TextButtonModifier class

A Material Design "Text Button".

Use text buttons on toolbars, in dialogs, or inline with other content but offset from that content with padding so that the button's presence is obvious. Text buttons do not have visible borders and must therefore rely on their position relative to other content for context. In dialogs and cards, they should be grouped together in one of the bottom corners. Avoid using text buttons where they would blend in with other content, for example in the middle of lists.

A text button is a label child displayed on a (zero elevation) Material widget. The label's Text and Icon widgets are displayed in the style's ButtonStyle.foregroundColor. The button reacts to touches by filling with the style's ButtonStyle.backgroundColor.

The text button's default style is defined by defaultStyleOf. The style of this text button can be overridden with its style parameter. The style of all text buttons in a subtree can be overridden with the TextButtonTheme and the style of all of the text buttons in an app can be overridden with the Theme's ThemeData.textButtonTheme property.

The static styleFrom method is a convenient way to create a text button ButtonStyle from simple values.

If the onPressed and onLongPress callbacks are null, then this button will be disabled, it will not react to touch.

{@tool dartpad} This sample shows how to render a disabled TextButton, an enabled TextButton and lastly a TextButton with gradient background.

{@tool dartpad} This sample demonstrates using the statesController parameter to create a button that adds support for MaterialState.selected.
