Dealing with Future Inside of a Widget

For doing async code there are so many options but the below one will be the simplest for getting work done.

Example:

String _deckString  = "This is a Deck"; /// This variable should be used in a text widget, so until the network fetch the real data, till then default text can be shown

  @override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    client().then((value) { /// This code will run only when async operation done inside method client(), so value is its response which need to be shown
      setState(() {
        _deckString = value;
      });
    });
  }

Full Code:

class _HomeScreenState extends State<HomeScreen> {
  String _deckString  = "This is a Deck";

  @override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    client().then((value) {
      setState(() {
        _deckString = value;
      });
    });
  }

  Future<String> client() async {
     return await HttpRequest.getString('localhost:8000');
  }
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Example'),),
      body: Center(
        child: Row(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          children: <Widget>[
            ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: () {},
              child: Text(_deckString),
            ),
            IconButton(
              icon: Icon(Icons.add),
              onPressed: () {},
              tooltip: 'Add a Card',
            ),
            IconButton(
              icon: Icon(Icons.search),
              onPressed: () {},
              tooltip: 'See All Cards',
            ),
            IconButton(
              icon: Icon(Icons.delete),
              onPressed: () {},
              tooltip: 'Delete this Deck',
            )
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
