How to use GetX on a value?

I want to make a Password TextField in which the content visibility can be controlled by the suffix icon.

The code may like this:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:get/get.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(TestGetX());
}

class TestGetX extends StatelessWidget {
  var eyeClosed = true.obs;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("Test GetX"),
        ),
        body: Align(
          alignment: Alignment.center,
          child: Padding(
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
            child: TextFormField(
              obscureText: eyeClosed.value,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                icon: Icon(
                  Icons.security,
                  color: Colors.purple,
                ),
                hintText: "Your Password",
                hintStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.grey),
                suffix: Obx(
                  () => InkWell(
                    child: eyeClosed.value
                        ? Icon(Icons.visibility_off, color: Colors.grey)
                        : Icon(Icons.visibility, color: Colors.purple),
                    onTap: () {
                      eyeClosed.value = !eyeClosed.value;
                    },
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

The suffix icon can be controlled by the Obx(), but the obscureText doesn't work. The direct way is to use Obx() on the TextFormField, but I don't think it is the best way.

Here is the result:

  • Create a controller for your login screen
class LoginController extends GetxController {
  RxBool hidePassword = true.obs;
  final passwordTextController = TextEditingController();
}
  • Extends your login screen widget from GetWidget
class LoginScreen extends GetWidget<LoginController> { 
  final LoginController controller = Get.find<LoginController>();
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return(); //Define your widget
  }
}
  • Wrap your textfield in Obx(()=> )
Obx(() => FormBuilderTextField(
  name: 'password',
  controller: controller.passwordTextController,
  obscureText: controller.hidePassword.value,
  decoration: InputDecoration(
     suffixIcon: IconButton(
       icon: controller.hidePassword.value ? Icon(Icons.visibility_off) 
       : Icon(Icons.visibility),
       onPressed: () {
          controller.hidePassword.value = !controller.hidePassword.value;
       },
     ),
  ),
),

You need to wrap Obx() in TextFormField

Obx(() => TextFormField(...))

I have tried with your code & works fine with a little bit change

class LoginPage extends GetView<LoginController>

Also wrap the whole textFormField in Obx(()=>)

i extend a controller for taking values & calling methods in Getx.i can share my full code if you need.

You should use StatefulWidget when your state is changing. Plus, you can reach the same result you want, without "Get" package. I show you an example here:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class Example extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ExampleState createState() => _ExampleState();
}
class _ExampleState extends State<Example> {
  bool hidePassword = true;
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Padding(
          padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 15),
          child: TextFormField(
            obscureText: hidePassword, // which is true by default
            decoration: InputDecoration(
                hintText: "Enter Password",
                suffixIcon: IconButton(
                  icon: hidePassword == false
                      ? Icon(
                          Icons.visibility_rounded,
                          color: Colors.purple,
                        )
                      : Icon(
                          Icons.visibility_off_rounded,
                          color: Colors.grey,
                        ),
                  onPressed: () {
                    setState(() {
                      // here we change the value
                      // if it's false, it gets true
                      // and if it's true, it gets false
                      hidePassword = !hidePassword;
                    });
                  },
                ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
