Deprecated API removed after v2.2

Contents

Summary

In accordance with Flutter’s Deprecation Policy, deprecated APIs that reached end of life after the 2.2 stable release have been removed.

All affected APIs have been compiled into this primary source to aid in migration. A quick reference sheet is available as well.

Changes

This section lists the deprecations, listed by the affected class.

hasFloatingPlaceholder of InputDecoration & InputDecorationTheme

Supported by Flutter Fix: yes

hasFloatingPlaceholder was deprecated in v1.13.2. Use floatingLabelBehavior instead. Where useFloatingPlaceholder was true, replace with FloatingLabelBehavior.auto. Where useFloatingPlaceholder was false, replace with FloatingLabelBehavior.never. This change allows more behaviors to be specified beyond the original binary choice, adding FloatingLabelBehavior.always as an additional option.

Migration guide

Code before migration: 

// InputDecoration
// Base constructor
InputDecoration(hasFloatingPlaceholder: true);
InputDecoration(hasFloatingPlaceholder: false);

// collapsed constructor
InputDecoration.collapsed(hasFloatingPlaceholder: true);
InputDecoration.collapsed(hasFloatingPlaceholder: false);

// Field access
inputDecoration.hasFloatingPlaceholder;

// InputDecorationTheme
// Base constructor
InputDecorationTheme(hasFloatingPlaceholder: true);
InputDecorationTheme(hasFloatingPlaceholder: false);

// Field access
inputDecorationTheme.hasFloatingPlaceholder;

// copyWith
inputDecorationTheme.copyWith(hasFloatingPlaceholder: false);
inputDecorationTheme.copyWith(hasFloatingPlaceholder: true);

Code after migration: 

// InputDecoration
// Base constructor
InputDecoration(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.auto);
InputDecoration(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.never);

// collapsed constructor
InputDecoration.collapsed(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.auto);
InputDecoration.collapsed(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.never);

// Field access
inputDecoration.floatingLabelBehavior;

// InputDecorationTheme
// Base constructor
InputDecorationTheme(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.auto);
InputDecorationTheme(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.never);

// Field access
inputDecorationTheme.floatingLabelBehavior;

// copyWith
inputDecorationTheme.copyWith(floatingLabelBehavior: FloatingLabelBehavior.never);

Default Typography

Supported by Flutter Fix: no

The default Typography was deprecated in v1.13.8. The prior default returned the text stylings of the 2014 Material Design specification. This will now result in TextStyles reflecting the 2018 Material Design specification. For the former, use the material2014 constructor.

Migration guide

Code before migration: 

// Formerly returned 2014 TextStyle spec
Typography();

Code after migration: 

// Use 2018 TextStyle spec, either by default or explicitly.
Typography();
Typography.material2018();

// Use 2014 spec from former API
Typography.material2014();
