of static method
The data from the closest TimelineTheme instance that encloses the given context.
Defaults to new ThemeData.fallback
if there is no Theme in the given
build context.
When the TimelineTheme is actually created in the same build
function
(possibly indirectly, e.g. as part of a Timeline), the context
argument to the build
function can't be used to find the TimelineTheme
(since it's "above" the widget being returned). In such cases, the
following technique with a Builder can be used to provide a new scope
with a BuildContext that is "under" the TimelineTheme:
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// TODO: replace to Timeline
return TimelineTheme(
data: TimelineThemeData.vertical(),
child: Builder(
// Create an inner BuildContext so that we can refer to the Theme with TimelineTheme.of().
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: TimelineNode(
direction: TimelineTheme.of(context).direction,
child: Text('Example'),
),
);
},
),
);
}
Implementation
static TimelineThemeData of(BuildContext context) {
final inheritedTheme =
context.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType<_InheritedTheme>();
return inheritedTheme?.theme.data ?? _kFallbackTheme;
}
