Flutter passing object to stateful widget

Question

EDIT -- the error is user is not defined.

   class _CheckInState extends State<CheckIn> {

  double _value = 0;

We have a flutter app that is passing a user object to different screens on a button press. This works great when passing to a Stateless Widget. I tried implementing the same pattern in a Stateful Widget and its not working. Im assuming since Im new to flutter I am doing it wrong and a stateful widget must handle this object differently.

Here is the code for the stateless widget:

class HomeMember extends StatelessWidget {
   User user;

HomeMember({Key key, @required this.user}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context){    
  bool isIOS = Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.iOS;
 return new Scaffold(
     appBar : LBAppBar().getAppBar(),
      //drawer: new LBDrawer().getDrawer(),
     body: Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
        gradient: new LinearGradient(
            colors: [Color.fromRGBO(1,89,99, 1.0), Colors.grey],
            begin: Alignment.bottomLeft,
            end: Alignment.topRight
        )
    ),

  child: Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,    
      children:[
        Row(
                children: [
              Container(
                margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 20.0,top: 10.0, bottom: 10.0, right:30.0),
                child: Column(
      children: <Widget>[



                Text("Hi ${user.firstName}, Today is " + formatDate(), style: new TextStyle( color: Colors.white70, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 19.0 )),




],

I tried using this method of passing the user object in a stateful widget like so, and its not working.

class CheckIn extends StatefulWidget {

 @override
 _CheckInState createState() => _CheckInState();
 User user; 
CheckIn({Key key, @required this.user}) : super(key: key);
}



class _CheckInState extends State<CheckIn> {

  double _value = 0;
 String _emotionalStatus = 'Happy';
  bool didStartDrag = false;
double updatedDragDelta;
bool didEndDrag = false;

Answer 1

Say we have a stateless widget:

class HomeMember extends StatelessWidget {
  final User user;

  HomeMember({Key key, @required this.user}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text("Hi ${user.username}",
      ),
    );
  }
}

The equivalent stateful widget would look like:

class HomeMemberStateful extends StatefulWidget {
  final User user;
  HomeMemberStateful({Key key, @required this.user}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _HomeMemberStatefulState createState() => _HomeMemberStatefulState();
}

class _HomeMemberStatefulState extends State<HomeMemberStateful> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text("Hi ${widget.user.username}, this is a stateful widget",
      ),
    );
  }
}

You can access the object 'user' by calling widget.user in your state class.
