So far whenever I needed to use a conditional statement within a Widget I have done the following (Using Center and Containers as simplified dummy examples):
In my app I created a WidgetChooser widget so I can choose between widgets without conditional logic:
WidgetChooser(
condition: true,
trueChild: Text('This widget appears if the condition is true.'),
falseChild: Text('This widget appears if the condition is false.'),
);
This is the source for the WidgetChooser widget:
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
class WidgetChooser extends StatelessWidget {
final bool condition;
final Widget trueChild;
final Widget falseChild;
WidgetChooser({@required this.condition, @required this.trueChild, @required this.falseChild});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (condition) {
return trueChild;
} else {
return falseChild;
}
}
}
