How to resolve package conflict in Flutter?

Question

I am trying to use an external package for generating a PDF document. I have used this library but when I import the below packages, I get en error

The name 'StatelessWidget' is defined in the libraries 'package:flutter/src/widgets/framework.dart' and 'package:pdf/widgets.dart'.

Error screen shot is attached.

Import statements:

import 'package:pdf/pdf.dart';
import 'package:pdf/widgets.dart';

Error:

Can anyone help me in this?

Thank You.

Classes defined in package:pdf are conflicting with those defined in package:flutter. Dart allows you to import a package under a namespace to avoid such conflicts.

Change your second import statement to:

import 'package:pdf/widgets.dart' as pdf;

then you can access anything defined in the package with pdf. before it:

pdf.SomeWidgetName
