DefaultTabControllerModifier class

The TabController for descendant widgets that don't specify one explicitly.

DefaultTabController is an inherited widget that is used to share a TabController with a TabBar or a TabBarView. It's used when sharing an explicitly created TabController isn't convenient because the tab bar widgets are created by a stateless parent widget or by different parent widgets.

class MyDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  final List<Tab> myTabs = <Tab>[
    Tab(text: 'LEFT'),
    Tab(text: 'RIGHT'),
  ];

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DefaultTabController(
      length: myTabs.length,
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          bottom: TabBar(
            tabs: myTabs,
          ),
        ),
        body: TabBarView(
          children: myTabs.map((Tab tab) {
            final String label = tab.text.toLowerCase();
            return Center(
              child: Text(
                'This is the $label tab',
                style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 36),
              ),
            );
          }).toList(),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
