theme_mode_handler

Description:

theme mode handler

theme_mode_handler #




Flutter widget to change themeMode during runtime and persist it across restarts.
Motivation #
Flutter 1.9 introduced a new way to control which theme is used: MaterialApp.themeMode. If you have specified the darkTheme and theme properties, you can use themeMode to control it. The property defaults to ThemeMode.system.
This package wraps this functionality and allows you to persist and retrieve the user's preference wherever you want by implementing an interface.
Installation #
Add this to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
theme_mode_handler: ^3.0.0

Usage #

Create a class that implements the IThemeModeManager interface:

class MyManager implements IThemeModeManager {
@override
Future<String> loadThemeMode() async {}

@override
Future<bool> saveThemeMode(String value) async {}
}

Import the ThemeModeHandler widget, wrap MaterialApp with it and pass it an instance of your manager:

import 'package:theme_mode_handler/theme_mode_handler.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ThemeModeHandler(
manager: MyManager(),
builder: (ThemeMode themeMode) {
return MaterialApp(
themeMode: themeMode,
darkTheme: ThemeData(
brightness: Brightness.dark,
),
theme: ThemeData(
brightness: Brightness.light,
),
home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
);
},
);
}
}
