如果你已经开始学习Flutter了，是不是很熟悉这段代码。

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return new Text(
     'Flutter Demo',
     style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.title,
   );
}

inherited widget就像对其他的Widget的一个实现或者说是补充，就像Theme.of(context)返回你能拿到一个ThemeData，并使用其内部自定义的属性改变你当前widget的显示效果。

Theme这个源码大家可以去看一下 ，对理解 InheritedWidget会有比较大的帮助
如何在不同的widget中获得共同的数据，本文写个简单的计数器来解释：

inherited_widget.gif

1.创建一个model，用于保存当前的计数值

class InheritedTestModel {
  final int count;
  const InheritedTestModel(this.count);
}

2.创建一个InheritedWidget

class InheritedContext extends InheritedWidget {
  
  //数据
  final InheritedTestModel inheritedTestModel;

  //点击+号的方法
  final Function() increment;

  //点击-号的方法
  final Function() reduce;

  InheritedContext({
    Key key,
    @required this.inheritedTestModel,
    @required this.increment,
    @required this.reduce,
    @required Widget child,
  }) : super(key: key, child: child);

  static InheritedContext of(BuildContext context) {
    return context.inheritFromWidgetOfExactType(InheritedContext);
  }

  //是否重建widget就取决于数据是否相同
  @override
  bool updateShouldNotify(InheritedContext oldWidget) {
    return inheritedTestModel != oldWidget.inheritedTestModel;
  }
}

3.把 "+" ,“-”, "value" 3个widget隔离

class TestWidgetA extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final inheritedContext = InheritedContext.of(context);

    final inheritedTestModel = inheritedContext.inheritedTestModel;

    print('TestWidgetA 中count的值:  ${inheritedTestModel.count}');
    return new Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, top: 10.0, right: 10.0),
      child: new RaisedButton(
          textColor: Colors.black,
          child: new Text('+'),
          onPressed: inheritedContext.increment),
    );
  }
}


class TestWidgetB extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    final inheritedContext = InheritedContext.of(context);

    final inheritedTestModel = inheritedContext.inheritedTestModel;

    print('TestWidgetB 中count的值:  ${inheritedTestModel.count}');

    return  new Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, top: 10.0, right: 10.0),
      child:  new Text('当前count:${inheritedTestModel.count}',style: new TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0),),
    );
  }
}



class TestWidgetC extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    final inheritedContext = InheritedContext.of(context);

    final inheritedTestModel = inheritedContext.inheritedTestModel;

    print('TestWidgetC 中count的值:  ${inheritedTestModel.count}');

    return new Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, top: 10.0, right: 10.0),
      child: new RaisedButton(
          textColor: Colors.black,
          child: new Text('-'),
          onPressed: inheritedContext.reduce),
    );
  }
}

4.组合

class InheritedWidgetTestContainer extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    return new _InheritedWidgetTestContainerState();
  }
}

class _InheritedWidgetTestContainerState
    extends State<InheritedWidgetTestContainer> {
  InheritedTestModel inheritedTestModel;

  _initData() {
    inheritedTestModel = new InheritedTestModel(0);
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    _initData();
    super.initState();
  }

  _incrementCount() {
    setState(() {
      inheritedTestModel = new InheritedTestModel(inheritedTestModel.count + 1);
    });
  }

  _reduceCount() {
    setState(() {
      inheritedTestModel = new InheritedTestModel(inheritedTestModel.count - 1);
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new InheritedContext(
        inheritedTestModel: inheritedTestModel,
        increment: _incrementCount,
        reduce: _reduceCount,
        child: new Scaffold(
          appBar: new AppBar(
            title: new Text('InheritedWidgetTest'),
          ),
          body: new Column(
            children: <Widget>[
              new Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, top: 10.0, right: 10.0),
                child: new Text('我们常使用的\nTheme.of(context).textTheme\nMediaQuery.of(context).size等\n就是通过InheritedWidget实现的',
                  style: new TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0),),
              ),
              new TestWidgetA(),
              new TestWidgetB(),
              new TestWidgetC(),
            ],
          ),
        ));
  }
}

结果：当你操作"+"，“-”,中间value会发现变化，A B C 三个widget都能实时获取到当前改变的值
