How to style an ElevatedButton in Flutter

ElevatedButton replaces the old RaisedButton widget in Flutter and its API is different. Here's how to use it:

ElevatedButton( style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom( backgroundColor: Colors.black, // background (button) color foregroundColor: Colors.white, // foreground (text) color ), onPressed: () => print('pressed'), child: const Text('Add to Cart'), )

The backgroundColor and foregroundColor properties were introduced in Flutter 3.3. Prior to that, they were called primary and onPrimary.

Want to reuse the same style across all ElevatedButtons in your app?

Just set ThemeData.elevatedButtonTheme inside MaterialApp:

MaterialApp( theme: ThemeData( elevatedButtonTheme: ElevatedButtonThemeData( style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom( backgroundColor: Colors.black, // background (button) color foregroundColor: Colors.white, // foreground (text) color ), ), ), )

Note: there are many properties that you can style. Check the documentation of ButtonStyle for more info.

Happy coding!
