Sharing Data Between Tabs in Flutter: A Step-by-Step Guide

When building applications in Flutter, there are times when you need to create a user interface with multiple tabs that can share and update data. A common issue developers face is: how to share data between tabs? In this post, we’ll explore a solution that allows you to effectively share a CustomClass data object between three tabs in a Flutter application.

The Scenario

Imagine you have a screen with three tabs:

Input Tab: Where the user inputs data.

Output Tab 1: Displays data processed from the input.

Output Tab 2: Another output view displaying different results from the same input.

The challenge is to ensure that any updates made in the Input Tab reflect in Output Tab 1 and Output Tab 2 whenever the user switches between them. This is essential for providing a responsive and dynamic user experience.

Solution Overview

To achieve this data sharing between tabs, we can use a callback function paired with the setState method. The flow works like this:

When data is entered in the Input Tab, we provide a way to send that data back up to the main screen.

The main screen updates the shared data (CustomClass).

Whenever the user switches to one of the output tabs, it retrieves and displays the latest data.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Let’s break this down into a structured approach.

1. Define Your Custom Class

First, create your CustomClass that holds the necessary data:

2. Create a Stateful Widget for the Main Screen

Next, you’ll create the main screen containing the TabBarView that holds the tabs.

3. Implement the Input Tab

In the InputTab, you will need to utilize the callback function to send the data back to the main screen.

4. Implement the Output Tabs

The Output Tabs will simply receive the current state of CustomClass and display it.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively share data between tabs in Flutter. Using callback functions alongside setState allows changes made in one tab to propagate to others seamlessly. This approach is simple and doesn’t require complex state management solutions, making it a great option for straightforward tab-switching scenarios.
