I'm new to flutter and really stuck.I am trying to create a search function that calls a list in my Sqfite database, using a keyword. The database all works fine, but when I insert a keyword in my searchbar that part of the app crashes with the following error:

LateInitializationError: Field 'insertFunction' has not been initialized.Im using the insertFunction and deleteFunction parameters and the constructor, but my createState throws an error then that it needs insert and deleteFunction data, which I cannto do as one cannot pass logic into createState.

Any help will be much appreciated. I need to solve my createState problem and my Lateinitialization problem.

Here is the code:

class SearchPage extends StatefulWidget {
 @override
  _SearchPageState createState() => _SearchPageState();//createState is throwing an error and 
                                                       as that I insert insertFunction and 
                                                       deleteFunction here. But if i do, it 
                                                      also say I should not put logic into 
                                                      createState. 
         }

   class _SearchPageState extends State<SearchPage> {
   late final Function insertFunction;
   late final Function deleteFunction;
   var db = DatabaseConnect();
   String keyword = '';

      _SearchPageState({required this.insertFunction,required this.deleteFunction,});

       @override
       Widget build(BuildContext context) {

       return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Search My Clients'),
          leading: GestureDetector(
           onTap: () {
           Navigator.of(context).pushReplacementNamed('/homePage');
          },
          child: const Icon(

This is how your code should be

class SearchPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
  _SearchPageState createState() => _SearchPageState(); 
}

class _SearchPageState extends State<SearchPage> {
  insertFunction(){
    //function body goes here
  } 

  deleteFunction(){
    //function body goes here
  }

  var db = DatabaseConnect();
  String keyword = '';
  //the rest goes here
