Passing data from custom_widget.dart to main.dart

Question

I'm a beginner and this may be basic to most of you, but I did struggle for a few weeks and now I've decided to ask for help.

I'm using SfCalendar in a Flutter project, and I can't pass data "backwards" to main.dart - appBar.

I want to place the month (onChanged) on the AppBar in main.dart. However, my _month is on another file in another widget

MyApp(
  child:CalendarWidget(
      child: SfCalendar //_month is here))

I hope the screenshot makes more sense.

I tried Provider but failed....(don't know how to use it tbh.) :(

Syncfusion was friendly enaugh to help me with this.... I needed a setter... well...

S

tring? month, year;

class CalendarWidget extends StatefulWidget

{

    StateSetter setter;

    CalendarWidget(this.setter);

    @override

  State<CalendarWidget> createState() => _CalendarWidgetState();

}

 

void viewChanged(ViewChangedDetails viewChangedDetails)

{

    SchedulerBinding.instance

        .addPostFrameCallback((Duration duration) {

        setState(() {

            widget.setter(() {

                month = DateFormat('MMMM', 'de')

                    .format(viewChangedDetails.visibleDates[

                viewChangedDetails.visibleDates.length ~/ 2])

                    .toString();

                year = DateFormat('yyyy', 'de')

                    .format(viewChangedDetails.visibleDates[

                viewChangedDetails.visibleDates.length ~/ 2])

                    .toString();

            });

    });

  });

}
