Flutter : Can't access data passed from another screen

Time:03-15

I'm trying to build 2 screens one contains a list of products and the second has product details, I'm using firebase to store data and so I fetch the data from Firestore in the first screen and it all works perfectly. However in the second screen I pass product data correctly using Navigator but I cannot use that data in my ui, here is code for my second screen, Second screen Code

As you can see I cannot use the name variable in my widget tree, i've seen videos on youtube and I found that some people use state management to solve this problem, but for my case I just want to pass data and display it so... thank you in advance.

CodePudding user response:

The way you've passed data is correct but the way you've accessed the data isn't.

Whenever you try to access the variables of a Class in its state, you do that using widget. So, to access the name or other variables, just do as follows:

widget.name

CodePudding user response:

Use widget.name instead of name in screen to show name or any class attributes.

CodePudding user response:

A [State] object's configuration is the corresponding [StatefulWidget] instance. This property is initialized by the framework before calling [initState]. If the parent updates this location in the tree to a new widget with the same [runtimeType] and [Widget.key] as the current configuration, the framework will update this property to refer to the new widget and then call [didUpdateWidget], passing the old configuration as an argument.

For that you can use widget.key, this will work fine for you.
