Gradient Text in Flutter

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to create a gradient over text Flutter. There is a gist of text gradient using Dart\'s ui, but it is kinda long and I was hoping to be simpler.

Answer 1

Taken from here, you can use Text's style painter.

Create the shader,

final Shader linearGradient = LinearGradient(
  colors: [Color(0xffDA44bb), Color(0xff8921aa)],
).createShader(Rect.fromLTWH(0.0, 0.0, 200.0, 70.0));

then use it in the TextStyle's foreground

  Text(
        'Hello Gradients!',
        style: new TextStyle(
            fontSize: 60.0,
            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
            foreground: Paint()..shader = linearGradient),
      )
