Change background color on TextField when focused-CodePudding

I have a form with lots of input fields. I would like to change the background color when a TextField has focus:

This is my TextField:

TextFormField(
                focusNode: _textFieldFocus,
                decoration: InputDecoration(
                  labelText: 'Input test',
                  filled: true,
                  focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
                    borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.blue, width: 3),
                  ),
                ),
              ),

I´ve searched some time for a solution, but it seems that you have to wrap the TextField in a stateful widget that uses a FocusNode. Seen in this post for an example: How to change TextFiled widget background color when focus

I am not too keen on this solution, because I have a lot of text fields, and I think it is unnecessary to create stateful instances for each "dumb" text input I have. I would prefer if there was a focusBackgroundColor property or alike. So is there an easier solution than wrapping a TextField in a stateful widget?

CodePudding user response：

Add a listener on FocusNode to use setState for UI update. to change color we can use fillColor: _textFieldFocus.hasFocus ? Colors.purple : null, modify the color you want.

late final _textFieldFocus = FocusNode()
  ..addListener(() {
    setState(() {});
  });
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    body: Column(
      children: [
        TextFormField(
          focusNode: _textFieldFocus,
          decoration: InputDecoration(
            fillColor: _textFieldFocus.hasFocus ? Colors.purple : null,
            labelText: 'Input test',
            filled: true,
            focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
              borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.blue, width: 3),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),

With ValueNotifier

class TestA extends StatelessWidget {
  TestA({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  final ValueNotifier<bool> _textFiledIsFocused = ValueNotifier(false);
  late final FocusNode _textFieldFocus = FocusNode()
    ..addListener(() {
      _textFiledIsFocused.value = _textFieldFocus.hasFocus;
    });
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Column(
        children: [
          ValueListenableBuilder<bool>(
            valueListenable: _textFiledIsFocused,
            builder: (context, value, child) => TextFormField(
              focusNode: _textFieldFocus,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                fillColor: value ? Colors.purple : null,
                labelText: 'Input test',
                filled: true,
                focusedBorder: const UnderlineInputBorder(
                  borderSide: BorderSide(
                    color: Colors.blue,
                    width: 3,
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
 }
}
