Habit Tracker: Light and Dark

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 36 of 36.

People check habits late at night, so the last feature is dark mode, with a button in the top bar: a moon to turn it on, a sun to turn it back.

The theme lives in MaterialApp, so the switch does too: MyApp becomes a StatefulWidget with a bool _dark. MaterialApp gets both themes and picks one with themeMode:

darkTheme: ThemeData(
  colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
    seedColor: Colors.green,
    brightness: Brightness.dark,
  ),
),
themeMode: _dark ? ThemeMode.dark : ThemeMode.light,

The button is in the habit screen, far below MyApp. Lift the state up once more: HabitScreen gets dark to pick its icon and an onToggleTheme callback to call. The screen reads them from its widget as widget.dark and widget.onToggleTheme.

Every color in the app came from the theme, so the cards, the circles and the ring all switch with it. Your habits stay ticked, since they live in the screen's state, not in the theme.

This is the last lesson of the course's projects. The checks use the whole tracker: add, tick, streak, delete, the ring and dark mode.

Challenge

Hard

Add dark mode:

  • make MyApp a StatefulWidget with bool _dark = false, give MaterialApp a darkTheme from the same green seed with Brightness.dark, and set themeMode from _dark
  • give HabitScreen a required bool dark and VoidCallback onToggleTheme; MyApp passes _dark and a function that flips it in setState
  • in the top bar's actions, an IconButton shows Icons.dark_mode in light mode and Icons.light_mode in dark mode, and calls widget.onToggleTheme
