Passing Data to a Stateful Widget in Flutter

I'm wondering what the recommended way of passing data to a stateful widget, while creating it, is.

The two styles I've seen are:

class ServerInfo extends StatefulWidget {

  Server _server;

  ServerInfo(Server server) {
    this._server = server;
  }

  @override
    State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new _ServerInfoState(_server);
}

class _ServerInfoState extends State<ServerInfo> {
  Server _server;

  _ServerInfoState(Server server) {
    this._server = server;
  }
}

This method keeps a value both in ServerInfo and _ServerInfoState, which seems a bit wasteful.

The other method is to use widget._server:

class ServerInfo extends StatefulWidget {

  Server _server;

  ServerInfo(Server server) {
    this._server = server;
  }

  @override
    State<StatefulWidget> createState() => new _ServerInfoState();
}

class _ServerInfoState extends State<ServerInfo> {
  @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      widget._server = "10"; // Do something we the server value
      return null;
    }
}

This seems a bit backwards as the state is no longer stored in _ServerInfoSate but instead in the widget.

Is there a best practice for this?

The constructor can be reduced to ServerInfo(this._server);

Don't pass parameters to State using it's constructor. You should only access the parameters using this.widget.myField.

Not only editing the constructor requires a lot of manual work ; it doesn't bring anything. There's no reason to duplicate all the fields of Widget.

EDIT :

Here's an example:

class ServerIpText extends StatefulWidget {
  final String serverIP;

  const ServerIpText ({ Key? key, this.serverIP }): super(key: key);

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

class _ServerIpTextState extends State<ServerIpText> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(widget.serverIP);
  }
}

class AnotherClass extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Center(
      child: ServerIpText(serverIP: "127.0.0.1")
    );
  }
}

A further comment, anything you pass to a State object through the constructor won't ever get updated!
And here I am and don't understand the comment. "Don't pass parameters to State using it's constructor". So how do I pass parameters to the State?
@Rexford State already as access to all the properties of Stateful by using the widget field.
@RémiRousselet What if I want to use foo to pre-fill a textfield, and still allow the user to edit it. Should I also add another foo property in the state?
On other hand, keeping all the objects in widget instead of state seems weird.

Best way is don't pass parameters to State class using it's constructor. You can easily access in State class using widget.myField.

For Example

class UserData extends StatefulWidget {
  final String clientName;
  final int clientID;
  const UserData(this.clientName,this.clientID);

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

class UserDataState extends State<UserData> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // Here you direct access using widget
    return Text(widget.clientName); 
  }
}

Pass your data when you Navigate screen :

 Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => UserData("WonderClientName",132)));

Another answer, building on @RémiRousselet's anwser and for @user6638204's question, if you want to pass initial values and still be able to update them in the state later:

class MyStateful extends StatefulWidget {
  final String foo;

  const MyStateful({Key key, this.foo}): super(key: key);

  @override
  _MyStatefulState createState() => _MyStatefulState(foo: this.foo);
}

class _MyStatefulState extends State<MyStateful> {
  String foo;

  _MyStatefulState({this.foo});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(foo);
  }
}

We can directly use initState to do something like foo = widget.foo, no passing to constructor is required
How to pass argument to this ?
@SteevJames the widget MyStateful has one optional named parameter (property) you can create this widget by calling MyStateful(foo: "my string",)
@Aqib the initState does not solve a problem in the following scenario: for example, you created your Statefull widget with empty parameters and you're waiting for your data to load. When the data is loaded you want to update your Statefull widget with the fresh data and in this case when you call MyStatefull(newData) it's initState() won't be called! In this case didUpdateWidget(MyStatefull oldWidget) will be called and you would need to compare your data from argument oldWidget.getData() with widget.data and if it's not the same - call setState() to rebuild the widget.
@kirill-karmazin can you elaborate more on the Stateless widget solution? what would you use instead? Is it a best practice from the Flutter team? Thank you

For passing initial values (without passing anything to the constructor)

class MyStateful extends StatefulWidget {
  final String foo;

  const MyStateful({Key key, this.foo}): super(key: key);

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

class _MyStatefulState extends State<MyStateful> {
  @override
  void initState(){
    super.initState();
    // you can use this.widget.foo here
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(foo);
  }
}

Flutter's stateful widgets API is kinda awkward: storing data in Widget in order to access it in build() method which resides in State object 🤦 If you don't want to use some of bigger state management options (Provider, BLoC), use flutter_hooks (https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_hooks) - it is a nicer and cleaner substitute for SatefullWidgets:

class Counter extends HookWidget {
  final int _initialCount;

  Counter(this._initialCount = 0);
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final counter = useState(_initialCount);

    return GestureDetector(
      // automatically triggers a rebuild of Counter widget
      onTap: () => counter.value++,
      child: Text(counter.value.toString()),
    );
  }
}

@Rémi Rousselet, @Sanjayrajsinh, @Daksh Shah is also better. but I am also defined this is in from starting point.that which parameter is which value

   import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
    
    
    void main() => runApp(MyApp());
    
    class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
      String name = "Flutter Demo";
      String description = "This is Demo Application";
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
          home: MainActivity(
            appName: name,
            appDescription: description,
          ),
        );
      }
    }
    
    class MainActivity extends StatefulWidget {
      MainActivity({Key key, this.appName, this.appDescription}) : super(key: key);
      var appName;
      var appDescription;
    
      @override
      _MainActivityState createState() => _MainActivityState();
    }
    
    class _MainActivityState extends State<MainActivity> {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: Text(widget.appName),
          ),
          body: Scaffold(
            body: Center(
              child: Text(widget.appDescription),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }

To pass data to stateful widget, first of all, create two pages. Now from the first page open the second page and pass the data.

class PageTwo extends StatefulWidget {
  final String title;
  final String name;

  PageTwo ({ this.title, this.name });

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

class PageTwoStateState extends State<PageTwo> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return Text(
         widget.title,
         style: TextStyle(
               fontSize: 18, fontWeight: FontWeight.w700),
               ),
  }
}

class PageOne extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialButton(
          text: "Open PageTwo",
          onPressed: () {
                var destination = ServicePage(
                   title: '<Page Title>',
                   provider: '<Page Name>',
                );
                Navigator.push(context,
                    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => destination));
                        },);
  }
}
