Get default theme for TextFormField's InputDecoration's label

Question

I need to create a custom widget that sits alongside of TextFormFields, so I have to style its label to match TextFormField's label style.

This does NOT work:

Theme.of(ctx).inputDecorationTheme.labelStyle

Because, according to its doc:

If null, defaults to a value derived from the base [TextStyle] for the input field and the current [Theme].

The problem is, I don't know how to get that base style.

Answer 1

You are getting the base style correctly. In my case labelStyle and hintStyle from InputDecorationTheme can not be updated by hot reload, but they work when rerunning the app.
