Screen widgets #
SettingsScreen
A simple Screen widget that may contain settings tiles or other widgets.
The following example shows how you can create an empty settings screen with a title:
SettingsScreen(
title: "Application Settings",
children: [],
);

Inside the children parameter you can define settings tiles and other widgets. In this example we create a screen with a simple CheckboxSettingsTile in it:
SettingsScreen(
title: "Application Settings",
children:
CheckboxSettingsTile(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
title: 'This is a simple Checkbox',
),
,
);

SettingsToggleScreen
A Screen widget similar to SettingsScreen, but additionally, it contains a built-in Checkbox at the beginning of its body. Therefore, it requires a settingKey to save its value.
The following example shows how you can create an empty settings toggle with a title:
SettingsToggleScreen(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
title: 'Title',
children: [],
);
copied to clipboard
In this example, we create a settings toggle screen using more parameters and with children widgets according to its state:
SettingsToggleScreen(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
title: 'Title',
defaultValue: true,
subtitle: 'Enabled',
subtitleIfOff: 'Disabled',
children:
SettingsContainer(
child: Text('This is enabled! :)'),
),

childrenIfOff:
SettingsContainer(
child: Text('Tap the checkbox to enable.'),
),
],
);

Retrieving data #
In this chapter, some StreamBuilder function will be introduced to show how you can retrieve data from Settings that will be rebuilt when the data changes.
onStringChanged
Use this function to retrieve a String type value.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data you have saved earlier. It also reacts if data changes:
Settings().onStringChanged(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 'Empty',
childBuilder: (BuildContext context, String value){
return Text(value);
},
);
copied to clipboard
onBoolChanged
Use this function to retrieve a bool type value.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data you have saved earlier. It also reacts if data changes:
Settings().onBoolChanged(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: false,
childBuilder: (BuildContext context, bool value){
return Text(value.toString());
},
);
copied to clipboard
onDoubleChanged
Use this function to retrieve a double type value.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data you have saved earlier. It also reacts if data changes:
Settings().onDoubleChanged(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 0.0,
childBuilder: (BuildContext context, double value){
return Text(value.toString());
},
);
copied to clipboard
onIntChanged
Use this function to retrieve a int type value.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data you have saved earlier. It also reacts if data changes:
Settings().onIntChanged(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 0,
childBuilder: (BuildContext context, int value){
return Text(value.toString());
},
);
copied to clipboard
getString
Retrieve String settings value asynchronously.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data asynchronously:
void someAsyncFunction() async {
String myValue = await Settings().getString(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 'Default value',
);
// ...
}
copied to clipboard
getBool
Retrieve bool settings value asynchronously.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data asynchronously:
void someAsyncFunction() async {
bool myValue = await Settings().getBool(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: true,
);
// ...
}
copied to clipboard
getDouble
Retrieve double settings value asynchronously.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data asynchronously:
void someAsyncFunction() async {
double myValue = await Settings().getDouble(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 0.0,
);
// ...
}
copied to clipboard
getInt
Retrieve int settings value asynchronously.
The following example shows how you can retrieve easily a data asynchronously:
void someAsyncFunction() async {
int myValue = await Settings().getInt(
settingKey: 'key-of-your-setting',
defaultValue: 0,
);
// ...
}

Conditional Logic #
Some Settings Tiles have enabledIfKey and/or visibleIfKey, visibleByDefault parameters.
Using these parameters, some basic conditional logic can be achieved.
In this example, the SimpleSettingsTile will be hidden by default and will appear as soon as the Checkbox or Switch that has key-of-parent settingKey get turned on:
SimpleSettingsTile(
title: 'Conditionally visible',
visibleIfKey: 'key-of-parent',
);
copied to clipboard
In this example, the SimpleSettingsTile will be enabled by default because we told it via the defaultVisibility: true parameter. It reams enabled until the key-of-parent is turned on. The parameter called defaultVisibility is the default behaviour of the visibility and the enabled state as well:
SimpleSettingsTile(
title: 'Conditionally enabled.',
enabledIfKey: 'key-of-parent',
defaultVisibility: true,
);
