Bold and Italic

Part of the Your First App section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 8 of 32.

A TextStyle can hold several settings at once, separated by commas. Two of them change the shape of the letters:

Text(
  'Read me',
  style: TextStyle(
    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
    fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
  ),
)

FontWeight.bold makes the letters thick. FontStyle.italic slants them. You can use either one on its own, or both together.

Challenge

Easy

Make Important both bold and italic. It already has a TextStyle with its size: add the two settings to it.

Try it yourself

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: Text(
            'Important',
            style: TextStyle(
              fontSize: 24,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
