Flutter - how to supply init value of TextField with dynamic value from FutureBuilder?

I'm making an 'edit user profile' page where I want to download data from FutureBuilder into TextField, to allow users to modify it. I know that TextEditingController() has a property called text, but I don't know how to dynamically pass the global variable called createdUser to it.

FutureBuilder:

FutureBuilder<Prefix.User>(
      future: createUser(),
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        var user;
          (...)
        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
          final userName = snapshot.data.username;

          user = Prefix.User(username: userName);

          widget.createdUser = user;
        }

And I want do do something like that in TextEditingController :

  TextEditingController messageTextController = TextEditingController(
      text: createdUser.username);

I've tried to pass data through constructor, but without effect, I know there's need to be some simple solution. FutureBuilder works ok, because when I've tried to use it to display as hint value it was ok.

Declare your controller like this:-

TextEditingController messageTextController = TextEditingController();

and in your future builder

    FutureBuilder<Prefix.User>(
          future: createUser(),
          builder: (context, snapshot) {
            var user;
              (...)
            if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
              final userName = snapshot.data.username;
    
              user = Prefix.User(username: userName);
    
              widget.createdUser = user;
              messageTextController.text=createdUser.username;//this will add the value of username to the controller
            }
