CodePudding user response：

to use form key you need to add the Form widget and into that widget, you need to pass formKey in the property key like this :

Form(
  key: _formKey,
  child // your textfields.
)

CodePudding user response：

Try the following code:

Form(
  key: _formKey,
  child ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: () {
      if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
        updateProduct().then((value) {
          Navigator.push(
            context,
            MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (context) => HomePage()));
            },
         );
      }
    },
    child: Text("save"),
  ),
),

CodePudding user response：

Have you assigned _formkey inside the form widget?

    Form(
       key: _formKey,
       child : ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: () {
      if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
        updateProduct().then((value) {
          Navigator.push(
            context,
            MaterialPageRoute(
              builder: (context) => HomePage()));
            },
         );
      }
    },
    child: Text("save"),
  ),
),
