Define Colors class in flutter project

Defining an AppColors class in a Flutter project is a great way to manage your color palette consistently across your app. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a Colors File: First, create a new Dart file, usually named app_colors.dart in your lib directory (you might want to create a styles or theme folder for better organization).
2. Define the Class: Inside app_colors.dart, define a class that contains your color constants.

Here’s an example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class AppColors {
  // Primary colors
  static const Color primary = Color(0xFF6200EA);
  static const Color primaryVariant = Color(0xFF3700B3);
  static const Color secondary = Color(0xFF03DAC6);
  static const Color secondaryVariant = Color(0xFF018786);

  // Background colors
  static const Color background = Color(0xFFF5F5F5);
  static const Color surface = Color(0xFFFFFFFF);

  // Error color
  static const Color error = Color(0xFFB00020);

  // Text colors
  static const Color onPrimary = Color(0xFFFFFFFF);
  static const Color onSecondary = Color(0xFF000000);
  static const Color onBackground = Color(0xFF000000);
  static const Color onSurface = Color(0xFF000000);
  static const Color onError = Color(0xFFFFFFFF);
}

3. Using the AppColors Class: You can then use these color constants in your widgets.

For example:

import 'app_colors.dart';

class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      color: AppColors.primary,
      child: Text(
        'Hello, Flutter!',
        style: TextStyle(color: AppColors.onPrimary),
      ),
    );
  }
}

4. ThemeData: You can also integrate AppColors into your app’s theme for a more consistent approach:

import 'app_colors.dart';

final ThemeData appTheme = ThemeData(
  primaryColor: AppColors.primary,
  accentColor: AppColors.secondary,
  backgroundColor: AppColors.background,
  errorColor: AppColors.error,
  textTheme: TextTheme(
    bodyText1: TextStyle(color: AppColors.onBackground),
    // Add more text styles as needed
  ),
);

5. Apply the Theme: Finally, apply your theme in the MaterialApp widget:

void main() {
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
      theme: appTheme,
      home: MyHomePage(),
    ),
  );
}

This approach keeps your color management organized and makes it easy to make changes globally throughout your app.
