autoFocus property

bool autoFocus
final

Whether to automatically focus the field (showing the keyboard) shortly after the widget is first built. Defaults to true.

When true, focus is requested ~350ms after the first frame so a route transition animating in doesn't fight the keyboard appearing. When false, the field is created without focus and the user must tap on it to start typing. Only consulted at initState — flipping it later has no effect.

Implementation

final bool autoFocus;
