Flutter: Cupertino TextField with hintText


I'd like to add hint text to CupertinoTextField without importing the material theme. Up to this point I tried mixing CupertinoTextField with InputDecoration like so:

CupertinoTextField(
   decoration: InputDecoration.collapsed(
       hintText: 'Enter you email'
   )
)

which results in the following error:

The argument type 'InputDecoration' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'BoxDecoration'

enter image description here


Solution

  • I think you can achieve what you want with the placeholder property of CupertinoTextField.

    Example:

    CupertinoTextField(
       placeholder: "Enter Email",
    )
