Tip Calculator: Reset

Part of the Making It Interactive section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 34 of 34.

The last touch is a Reset button that starts over: empty field, 10% tip, 1 person.

The numbers are in the State, so setState can put them back. The field is the tricky part: it keeps its own text, and setting _bill to 0 does not empty it. You would see 40 in the field while the app works with 0. To empty it, the field needs a controller, as in Read a Field With a Controller:

final TextEditingController _billController = TextEditingController();

void _reset() {
  _billController.clear();
  setState(() {
    _bill = 0;
    // and the tip and the people
  });
}

The field keeps its onChanged: the controller is only there so _reset can clear it. Remember to dispose it.

Challenge

Easy

Give the field a TextEditingController named _billController, and dispose it.
At the bottom, add a TextButton labelled Reset that empties the field and puts the bill back to 0, the tip to 10 and the people to 1.

Try it yourself

      home: const HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  double _bill = 0;
  double _tipPercent = 10;
  int _people = 1;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final double tip = _bill * _tipPercent / 100;
    final double each = (_bill + tip) / _people;
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Tip Calculator')),
