buildLeading method

  1. @override
Widget? buildLeading(
  1. BuildContext context
)
override

A widget to display before the current query in the AppBar.

Typically an IconButton configured with a BackButtonIcon that exits the search with close. One can also use an AnimatedIcon driven by transitionAnimation, which animates from e.g. a hamburger menu to the back button as the search overlay fades in.

Returns null if no widget should be shown.

  • AppBar.leading, the intended use for the return value of this method.

@override
Widget? buildLeading(BuildContext context) {
  return IconButton(
      tooltip: 'Close',
      onPressed: () => close(context, SearchResult(isCancelled: true)),
      icon: const Icon(Icons.arrow_back_ios_new));
}
