Hiding keyboard when clicked outside tap-able views

import 'package:flutter_screwdriver/flutter_screwdriver.dart';


HideKeyboard(
  MaterialApp(
    theme: ThemeData.light(),
    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    home: Scaffold(
      body: MyWidget(),
    ),
  ),
);

Clearing focus when navigation happens (mainly to close keyboard if visible)

import 'package:flutter_screwdriver/flutter_screwdriver.dart';

MaterialApp(
  theme: ThemeData.light(),
  debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
  navigatorObservers: [
    ClearFocusNavigatorObserver(),
  ],
  home: Scaffold(
    body: MyWidget(),
  ),
);
