Starting May 2019, FocusNode now has unfocus method:

Cancels any outstanding requests for focus.

This method is safe to call regardless of whether this node has ever requested focus.

Use unfocus if you have declared a FocusNode for your text fields:

final focusNode = FocusNode();

// ...

focusNode.unfocus();

My original answer suggested detach method - use it only if you need to get rid of your FocusNode completely. If you plan to keep it around - use unfocus instead.

If you have not declared a FocusNode specifically - use unfocus for the FocusScope of your current context:

FocusScope.of(context).unfocus();
