I hope somebody can explain me some kind of solution:) I've been working on app UI using Flutter and there are 2 types of a button in that app design on Figma, each has its accent (there're 3 for now), which just define the button's heigth.
Those 2 types of button and accents
So those buttons have different emphasis over the app and I need to somehow manage it following the best coding practices.
Well for now I simply created enum, which contains accent variation:
enum ButtonAccent {
primary,
secondary,
tertiary,
}
class FilledButton extends StatelessWidget {
final String text;
final IconData icon;
final Color backgroundColor;
final Color foregroundColor;
// defines a button height following Figma design. By default 'buttonAccent = ButtonAccent.tertiary', which sets 'heigth = 46'
final ButtonAccent buttonAccent;
final VoidCallback onPressed;
const FilledButton(
{super.key,
required this.text,
required this.icon,
this.backgroundColor = ColorConstants.kCallToAction,
this.foregroundColor = ColorConstants.kText,
this.buttonAccent = ButtonAccent.tertiary,
required this.onPressed});
// method that checks accent
double _buttonHeigthFromAccent() => buttonAccent == ButtonAccent.primary
? 72.0
: buttonAccent == ButtonAccent.secondary
? 60.0
: buttonAccent == ButtonAccent.tertiary
? 48.0
: throw Exception('Wrong ButtonAccent value');
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ElevatedButton.icon(
onPressed: onPressed,
style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
minimumSize: Size(double.infinity, _buttonHeigthFromAccent()),
backgroundColor: backgroundColor,
foregroundColor: foregroundColor,
textStyle: const TextStyle(color: ColorConstants.kText),
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20.0))),
icon: Icon(icon),
label: Text(text),
);
}
}
Then my FilledButton contains method that checks the accents passed via constuctor and returning the proper heigth. But! There're plenty of cons in my opinion:
I think it would be better to create an abstract class (interface) so I could implement it for my needs. However I am not sure about it, it can be just extra, pointless work
You can use enhanced enum, it is comes by default from v2.17.0
enum ButtonAccent {
primary(72.0),
secondary(60.0),
tertiary(48.0);
const ButtonAccent(this.size);
final double size;
}
And use the size like
minimumSize: Size(double.infinity, buttonAccent.size),
