other content but offset from that content with padding so that the button's presence is obvious. Text buttons do not have visible borders and must therefore rely on their position relative to other content for context. In dialogs and cards, they should be grouped together in one of the bottom corners. Avoid using text buttons where they would blend in with other content, for example in the middle of lists.

A text button is a label child displayed on a (zero elevation) Material widget. The label's Text and Icon widgets are displayed in the style's ButtonStyle.foregroundColor. The button reacts to touches by filling with the style's ButtonStyle.backgroundColor.

The text button's default style is defined by defaultStyleOf. The style of this text button can be overridden with its style parameter. The style of all text buttons in a subtree can be overridden with the TextButtonTheme and the style of all of the text buttons in an app can be overridden with the Theme's ThemeData.textButtonTheme property.

The static styleFrom method is a convenient way to create a text button ButtonStyle from simple values.

If the onPressed and onLongPress callbacks are null, then this button will be disabled, it will not react to touch.

This sample shows various ways to configure TextButtons, from the simplest default appearance to versions that don't resemble Material Design at all.

Constructors

TextButton({Key? key, required VoidCallback? onPressed, VoidCallback? onLongPress, ValueChanged<bool>? onHover, ValueChanged<bool>? onFocusChange, ButtonStyle? style, FocusNode? focusNode, bool autofocus = false, Clip? clipBehavior, MaterialStatesController? statesController, bool? isSemanticButton = true, required Widget child}): Create a TextButton.
const
TextButton.icon({Key? key, required VoidCallback? onPressed, VoidCallback? onLongPress, ValueChanged<bool>? onHover, ValueChanged<bool>? onFocusChange, ButtonStyle? style, FocusNode? focusNode, bool autofocus = false, Clip? clipBehavior = Clip.none, MaterialStatesController? statesController, Widget? icon, required Widget label, IconAlignment? iconAlignment}): Create a text button from a pair of widgets that serve as the button's icon and label.

Properties

autofocus → bool: True if this widget will be selected as the initial focus when no other node in its scope is currently focused.
finalinherited
child → Widget?: Typically the button's label.
finalinherited
clipBehavior → Clip?: The content will be clipped (or not) according to this option.
finalinherited
enabled → bool: Whether the button is enabled or disabled.
no setterinherited
focusNode → FocusNode?: An optional focus node to use as the focus node for this widget.
finalinherited
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
iconAlignment → IconAlignment?: Determines the alignment of the icon within the widgets such as:
finalinherited
isSemanticButton → bool?: Determine whether this subtree represents a button.
finalinherited
key → Key?: Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
onFocusChange → ValueChanged<bool>?: Handler called when the focus changes.
finalinherited
onHover → ValueChanged<bool>?: Called when a pointer enters or exits the button response area.
finalinherited
onLongPress → VoidCallback?: Called when the button is long-pressed.
finalinherited
onPressed → VoidCallback?: Called when the button is tapped or otherwise activated.
finalinherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
statesController → MaterialStatesController?: Represents the interactive "state" of this widget in terms of a set of WidgetStates, like WidgetState.pressed and WidgetState.focused.
finalinherited
style → ButtonStyle?: Customizes this button's appearance.
finalinherited
tooltip → String?: Text that describes the action that will occur when the button is pressed or hovered over.
